If you loved your partner and they had a child / children, would you be able to accept them as your own?

Personally I could. I'm a foster parent rather than a biological parent, through choice, so I find it very easy myself!
I'm sure it would take some time, and I guess step children are a little bit different because they may likely have a mother/father in their lives already.
But as far as I'm concerned, flesh and blood means absolutely nothing compared to heart and soul.

Hi,
Yes, every child in this world needs someone to look up
to, to care, to be an inspiration, to be a motivator, to be a
provider, but most of all, to give them what they need the
most, Love. Children that grow up to be criminals come
from broken homes where Love was lacking, and were
probaly exposed to violence. It is in these situations were
if you met someone that you loved and had a child, that
would be an honorable thing to look after their children.
That in itself is not easy, but the rewards would be great
if by chance that child, whether male or female, would
grow up to be a Great Leader, or Scientist, Writer, etc.,
under your care.

Yes you can, My husband and I have no children together. But we have 4 children. He loves my children as his own and I love his daughter as my own.
My step daughter (only refer her to this here not in my home she is my daughter) Has been with me since she was 14 months and we just celebrated her 8 birthday at the end of august. It was easy loving her , it made parenting her a little harder becasue you have to know bounderies when they dont live with you and they have another parent with different views ect.
In my opionion to be able to completely love your mate, you would have to accept his child/children to completely say you love him or her. I am not saying the road is easy and that there may not be road blocks throught the journey but it is worth them all.

I think it depends on the person, but I think most people would love to be able to bond with that child and form a lasting relationship. I am recently married and I brought my 9 yr old daughter to the marriage and from the first moment they met my daughter and he connected. I can remember the night he proposed to me he had told me how much he loved me and how he was so grateful that I was sharing my daughter with him and how much he loved her and wanted us to be a family. That was one of the best moments of my life.
Personally yes I would be able to love someone else child as my own!

My bf has a two year old and we are expecting our first in December. I love his son and have found no problems in accepting him as my own and caring for him as my own. Its because of the fact that I love my bf and his son that our relationship is on such stable ground. I also know that sometimes it seems hard to accept another's child but if it means having a good relationship with their father it is worth it to make the effort. Besides, its not the child's fault that their parents arent together and they deserve the most loving and caring home regardless of who their father is with.

Well I have three stepchildren and love them all as my own. When I got together with my wife they were part of the package and although I will not so it is easy, especially if the children are older were acceptance is hard for them, it is worth it.

Absolutely, blood has nothing to do with being a loving parent. Love that little one like your own because you are his mother now. Blood does not make a mother, love and guidance do.

YES! And I do!
My husband has a 5 1/2 yr old son, and I love that lil' boy as if he were my own. I would fight and die for him if I had to. He's just the sweetest lil' boy in the world. :)
