I was adopted by my Grandparents and the worse thing about it was the constant fighting over me...I felt like it was always one side against the other, I was living in a "divorce" situation while at the same time being raised in a two parent home...it wasn't fun. My loyalties were always questioned; there was always a push and shove over where I'd be allowed to go for holidays, etc.
If only they had acted like one big family I probably would have been a much different, and happier, person.
Don't fight with them...this child has more than one Mother, please respect that. And please respect that the other Grandma (the ex) had as much "right" to snap photo's of her Grand-baby as anyone else...you adopting the child does not make it any less her grandchild.
Hope you find away to open your heart, mind and home to you new extended family.
