They are usually single people dating someone or thinking about dating someone who already has a child. They ask me questions that are all over the map. None of which I feel have anything to do with what they really need to be focused on when they are thinking about taking on a blended family.

The biological parents who may or may not be involved in the child’s life will also follow the foundation of the relationship. The key to it all will be the foundation.
