I adopted my grandson at age 4. He had been in my custody since 18 months. He still sees his mother regularly and talks with his father on the phone several times a week. So far, he still calls me "Grandma" and I haven't explained the adoption. It did not "change" anything as far as he could tell. I made the paperwork changes -- pediatrician, school, insurance, etc. -- but we don't intend to explain to him until he is old enough to read a birth certificate and ask questions.
