I also agree that you should go for it because I believe that while the issue of acceptance may or may not come into play, how YOU feel for this child will come shining through loud and clear! Not seeing grandma for years at a time and then being given the explanation in a loving and caring way may hurt, yes. But I believe that he/she will be more in appreciation of the efforts you put into to protect them vs. feeling that something is missing or that they were not wanted, especially if you make it clear that they are certainly loved and wanted by you. SO, again, go for it and love this child with all your being!
