[quote=Anonymous]When I married my DH, we each had two children. The kids were 4, 5, 7, and 11. We have one child together. So a total of five. I remember the day I first saw my stepkids. They were sleeping at my inlaws house. I say this with complete honesty - When I met them, it felt very much like the moment I first held my biological children. I felt instant and overwhelming love for them. We had legal and physical custody of all the kids. I can say without hesitation that I love my stepchildren every bit as much as I do my biological kids. We love all of our children more than life itself. I know my story isn't the same as everyone's. But yes. A stepparent absolutely can love and prioritize their stepchildren the way they do their biological kids. We raised our kids as siblings. We don't use terms like half, step, etc. They are all just our kids. They are all adults now. We have two grandkids. And we feel very, very lucky. [/quote]
