[quote=Anonymous]I think it depends on how the relationship goes. Being close to someone as a child isn't necessarily enough, because adults have other considerations in deciding whether to caregive. I can't place a stepparent above myself, my husband and kids, my actual parents and in-laws, and my siblings if they need me. I might be like 60 or 70 years old when care is needed and there's really no guarantee I would be able to provide it. I think it's very optimistic to expect this to happen in any significant way. If someone were not a good caregiver for my parent, I certainly would not stay in touch.[/quote]
