I am adopted(as are my two older brothers but they have different parents as well) but I have found that when people ask if my parents are my "real" parents, well, though we aren't blood related, of course they are my "real parents". No one other than them raised me to be who I am today and I wouldn't have it any other way. I feel like there is ignorance in not accepting that you can be a parent to a child that isn't biologically yours or possibly has multiple parents, but It's so sweet to see you mention without question that of course you will love him with every fiber and do your best to help raise him. Love it. And this is how we find family in our friends, too. Congratulations, you will make an adorable little fam!<br />Delaney<br />xxOur Sophisticated Planethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03652580342472050070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8840382153011642380.post-22067454149256466762012-03-05T22:23:06.546-06:002012-03-05T22:23:06.546-06:00Wow wow wow!

Toby is so so lucky to have you guys! All a kid needs include just three things: stability, safety, and LOVE. Looks like he'll get an abundance of all three with you :)<br /><br />If you're ever needing a listening ear or confirmation about crazy childhood development/parenting/relationship stuff, you can definitely email me!Karahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01824646552783401432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8840382153011642380.post-36213313011012369072012-03-05T15:59:10.581-06:002012-03-05T15:59:10.581-06:00I am so so SO happy for you!

I can't imagine how tough it would be to suddenly be a parent to a three year old, but it sounds exciting at the same time.You really are so wonderful, and I know that you both are going to make the perfect parents. I can just feel the love in your words. <br /><br />xo AshleyAshley, Lions Lace Latteshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11624318880246251448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8840382153011642380.post-67949194029679778942012-03-03T23:25:45.617-06:002012-03-03T23:25:45.617-06:00Congratulations!

My BF and I both have siblings as a result of difficult deaths with extended family - and to be honest, we both call them our family. Family is what you make it. I don't care whether or not I am 100% related to my brothers in a traditional manner - they are my brothers - always have been and always will be. Nothing will every change that... <br />This time is going to be so much fun for all of you :)<br /><br />Again, congrats!cleanupnicelyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15304478237398040421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8840382153011642380.post-49850076708376611782012-03-03T17:19:01.849-06:002012-03-03T17:19:01.849-06:00I'm tearing up reading this.

This is such a huge, wonderful thing! I completely understand that it's scary (I can't even imagine suddenly beind in charge of a toddler!) but I'm sure you are going to do a fantastic job. Every kid deserves a comfortable, loving home and I just know you guys will give Toby that, and so much more! Also, I am so sorry that people have ever made comments about you "not being his mom". There is no doubt in my mind that a step parent can love a child as their very own. Families come in all shapes! Wishing your little family all the love and happiness in the world :)<br /><br />Katie xAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8840382153011642380.post-60961823681479265832012-03-02T19:19:08.242-06:002012-03-02T19:19:08.242-06:00he is one lucky boy! you will do great!he is one lucky boy! you will do great!Sammyzeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15697609007427885373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8840382153011642380.post-7906705454184776522012-03-02T11:42:25.857-06:002012-03-02T11:42:25.857-06:00Congratulations to you and Mike on this happy even...Congratulations to you and Mike on this happy event! I know what it's like.

That's normal and you will be a great step-momma. Don't let people's negative comments get to you. You ARE his step-mom and don't let people tell you different.

How exciting for you and for Mike! I haven't been a reader long enough to know about Toby before now and I just want to express how happy that I am for you. You are going to need support to adjust to mommy-mode, believe me. If you're interested, I know that you would be a delightful addition to StepMom Magazine. Please check it out... it's a private, invaluable resource to stepmoms and bonus moms. (I promise they don't pay me, I'm just a real life user that has benefited three-hundred-fold from the support available there in the forums and the monthly issues.) - I would even be willing to gift you with a free month, paid for, because it's that much worth it. <br /><br />I am a bonus for two stepsons from my husband's previous relationships and I blog around, if not about, this sometimes. I'm digging deeper into tackling the bigger issues as our situation settles down. <br /><br />I'm happy for Toby. Children need their fathers just as much or more than their mothers. It's been studied scientifically. I am thinking only positive thoughts for your family as you blend and meld together after the time apart that I know was hard for you all, but especially for Toby. I wish for healing because there is always some in a break. Mostly, I wish for your happiness (all of you) in your transition. <br /><br />Much love, seriously. <br /><br />Laurel Ann<br />http://one-girl-vs-world.blogspot.comLaurel Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11960572719595390089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8840382153011642380.post-15381044092239966452012-03-02T07:25:32.883-06:002012-03-02T07:25:32.883-06:00Oh that's so fantastic!!
