I admire people who do-I couldn't- and just can't see it possible that in all the broken relationships around today-that anyone could genuinely love any step child as much as their biological offspring.
Might be wrong but I think it is impossible-and your subconscious will always prevail!!

I would love to say, YES! But, unfortunately I think your right. My 11 year-old daughter has been without her father since she was 11 months old- that is when he passed away and I have been in 2 relationships since then. The 1st man loved her dearly and since his biological children were with their mother he hardly was able to see them and people would say that he loved my daughter more than his own but once we split up he did the exact same thing he did to his own to mine: left with no contact since! My husband now loves my daughter and he has even stated how he does so much more for her than his own 9 year-old girl and I have to admit he has a point but when she is over I can see the difference in the way he treats the two and it breaks my heart...I would have loved to believe that the love was equal but the fact of the matter is NO MAN will ever love your child more than or even as much as their REAL father.

I think i personally would be able too as all children need love just as much as my own child would. This is not impossible at all. If you are not selfish and giving actually it may be quite easy to do so. I have a big heart for children so i think i could actually do this and give my heart to that child just like i would my own child. Loving a child is a choice whether it be your own biological child or not. My husband loves my kids as his own and it is great!

this is a funny question in light of the culture I live in, which says it's impossible to love an adopted child as much as a birth child. Which is absolutly false. I have zero experience with either but have had children in my care whom I love so much I'd die for them, same as my own children.

We adopted a child when she was 1 years old, today she is 7, I love that girl more than life it self, she is my child, I don't look at her any different I love all my 4 kids the same. love is love, no matter where or who the child is.

I adopted a son Jan 31 1989 , he is not even of my color and I love this son like no other, HE IS MY SON. I have children of my own as well and even my son will tell you He knows I love him as much as my biological children. I have God children I would die to protect
a child does not have to be from under your heart to love it
they grow in your heart not under it

I am married and have a child that is not my husbands and he loves her he may not love her as much as he would as his own child but he loves he and cares for her and I think it takes time just like adoption children they are childern and every child needs to be loved.

i think it is possible for people to discover a "new kind of love"... we are always growing in different ways. You develope these natural instincts to protect because they do not know any better. Umm, people who do not have children & whom are independent find it awkward to have a child hugging on them. maybe it's selfeshness maybe it's just not being ready.

YES It is ABSOLUTELY possible.I have two step children and I love both of them as if I were the one that gave birth to them.My husband also loves my child as if she was his own also..If you have love in your heart anything can happen.I worry about people like yourself because you lack general human compassion..

I think it depends on the person. My mother says she could never take in my father's other kids...she doesnt hate them but just doesnt deal with them at all. My brother was married to a woman with 4 kids of her own and he has one...needless to say they are seperated already. I have two step and two of my own and we are good...it was hard but here we are.

I say it is very much possible to love another child as much as your own. My husband and myself started dating when my son was 9 months old and the bond he has with him is just as strong as the bond he has with our two girls. I know he loves him just as much. I also have a very good friend and have her daughter alot. I treat her just like one of my kids and I love her just like one of my kids. I think when you are attached to a child you love them regardless of whos they are.
