A question...

My husband and I are not Jewish, but our adopted child's birthmother's mother (Bgrandma) is. I know that Jewish lineage is passed through the the maternal line, but would my son still be considered Jewish since he was adopted by non-Jews?

I grew up in a Jewish area, dated Jewish guys until I married my husband, my sister married a Jew and converted so Judiasm is not foreign to me. This is part of the reason my son's birthmom chose us. My son has already been to a seder and celebrated hannukah and he is only a year old! But is he Jewish according to Jewish law?
