Abstract
This study investigates how “grandfamilies,” families in which grandparents assume caregiving responsibility for a grandchild, negotiate and apply familial labels for identity formation. About 2.7 million grandparents in the U.S. are the primary caregiver for a grandchild (Generations United, 2014).
