when i met my girlfriend she had a year old son. i think of him as my very own son these days and love him dearly!
you know then how it feels to have a child that is not your own yet accept them and love them unconditionally. you are awesome!
that is so sweet. i really commend people who treat kids like their own, it is so important for a kid to grow up feeling like they have a lot of people in their corner. i have a stepdaughter myself.
