[quote=Anonymous]It's not selfish, per se, but it's also not ideal for your existing kid. I love my half siblings and consider them to be just "siblings" rather than "halfs." However, it was not fun to grow up essentially in someone else's family. I was never treated differently. I loved my step-father. There was no favoritism, but it was just...their family and not totally mine. You may think you can avoid that but you can't. For example, I would get christmas gifts from my paternal grandparents at christmas which would mean that I would have more presents than the other kids. No one really cared, but it made me feel different. Also, I would go visit my father for two weeks every summer. The rest of my family would be doing other things without me. It just felt like I was different.[/quote]
