This group is for the established Step Parent wanting to help, and the new Step Parent wanting to learn (like myself). I don't have all of the answers, but I am organized and resourceful and I will find the best answers for our group. I am looking for topic suggestions and presenters on given topics. We all need a little support from time to …

We moved our family of three to Cary from the Finger Lakes Region of NY in May 2012. We are gentle, attached, semi-crunchy parents to our amazing and active two year old daughter.
