Ron: Yes, you’re part of a blended family.

Announcer: For FamilyLife Blended®, here’s Ron Deal.

Ron: Sometimes it’s hard to recognize reality when it’s all you know. If you were born in the last twenty years, you can’t imagine not having Google, and you don’t know what a phone book is. I meet lots of people who are part of a blended family or stepfamily, but to them, it’s just family. One woman had two stepdads, a stepmom and many stepsibilings, and then married a man who isn’t the father of her child, and she never realized she was part of a blended family.

Hey, 62% of couples under 55 have a stepparent or stepchild. You may be one of them. It’s okay. And, yes, you’re part of a blended family. Find your tribe at FamilyLifeBlended.com. I’m Ron Deal.
