[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^ Also, are the adopted child's grandparents going to be providing the same amount of financial support to all your children? 
Or just the adopted child?

Like college costs, inheritance, etc.

Because in the family I know of the AC's biological grandparents have set up a college fund for the AC, not the other children in the family.

They feel it is up to the other grandparents to provide for those children financially as they can't afford to do it for all of them. [/quote]
I have not heard about grandparents providing financial support to grandchildren.
Adoptive parents should not be expecting financial support from the birth family. They are financially responsible for the baby [/quote]

Try to exercise some critical thinking. Or perhaps this is an AI-generated response?

First, just because YOU are not personally aware of financial issues related to extended family doesn't mean they don't exist.

Second, since open adoption is relatively new culturally, issues related to adopted and biological families' education and estate planning are just coming to the forefront.

As we know first-hand, the adopted child's grandparents have assets they will set aside for the child's education and undoubtedly inheritance. They will NOT be doing the same for this child's siblings in the family who are not biologically related.

If that isn't a fertile ground for resentment and a family rift I don't know what is.
