Default adopting my grandaughter how do I explain?

I have had my grandaughter since she was 6 weeks old. Bio mom overdosed her on Tylenol because she did not want to listen to her cry. Bio dad was in prision. She is now 5. She will be going to kindergarden this fall and alot of the people at the school she is going to know her story. She sees bio mom and dad from time to time, but only knows them as people. People from time to time have addressed us as grandma and grandpa but this seems to go right over her head. I have older adopted children but they went through the foster care system and have always known. Has anyone else gone through this? Or any suggestions? Thank you
