Dear Valued Users,
It's with a heavy heart that we announce the permanent closure of StepTalk.org on August 31st, 2025.
This decision wasn't an easy one. For over twenty years, StepTalk has been a source of support for stepparents around the world! However, over the years, the costs associated with maintaining and upgrading the site to remain secure, meet current standards and maintain availability have become unsustainable.
We are incredibly grateful for your support, contributions and the community you've helped us build. Your engagement has made StepTalk.org a special place and we cherish the memories and connections made here.
We would especially like to thank Aniki for volunteering to be a moderator and for caring so much.
Thank you for being a part of our journey and we wish you all the best.
Sincerely,
Dawn and The StepTalk Team

My dear Ani,
My dear Ani,
You have so much love to give and are such a fine person (no blushes, please, as I speak the truth) that you will shine as a granny. Hon, it's a definite win-win. Please congratulate Mr. Aniki on my behalf. ♥️
I have 2 step-grandsons who bring me such joy; they are charming, well-behaved and blessed with the same, quirky sense of humour as their 'Papa' (my DH). Enjoy the early years since it’s all too true that they whiz by. I can hardly believe that my boys are in their teens!
Thank you so much, grannyd!!!
Thank you so much, grannyd!!! XOXO
