- Before having a biological child, I was a stepmom to twin girls.
- Being a stepparent can be hard, especially because there are so many negative stereotypes.
- Being a stepmom and a biological mom is different, but they are both important roles.
I used to lie in bed with my stepdaughters, rubbing their backs as they drifted to sleep, feeling the delicate ridges of their spines through their pajamas.
