McKUSICK, Chief Justice.

William and John Haefele and Carol Hae-fele Malmsten, the children by birth of Ann Wilson Haefele Roth, appeal a decision by the Kennebec County Probate Court in favor of Dawn and Catherine Roth and Rosalyn Roth Jean, the adopted children of Ann Wilson Haefele Roth. The Probate Court determined that the adopted children of Mrs. Roth are included in a bequest to “my grandchildren” by the late George Wilson, Mrs. Roth’s father by adoption. Because competent evidence supports the court’s interpretation of George Wilson’s will, we affirm the judgment.
