[quote=Anonymous]Depending on the circumstances I think having a stepchild and an adopted Child are two different things. Sometimes with a stepchild maybe it makes a difference if the child's biological parent is still involved in the child's life, and if the stepchild lives with you only part of the time versus full time. If the child's Biological parent is your partner's ex that may make a difference. This is just a generalization and certainly not true in every instance. But in general adopted children are chosen, even longed for, and usually fought for. Their adoptive parents are their only parents (really even in the case of open adoption). I have adopted children in my family and I don't see them or love them any differently than the biological children in my family. I admit I don't have any experience with stepchildren. [/quote]
