Deal with your parent's in a positive manner, it will be a hard concept for them to get used to but Sister within time they will Insha'Allah (God willing) come to the idea.
Talk to them, explain you still are the same person, not anyone else.
I hope Allah (swt) makes things easy for you.

To tell you the truth, your parents will love you no matter what, even if they show you otherwise, that's why they call it unconditional love, and most probably, they did that to make you convert back to Christianity...but don't...stay strong and stick to your guns
parents have become too old to accept change, that's why it's easier for kids to adapt and learn new things...i dont really think your parents will ever change their opinion, but maybe you can try to contact them..if they don't reply, then at least you did your part
as for your sister, then she's still just 15 and she probably misses you, but doesn't want to upset her parents, so give hr time and if she loves you, which she probably does, she'll find a way to communicate with you again...just dont jump to conclusions with her, she might have her reasons
As long as you know that what you're doing is right, then it doesn't matter--just be satisfied
no matter what, dont forget your parents--they did raise you up after all
nd btw, good luck in your life..and hope all goes well

You can't "make" someone accept you.
Part of this depends on their reason for objecting to your conversion. If you have wrong ideas about Islam, then trying to sit down and talk about those misunderstandings may do the trick.
However, if they are simply objecting to you not being a Christian, there's unfortunately not a lot you can do. They have made a choice to not associate with non-Christians, and you're now in that category. Some choices - even very good choices - come with hard consequences.

If your parents were true Christians, they would accept you as you are and love you no matter what. Since they reject you for what you choose to believe, they are not true Christians. Sometimes we have to just accept the results of our decisions and step out in faith anyway and give up those that do not accept us. If there is any love there for you, they will eventually come around so just keep in prayer about it and let God do the changing. I had the same thing happen to me when I made a step of faith and now I have a good relationship with my mother who was the one that rejected me.

Sweetie I am so sorry, The sad news is you can't make your parents do anything, sometimes we have to let things go, I do not mean let them go forever but maybe just for a time. As a human you have the right to worship or not worship the way you choose, no matter who does not like it. They may come around and they may not. Just live your life and never let them see that their actions are upsetting you. Be bless in what you choose.

Firstly try and and explain the similarities between Islam and Christianity,ie, belief in One God, Belief in the Prophet Jesus, belief in the hereafter,etc.Then encourage them to research the Islamic faith, they might not have a clear understanding about Islam. You must understand this must be very difficult for them, but remember they love you and they will accept you in the end, but it may take time.

Well what i would do. Is explain to them, why you chose a different beleif then theirs.
I would also ask them to sit down, and ask them why they feel about the islam, belief.
Listen to what they have to say.
Their your parents. Just put both beliefs on the table. and see what the diference is. Ask them to explain theirs, and then wait your turn.
Do not try to fight with them. It would only make it harder. Hear them out. And then ask them the same. And don't try and push your belief on them. And do not get mad at them.

Parents are those whom support your interests. That doesn't have to be your birthparents.
Your parents being Christians will possebly never forgive you (unless you go back into the fold and become their good little girl again)
Take comfort in your new life, and if your little sister breaks out from the christian claws, recieve her with compassion.

I am sure they accept you as you are. But rejecting Jesus Christ, the Son of the Living God & turning to Islam will steal the salvation Jesus provided for you on the cross of Calvery. And steal from you the Resurrection & heaven.
Islam isn't the Way, the Truth & the Life. It isn't the way to the Father God. Jesus Christ Is.
http://www.fathersloveletter.com . Repent to God & turn back to Jesus Christ. Then Jesus will give you a big hug & there will be rejoicing in the heavens. Then that is what is important. The family is ostracizing you so you will see the error of your ways. If your family is true Christians. If they aren't true Christians, then they will ostracize you for turning to faith in Christ & His redeeming blood, also.

Well, if you were in an Islam country and converting to Christianity, you would be killed.
Just be glad it's the other way around.
