[quote=Anonymous]How do you make decisions for your bio-DC and who makes them? Is your bio-DC's father still in the picture (or is DC a child of this marriage?)? And how long ago did SDCs mother pass away. Also, out of curiosity, how old are all the kids? This is such a hard dynamic and I am sorry you are going through this. It sounds like your heart and intentions are in the right place but these things are tough and there is rarely a "right" answer - just what works for your family. You and DH may want to consider counseling for how you approach these things as a whole, but I think how things are handled for your bio-DC may have some impact generally on this. I also do think younger siblings do get taken along for the ride to accommodate older siblings activities in a lot of families and I don't always think it's a bad thing but in your case the dynamic as a whole is what is relevant and of concern.[/quote]
