Readers Share the Best Things About Being Part of a Blended Family

I’m proud to belong to two incredible stepparents who each call me daughter.

I imagine it must have been difficult for my stepparents to walk the hopeful tightrope into my life as part parent and part friend, but fortunately my story is a happy one. My stepmom and stepdad are two of the most important people in my life.
