Meralee,
Your grandmother might surprise you. I expected mine to think single parenthood by choice was a terrible idea, but when I told her she said something to the effect that it's so nice that women are able to raise kids on their own nowadays! Plus she was very excited about having a great grandchild since it would be her first one.
From what I've heard, most family and friends who initially disapprove come around when you get your referral or bring your child home, because now it's a real kid, not just an idea. Family is more difficult but with my friends, if they didn't approve, I would just stop hanging out with them, because I don't need friends who won't support such a big decision.
Best of luck and keep us posted!
:-)
Marianne
