» mamaof4boyz1girl - Introduction
Hi everyone! Welcome to "Blended Families" here at Suite101. I am Cynthia.
My parents divorced when I was 12. My father remarried a woman who had 3 children and they later had my 1/2 brother who is 24 years younger than me.
In addition, I was married at 21 and divorced at 24 with a son. I later remarried and had a son and daughter with my current husband of 13 years. We have also adopted two boys.
Introduce yourself, tell us how your family fits into the category of "blended family".

My husband and I have been married for 7 years. My son, from a previous relationship is 9. My husband has been around, as "Uncle Tony",to Tony, until we got married....Now "Dad"...so they have known each other since forever. We added to our family by having a little girl in Sept.00, and later adding another little girl Apr.04. In Nov 05, we made the decision of taking in my husbands niece and nephew, which are almost 10 and 5. They keep us busy. They were not raised, or partially raised, with any morals or values, so we have been trying to instill ours into them. Nothing crazy, just the "Please, Thank you, Yes sir...." Just what I think should be standards. And what a tangled web we weave.

Welcome Lacy!
What a beautiful(emphasis on FULL) family you have! I know how challenging a large, non-traditionally built family can be, but oh the blessings, love and laughter make it so worth the effort, don't you think?
