I do have to wonder what these people have to say to the countless adopted children out there. All the ones that are now in good, loving homes. I’d love to see them go up to a friend of mine and try to tell her the kid she fought so hard to adopt and loves with all her heart isn’t hers just because she didn’t give birth to him.

Wow... all I can say is wow... You sat your child, who you claim to love, down and blatantly threatened her with stealing her child from her because you don’t agree with her lifestyle. The hatred there is alarming. Having been in a similar situation with my own family, I feel I should let you know what exactly your daughter felt when you told her that.
It’s hard to put into words the soul wrenching agony such statements from a parent put a child through, but I will attempt to explain. Imagine a white hot knife, the largest knife you’ve ever held. Now, imagine someone stabbing you with that blade, then twisting it violently before ripping it out. That’s what it feels like to a child every time they hear ‘I love you, but not what you do.’ What those words really mean is ‘I love you, even though you’re not good enough for me.’ I can only imagine that such an outright threat would be even worse. You celebrate your daughter not having children, I would bet your daughter cries that her parents would make such a hate filled statement to her.
