I'm Phyl. I have 5 , one I adopted ,as I raised him since he was 8 months old. they are all older now. I have 2 DD's that are young adults .

All my step kids lived with me at one time or another. Being apart of raising 7 kids is awesome

i am Kristi. I have 3 boys 9, 6, and 2 and have a beautiful stepdaughter who is 17. I have always wanted a daughter and she has been great. In the recent months though, she has barely even noticed my DH and I are alive.. i think we're out of the picture for a while

maria - 1 9 yr old stepson and 1 9 month old son with dh...we have shared custody though he lives w/birthmom...live's fun at times

My name is Stacey- My Dh and I have one DS who is almost 3 and a baby on the way ...I also have an almost 11yo step daughter who I have been in her life since she was 4 months old-(My DH was not married to her bio-mom) Unfortunately, after my DS was born, her bio mom did whatever she could possibly do to sabotage our relationship with her (bio mom, was never supportive of her relationship with my DH, but their bond was strong enough, until this)...We miss her a lot, and although she doesnt come for her scheduled visits anymore, we speak to her on the phone and write to her all the time, in the hopes that she will come around and want to be a regualr part of our family again...We also keep her picture everywhere and tell my DS about her all the time (she got to know him until he was just about a year old)Parental alienation at its worst

Hi...Im Heather

DH and I got married in August of 06. Between the 2 of us we have 5 girls...

Ariel 14, Lexi & Jaedyn 9..are my daughters from a previous relationship.

Kayleigh 10 & Trista 5 are DHs daughters from a previous relationship.

Together we have Caden who will be a year old on the 20th...

Generally speaking our blended family works very well...but of course we have our interesting events every now and again..

Im Toni ,
I am a step mom to DH boys.
One is 8 & the other is 15..
We are working on TTC between us to as well..

Hi! I'm new to this whole LIF thing and I was happy to see this board!

I'm Kristen and I have an 8 year old step daughter. She is supposed to live with her mom primarily but she's with us almost daily.

Hi.. I'm Chastity...I've been with DH for 6 years. We have a 4 month old together and I have a 11 year old step-daughter that I love and adore. I am fortunate and blessed to have a wonderful relationship with her mother.

What I am probably going to need help with is the new phase she is going through...you know the emotional, crankiness, attitude that comes with the changes in her body.....even through that she is the most kind-hearted, loving, attentive, helpful daughter I can ever ask for
