Since this is the adoption category I assume you mean not the biological grandchildren but foster kids who have never been adopted. And no, they have no right at all to anything their foster family leaves behind unless they are mentioned in the will. If you mean biological children they inherit their parents who in their turn inherit their parents, your grandparents. So unless the grandchild is mentioned in the will or the parents are deceased, the grandchild will not inherit the grandparents.

Each state has its own laws regarding this issue. Generally, a child can be disinherited by will but some states require the child to be specifically mentioned in the will or the court will assume the child was forgotten and award a share of the estate. You should consult an attorney in your area who can review the will and determine what your options are, if any.
