[quote=Anonymous]OP, I think you are right to worry. I have not seen any studies, but from my own experience and from hearing/reading about the experiences of others, finding a stepparent who will love your kids as their own is hard. I think that there are some amazing stepparents out there, but I think that there are lots of shitty ones. The majority will be fine, but not comparable to the love and devotion of actual parents. My husband is not perfect, but he loves our children and I doubt that a stranger could love my children as much as DH and I do. The stepparent dynamic is different from adoption. [/quote]
