Related: Culture Forums, Support ForumsMy great nephew is about to be born.
I expect this is as close to being a 'grand'parent as I will get.
I do have two boys--both gay--but doubtful they will adopt
children.

We are awaiting the birth of a grandchild who I never expected. Sometimes miracles do happen.
BTW, I have beautiful great-nephew whom I love as much as a grandchild.

(54,274 posts)2. I don't think I'll ever be a 'great' anything.
My grandson is 10.
I'm 70.
I'm an only child (gee, that sounds funny at 70) so no nephews or nieces.
Not by blood, anyway.
Congratulations on being a 'great'.
One of my favorite relatives was my great-aunt Lucia.
My granddaughter (5) is named for her.
All the best.
