Albert told his mom and sister. Neither reaction was what we were expecting. They were both aware of the problems we had been having in trying to conceive, so neither should have been surprised by the announcement. His sister asked, "Well did you try everything else first? As if we had no idea as to what we were doing and why must we try everything else first? I mean, we knew that this is how we wanted to form our family and yet it wasn't good enough for her? I am happy to say that she did finally come around and just adores her little niece today.
Albert's mom was not supportive at all. The first words out of her mouth were, "Don't do it. She'll never love you. You aren't her real parents." Oh yeah, this was going to be an uphill battle for sure. Albert did not back down and proceeded to lambaste her for her small-mindedness. It ended up with him hanging up on her and not speaking to her for several months. I wish I could tell you all that this one ended happily ever after, but it didn't. She has still refused to accept our daughter as her grandchild. She has very limited contact with her for obvious reasons.
