[quote=Anonymous]I have 3 step kids and one child; I refer to them all as my kids. I love them all equally, although since each is a unique person, I love them all differently. And I love them even when they don't love me back. I have made significant sacrifices, including some that have a direct effect on our youngest, to deal with special needs (unbeknownst to any of us when we got married) of one of our older children. I think step families can work in lots of ways, but my life is much richer--and much, much harder--for fully embracing them, and I am grateful every day that they have returned the sentiment. It's not perfect, by any means. One of our kids is in meltdown rebellion right now. But I don't act differently depending upon the legal relationship. [/quote]
