Surrogate grandma explains

“After death, I’m sitting on a cloud”

Demand is high, supply is scarce. Around 50 surrogate grandmothers work throughout Vorarlberg. Sylvia Fleischhauer-Prange is one of them. She has been looking after her surrogate granddaughter Tilla for almost three years. The six-year-old has taken the pensioner to her heart - and asks lots of questions. 

Sylvia Fleischhauer-Prange is quite good at dealing with questions about where she will be when she dies. "After I die, I'll sit on a cloud and see what you do," she recently answered the six-year-old. However, things get a little trickier when it comes to the wish for a little sister.
