Ron: Just how far would you go to care for one of your children?

Announcer: For FamilyLife Blended®, here’s Ron Deal.

Ron: I know how far I’d go. As far as it took that’s how far and you would, too. We all would. But here is a question. Do you think a stepparent would go that far? I’m mean it’s not their kid, right?

Recently I heard about a stepdad who plans to climb Mt. Everest to raise money to pay for his stepdaughter’s leukemia treatment. You know, despite all the negative stereotypes my more than two decades of working with stepfamilies tells me that the vast majority of stepparents would climb the highest mountain to care for their stepchildren. If that inspires you like it does me, tell the stepparents you know, “Thank you.” For FamilyLife Blended I’m Ron Deal.
