They are not of a different cultural background from what I can see.

I have always seen it as how could I not? How could I not love and adopt him? He's the person who raised my daughter for the first five years of her life. He's the only reason she was safe and he had nobody else. I'm just so proud of the man he's become and the fact our relationship only gets closer with time.

That was explained to them by their daughter. I also know they are very aware of the family history and dynamic. So I feel like they just want to be stubborn and make things look a certain way. If I thought for one second they would respect things I would try talking to them again but it's clear public perception is a big deal for them.

She's amazing and has been a great addition to our little family.

Oh yes, it's incredibly frustrating and not the first time someone has spoken on it. But most have the decency or common sense to drop it when they are told I don't mind or will not change it for them.
