Unlike biological parents, who age and grow alongside their children, stepparents choose to join an already established family. Blended families typically face a variety of challenges while attempting to dwell under the same roof. A stepparent-stepchild connection might take years to develop, but it may grow as strong as the tie with an actual parent, or even more.

Many people have expressed their unique stepparenting bond on the internet and we, at Bright Side, stumbled upon a few pics that made our hearts overflow with all the positive feelings.

1. “Just trying to be the best stepdad I can to this little girl.”

2. “For the first time in her life, my 8-year-old stepdaughter asked to stay up late to watch the game with me.”

“This is what dad’s dreams are made of.”

3. “I love being a stepdad! Here she is helping me ’drive to the store.’”

4. “It’s my birthday today and I don’t even care. I just miss my stepdad.”

5. “My stepson is special needs and is starting school right after Christmas.”

“Today he picked out a yellow folder, so I decided to make it special for him.”

6. “My fiancé ’proposed’ to my daughter to ask if she’d be his stepdaughter.”

7. “My oldest stepdaughter got married. It was a great honor, as she wanted me to walk her down the aisle along with her father.”

8. “We had my stepdad dress up as Santa since we couldn’t visit him at a mall this year.”

9. “My stepdad and I got matching clothes for Christmas.”

10. “My stepdad raised my autistic sister and me as if we were his own blood.”
