Follow your heart I would suggest you follow your heart. Not sure on the ages, as that has a lot to do with it. Also the interaction with the biological mom and her attitudes come into play.

One thing to read up on is about being a foster parent. As you will be going thru a lot of the same things we foster parents do. As well as a lot of the same acting out behaviors the kids show will be the same as well.

Lots of Love and attention is needed. Spend time snuggled up watching tv/movies (even for the 9-12 yr old boys too) and lots of hugs, reading, legos and bonding activites. Hope this helps.

Good Luck and send a message if I can help more. Sources: My experiences as a single foster/adopting dad.

You're certainly find these tips useful. Link below. Becoming a step-mom is a scary prospect.

I grew up in a divided home, my mom being the step-mom. She was rarely looked on in a favorable light by my step-brother and step-sister, but she did the best she knew how. I never imagined myself to become a step-mom.

Actually I was quite convinced that I would never marry a man who had kids. I just didn't want the drama. But, all that changed one day when I met my now husband and his four year old son.

I knew right away that I could love this man and his child. When I met Dean he was four, cute as a bug, and had a huge imagination. He was not your typical four year old who threw fits and didn't like to share.

Infact, he loved to share and was the best mannered kid I'd ever been around. Today he is thirteen and not much has changed. People keep warning me about the teens,but so far he is still the same sweet kid.

Oh now he likes to pour on the cologne and is quite a pest, but other than that a really good kid. I know that it isn't always possible to have the greatest relationships with your step-children or step-parents. But for those of you who could have a better relationship and just haven't taken the time, here are a few things I have learned a long the way.

I am sure I'll be adding on to these things as the years continue and I continue to learn more. For the tips check the site below. Hope that helped somehow.

I'm a step mother too I'm 21 years old married to a 35 year old man with a 10 month old daughter of our own. I'm the step mom to his 4 kids from his previous marriage. I am only 7 years older than his oldest daughter and yes to many people age is a big thing with your spouse but me and my husband are very much in love and it works.

S oldest daughter is hitting the teen years hard, already tried to run away and crazy about boys. I just always tell her she can talk to me about anything but I never make the promise not to tell her parents even though I don't like her mother I respect her enough to tell her whats going on with her kids. The girl always talks to me before she talks to anybody still knowing that I will likely tell her parents.

The other kids ages are 11 girl, 10 boy, 9 boy. The boys call me mom even though none of these kids live with me or thier father. The youngest girl connected with me by me giving her makeovers and her giving them to me when we first met.

I always told all 4 of them I loved them and I would always be there for them but I didn't want to try to take the place of their mother. I would just try to bond with them through things they enjoy. I bonded with the boys because we took them fishing.It worked and they opened right up to me.

It is different loving your step kids compared to your own but it can be done. I would kill for those kids and I cry half the time when they do because they miss us and we miss them. But just a word of warning.

If the ex of your step kids is anything like my husbands ex be prepared to only see the kids when she will let you or only on your visitation days. Hopefully you don't have to do this and they'll be living with you. Just be yourself and they love you because obviously you care enough to find information and that shows love already.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
