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

Reminding me about innocence.
It has improved my ability to teach adults: sometimes a question is just a question and you can't assume why someone is asking it or even what they mean. He has re-taught me that even most adults don't have an evil agenda.
It reminds me to be kinder and more open to all.
OMG, just noticed my saying at the very end is wrong! Should say, I am NOT your bio mom. Ugh.

24/7 kid minus 9 months of being enormous and having a fetus kicking my organs, hours of excruciating labor, possible incontinence, the screaming infant stage, or stretch marks. Also my boobs are still where they started out :). So - having a kid but not having to ever deal with the physical part of having a kid if I choose not to go that route. Also having the option of getting the experience of raising a child but being done with raising children by my mid thirties if I want. I never really considered having my own children until I began raising ss and still don't know if its for me so its like I can kind of have my cake and eat it too if I want.
