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

I'm so sorry for your
I'm so sorry for your feelings. I have 3 bio kids and my dh has 3 bio kids. However when we first got together he had his youngest bio and I had lost custody of my 3. I had to take care of this other kid for a long time and had mine eow. I think those were the hardest years of my life but now I have full custody. So now we have 3 teenagers in the house ( 3 are now adults!) and some days I wonder if my sanity is still intact! haha. I would say that if you are able to have at least 1 child together with your SO it would make you feel more part of the whole. If you are not able to, maybe adopt? There are always so many emotions to this whole step family enviromant.
