Hello Rebekah ! :D

My advice is that you continue being you. Keep your focus on making wise decisions loving yourself and your family.

Keep showing them that God love, the love that doesn't see our blood or our works, but only sees us as His awesome wonderful kids with Jesus potential.

I kind of have the same situation just a little different my sons father left us when I was 7 months pregnant and after four years I met the man i truly believe God had ment to be my sons father they have this bond that is so close it makes me cry just to think about how blessed we both are I know my husband does not see any difference if he had made him from his own body he's the one who tucks him in at night and reads to him and cuddles on the couch with waltching pokemon and hes called parents of kids who have hurt our sons feelings he never says my step son and has said I dont know if he wanted anymore kids because he was afaid our son would always be his favorite just like moms think when the have one and are thinking of 2 it's cute how much they are alike most people think he is his bio dad becuase of how they act just alike in my heart I know that as hard as my life was when his real dad walked out that God had a plan and knew a man who would take care of us and cherish us both that would never care about that real dad step dad stuff and yes his bio dad is way jeaslous but I just think hes the one that left and left that role for someone to fill so it should no surprise that someone loves his son if it were reversed I would be thankful that he was blessed with a father figure with one more person to love him and that would protect him with all he has

Quoting Christy:

Insecurity that you will replace her in their lives and hearts - every mother's worst fear is the loss of a child in any way. Pray for patience and understanding and let God handle it.

We have a similar situation with my daughter. In fact, my husband does not introduce our daughter as his "step" and they are really close. He's always made sure that she knows she is his daughter, if not by blood, by the heart.

Some people cannot understand true love, in any form. They have difficulty grasping that you can love these children who are not yours. Oddly enough, a lot of those people won't question adoptions. I never understood that.

But maybe next time someone asks, gently ask them what they would think if you had adopted them instead? That might make them stop and think. Also, you can tell them that God led you to them, these children of your heart and you consider them blessings from Him as much as you do your natural-born children.
