My child is 13, has dark hair, eyes & olive skin. I have blonde hair/blue eyes. Her biodad is 3/4 Greek 1/4 Jordanian who is not in the picture at all. Her adoptive dad, my husband is brown hair, blue eyes. People ask her quite a lot where she's from or if she's Mexican. We live in the deep South where Mexican/Spanish individuals are looked on in a negative light. I know it's not right but "it is what it is". She is proud to say she's Greek & enjoys reading/studying Greece. Problem is her Daddy, the only Daddy she's ever known, is hurt/not happy about her telling people that because it opens the door to the existence of her biodad I was married to. Once he lost the custody battle he said "she's dead to me" and that was that. He's also not happy with me for ever telling her all about her being Greek. I felt it needed to be said because she even asked ME if she was Mexican! She knows the general story about biodad & that Daddy adopted her. What do you think about this situation? HELP!
