When I met the woman who is now my wife, she had a newborn. The wariness of her having a very young son by another guy soon went away as I got to know her. She didn't try to make me the dad, I really can't imagine many single moms would want to try to force that upon a boyfriend. I stayed, and fell in love with her son as I fell in love with her. Before we were married we broke up for a few days, I remember being heartbroken by the thought that her son was out of my life. Now he's 2 and a half, and we have a 10 month old daughter, his half-sister, and I love them both equally.
And now that their mother and I may not stay together, I sure hope I can find someone who doesn't mind that I have a daughter!
