Congrats on the adoption of your son!!

My ason is almost a year old, so my experiences are limited, however, I do understand what you are going through.
My son's biograndmother and biogreatgrandmother would LOVE to have a say in everything regarding him. Of course when his biomom could not take care of him or 2 of his sisters the only thing they wanted to say(and did say!) is "how many of these kids can you come and get?"
I have had to put my foot down and let them know that they have no say. I'm lucky though, because our family(the ones that I see and know how they feel) are very supportive of our adoption and know that our son is very loved and taken care of. They would never try and dictate how we raise our children(we have 2 biochildren).
My only advise is to put your foot down and tell them exactly how you feel. That is easier said than done sometimes. Good luck!
