Man faces backlash for bringing non-blood daughter to family event

A man who legally adopted his late wife’s daughter from a previous relationship was asked to watch what sort of family events he brings her to in the future. The man has two children, a son from his first marriage and his late wife’s daughter, Anna. He was invited to his niece’s wedding, which he understood to mean he could bring his kids. However, upon arrival, he was told that Anna was not welcome because the wedding was family-only. The man tried to explain that Anna is his daughter and therefore family, but his sister-in-law insisted that she wasn’t a blood relative. The man left the wedding early with his children. Later, his niece asked him to watch what events he brings Anna to in the future. The man is baffled that his family would even request something like this or be uncomfortable with his non-blood daughter’s presence. Read on for the reactions to this family controversy.
