Becoming a stepparent is a huge life moment, and I hear it can be an exciting, emotional, and challenging journey. You are an amazing, loving, and kind human and [Stepchild] is lucky to have you in their life. I'm always here to listen when you need to vent during this life transition. [Stepchild] is a fantastic kiddo and I'm so excited to hear all about your adventures together. You're going to kill it at this step-parenting gig and I'm so proud of you.
