Step parenting is a journey. You don't have to walk it alone.

Step parenting changed how I think about family, identity, and love - about the legacy I would shape and leave behind. It also made the legal side of my work more personal. I started Step Into Love as a resource for anybody who needs some insight because the families I meet, professionally and personally, kept asking the same questions about their own step-family situations and finding very few honest answers.

This is not a legal advice page. It is the part of my life's work that lives next to it.  This is a place to share what I have learned, what other step parents have lived through, and the resources that actually helped me on my journey.  This is your chance to learn, engage, discuss, and let's talk about it, honestly, openly.   

The heart of this content for me is love for our children - every one of them, whether they are yours by birth or not, deserves to be loved and have a childhood built in a safe and secure home. This childhood can be more amazing if you are prepared for the step-parenting journey. Come along, learn and share, and create your family's legacy of Love.

Loving a child who didn't start with you is one of the bravest things a person can choose. It deserves more than guesswork.
