Stepfamilies

So you're a stepfamily now.  Well, have you discovered that your family doesn't much
resemble the Brady Bunch?  If so, you're not alone.   Combining two families into one
is almost always a real challenge!  But the payoffs of persevering can be great.  And
the good news is that you don't have to reinvent the wheel here.  You can draw upon
the experience, wisdom and support of other people that have walked, or are now
walking, the same road you are on.  
Here are some valuable resources that you can take advantage of:
