You are informing them of her existence, not telling them how close to you she is (though you may go on to tell them more about her). | |
| May 22, 2020 at 13:11 | comment | added | FumbleFingers | I think it might help you to consider when and why a native speaker might say I have my daughter. Using a possessive pronoun as the determiner usually implies for one's benefit in some way - as, I have my books [to keep me occupied / entertained]. | |
