Rosco,
Congrats again..... I am raising 2 Future (Oct 24,2003) Step Kids and have been for about 6 years now. Even though they are not my own kids biologically, I treat them as they were my own... You will enjoy it..... I just got lucky and found a great woman with great kids ..... AND I met them when they were 2 and almost 5, so I did not get the middle of the night wake-upps and muddy diapers..... They are now 8 & 11 and growing up fast... .
