I too have search the internet for SOON TO BE step parents. I have been dating my soon to be for about a year. We have kept our relationship seperate from the kids thus far.... let me explain before you gasp... their mother is SEVERLY ABUSIVE and we wanted them to finish their counseling sessions before introducing yet another person into their lives. Also, a custody battle for FULL CUSTODY. However, that will end in Feb. We wanted to make sure that they are ok with themselves. Of course we are not getting married right away or even offically engaged until we have time to get to know each other (the kids and I) My stb is a very good man, his children come first and foremost. We are looking for the easiest transition for these kids. I do not want to bring anymore trama to them. They have been through it all. Court battles, counselors who blamed THEM for her actions, and just plain manipulation on the part of their mother. The kids are age 10 and 8. I already love these children for their strength and ability to adjust. I leave them little things at stb house from "the great pumpkin", "uncle sam" and now "santa". I am putting up a chirstmas tree as a surprise next weekend. Should really be a sight to see. My question to you is how do I make this meeting and getting to know each other easy for them. I know that it will not be a bed of roses but I do not want to tramatize them either. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Jacquelyn,
