I've recently found my my childsss grandparents her dad didn't want to know she is now 3yrs old I'm not sure if to send them a letter letting them no they are have a grandchild as I don't think they know she exists as she is technically their first grandchild I'm worried on how they would take this or if the reject her ?? Advice please

Think it through. How much involvement would you want them to have in your lives? They could be very excited and want to see dd every week or they could completely reject her. Are you ready for those extremes? Hopefully they would be somewhere in the middle and your dd could build a loving relationship with them. But chances are it will also bring her dad back on the scene so you'd need to be prepared for that too.

Aw, I would get in touch and see what they say, at least you have done right by your dd then. Thanks
It might not be easy, they will be shocked, too. I have a huge admiration for mums who put themselves out emotionally for their dc, it can't be easy.

Huge respect for you my love it can't be easy.
As a grandma my best advice is take it slowly, and if it's not to be you have done your best for the relationship and of course your dd.
Good luck. x
