I think I am still in the process of mourning my childlessness. I am at the age of no return. I am remarried now, 9 mos, to my wonderful husband. He has 3 boys. One is 22 and out of the house. The other 2 are 17 and 15, and they are God's gift to me. But I get no respect of being their 'step-mom', I give them all my love, time, money, car rides, entertainment fun, and it breaks my heart to see them leave me to see their 'mother', who has decided to return to their lives after ignoring them for the past 4 yrs. This past "Mother's day" was the worst day of my life. I struggle to keep the right perspective. Thank you for your story. Hi Jamie and deana331, I can hear you.

I know if seeing looks on friends faces with new babies in their arms looking at me, avoiding me. Then, almost a decade later have God say, what's your worry? This is the person you are to parent.
