My parents did the same thing for my niece, for basically the same reason. It’s been almost a year since it became official but she has lived with them for going on 4 years now. I think you’re overthinking. I ask my mom often if it feels like she’s gone 20 years back in time 
you could possibly be saving your grandson’s life

Long story, but parental drug addiction is the cause. Was wondering if anyone here has any experience dealing with the reactions, teasing, cruel comments, etc. that he may experience in school? I'm just trying to put myself in his shoes and learn more on how I can help him deal with any of the negative aspects he may encounter at school? Or maybe I'm just overthinking this and everything will be fine for him?
First of all, God Bless you. It’s going to be darn near impossible to avoid the drama coming your way. Trying and shield the kid. Both good and bad times coming your way but the best will outweigh the first. Get him involved in church or at a minimum get God in his life if you don’t have good church options where you are.

My sister did this due to the same reason, her granddaughter turned out fine and just started college.
Now the kid's dumb arse mother has four more she can barely feed and keep a roof over, if not for welfare my sister would be raising them

Great thing you are doing. You have changed a life forever. I have an adopted 6 year old. You wouldn't believe the comments I get about being his grandfather. ( I am 61). No big deal anymore. We also adopted another one 10 years ago(now 16).She has had her issues, but I am confident she would be dead now if we hadnt taken her in back then. There are days that I come home and just want to sit down, but end up outside playing ball, etc. It definitely keeps me Young.
Nice job on the other posters giving those kids a better shot at life..

Not familiar but I would encourage you to think about a small private school near where you live. They seem less “clicky” and more likely to be supportive.

Good for you for giving the kid hope for a future. I hope his parents get the help they need so they can be involved in his life in the future

All I can say is do what you know is best for your grandson. It really isn't a hard choice when you look at it that way. It is truly stunning the number of grandparents raising grandchildren now. God bless you and Mama Farad!

You Sir are doing a great thing!
As mentioned grandparents raising a child no longer a big deal. Good luck.

At 13 it’s not like you guys will be at school all the time. I don’t see why a ton of kids would even have to know. My dad was in his 40s when my brother and I were born. Made absolutely zero difference in our lives. Also bless you for caring so much and giving him a much better shake in life.

I teach middle school and the kids don’t really know a lot of what’s going on outside of school unless they live in close vicinity or relatives also go to the school, etc. We have many, many families with this same situation, and these kids have friends and seem to enjoy school. I have never heard a kid teasing another for their home situation, and I have heard a lot. Very honorable of you to give your grandson the best life.

My brother was adopted. I don’t really remember any issues, other than the ones he created himself. Looking for pity & poor me because his mom was a dope whore. People handle things differently, but his life was much much better than it could’ve been & he never could wrap his head around that. Still can’t get right at 40.

Honestly the kids probably won't notice until close to high school age. If they do bully, because kids will bully about anything, it won't be much.
