I Am a Mother

Steps Are Mothers Too

Written on September 27th, 2008

I became a stepmother last August, when my fiance moved in with me. We had my 4 year old stepson 50% of the time.

In March, it became official, when I got married.

A week after that, we got full custody. His bio-mom doesn't even have every-other-weekend. She gets him 4 hours per week. Supervised.


I am now a mother. Step or not, I am a mom. I feed him, I bathe him, I read to him, I kiss him good night, I dress him.

    I'm quite jealous that you got to adopt your boy! Congrats!



    The egg donor still has supervised visits, over a year later. My boy doesn't talk about her much. He does love her mom though.

    I hope you are doing well with the step-mom gig. I got my tynan when he was 4.. and we went from shared custody, to supervised visits, to adoption in the first year. I know how stressful it can be to be the "other mother" even if it is also a joy and rewarding.



    Anyways good luck

    That sounds good! Parents are parent's, after all. My father isn't my biological dad - don't know who he is - but I still feel that the man who brought me up is worthy of that title; he'll always be dad/father to me...



    Being a new mum myself recently you kinda realize that...



    Love is what matters...
