Step-parenting adopted child with 50/50 shared care arrangement

[Thea1305]

Looking to connect with anyone who may be in a similar position to me.. Being a step-parent, sharing custody 50/50, and parenting an adopted child is all new to me and while I can find posts/ articles on the challenges of each of these 3 circumstances separately (and thankfully do have therapy which helps), I have been unable to find anything / anyone with experience of managing shared care and step-parenting an adopted child.. and would love to connect with anyone in the same/ similar boats..

My best advice would be to join a Facebook group called therapeutic parenting. It has 1000s of members from all around the world with a diverse range of experiences. There are adopters, foster carers, step parents, relatives looking after children as kinship carers and special guardians as well as people raising their own birth children. Some members were also the child in these situations at one point.
