firslty theres a BAAF book..'related by adoption' which you can hand about to family for some reading :) secondly does your LA have anything for extended family? our LA have a family and friends session for people to listen to people who have become granparents/aunties etc via adoption and to learn how it all works..how its wonderful but different, and why they might have to give you space even tho they might be desperate to visit etc..
my mum is hopefully going to be one of the speakers at one of these session and we've talked a little about what she'll say. our children were the first (and so far only!) grandchildren so there was much excitement..i honestly dont think there could have been any more for a birth child! I did have worries at points tho that they wouldnt accept our children or bond with them, or feel put out that we said we wouldnt be sharing their background story (my mum was a bit shocked at that at first but she understood why) everyone has honestly treated our children as if they were our birth children, they have been as loved and very much wanted by everyone as much as they were wanted by us. my mum says she couldnt imagine us having any other children and they are her grandchildren and that is that :)

do you have any particular concerns that they might not accept your adopted child, has anyone said anything negative? maybe ask your parents if they have any worries about it all..perhaps they want to ask things and dont know how to? i hyped up the arrival of our first (it was a rocky road to getting her home) by framing up a couple of prints from the foster carer, wrapping them up and giving them to my mum and sis..along the bottom of the picture i put a little note saying 'will you be my grandma/auntie' :) and they got first 'look' at her in the park after we had been placed.

hope that helps
