Blended and Non-Traditional Families

Let’s be honest…. parenting is difficult in the most ideal situations, but blending a family can be overwhelming and humbling! But it doesn’t have to be. If done with forethought and planning it can be one of the most rewarding experiences for all involved. Despite how you became a blended or non-traditional family one thing is clear the needs of the children have to be taken into consideration, sometimes above adults needs and desires. Your family is considered a non-traditional family if you came together due to adoption, step-family, foster parenting, guardianship, single parents co-parenting, same gender parenting or other means. You are still a FAMILY, with children to love and raise. The uniqueness of your family is becoming more common yet still requires working out a plan on how to successfully raise the children to a happy and productive adulthood.
