Grandparents, parents, aunts, uncles, siblings, and friends are all impacted when a child or sibling group is adopted into their extended family. While adoptive parents often dedicate significant time to learning about the unique needs of children in the foster care system and the complexities of adoption, extended family members may not have the same level of understanding.
