Today, my husband and I told my parents that I finally managed to conceive. My mom burst into tears of joy and said how great it was that she's finally going to be a "real" grandma, all within earshot of our adopted and now-devastated daughter. FML

Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I overheard my mother-in-law say to her daughter "I can't wait for you to make me a real grandma." I'm pregnant with their first grandchild. FML
Today, I finally decided to tell my mother, a former Miss North Carolina winner, that I was several weeks pregnant. She immediately burst into tears and hugged me. She kept saying, "Thank god, thank god." At first I was relieved. Then she said, "I thought you were just getting fat." FML

Today, my son had a child to spite his ex and ex-stepson. He was holding his daughter in his arms in the delivery room when he told me that now I can stop visiting his ex-stepson and pretending he’s my real grandchild, because now I have a real granddaughter. I’m speechless. FML
Today, after years of trying, I got the wonderful news that my husband is going to be a father. Too bad I’m not the mother. FML

Your daughter should cheer up! You can't choose your mother but she was chosen by you :)

She'll never look at her grandma the same, poor girl.

Being adopted doesn't make her any less your daughter or any less part of the family. I'm sorry your mother seems to think otherwise, OP, but I'm very glad your daughter has a parent who recognizes that opinion as wrong.

OK I know this is a happy time for you all, and I know it's your mother but I hope you have her a serve for saying that. You gotta stand up for your daughter, and show that she is YOUR daughter.

This isn't just bad because the daughter found out that she was adopted, it's bad because her grandma openly admitted that she didn't feel like a "real" grandmother just because her granddaughter isn't biologically related to her. The grandma is also sort of inferring that she will favor the biological grandchild over her adopted granddaughter just for this reason.
