In most places, adopted children have the same legal rights to inheritance as biological children.

Adoption is a legally recognized process that grants the adopted child the same legal status and rights as a biological child in the eyes of the law.

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.
