Research
The purpose of research is to learn about a subject and use your findings to benefit the individuals most affected by the subject you are researching, in this case Life in a Stepfamily or Blended Family. Quite simply put, that is the vision for any research we will embark on at The Step and Blended Family Institute.
Stepfamily Stories – Blended Family Stories – YOUR STORIES
Our research efforts at this time are focused on collecting Family Stories. We have asked families, or individuals living in stepfamilies or blended families, to submit their stories, their struggles, their triumphs. We'd love to hear just about anything you would like to tell us about your experience because it may be invaluable to someone else on their journey through stepfamily life. It certainly doesn't have to be a success story. Anyone struggling would benefit just as much or more from hearing about the struggles of others and will most definitely find much comfort in knowing that they're not alone.
Please submit your stories to us and indicate if we can share these with others. If you would like to remain anonymous we completely respect that, and would still be interested in anything you have to share with us. We will compile the stories in a way that they can be easily shared. If you would like to submit a photo and/or would like to be chosen for our Stepfamily or Blended Family of the Month, please indicate that to us in your e-mail or letter.
You can e-mail us or for regular mail, please see our mailing address in the Contact Section. For more information, look to the Family Stories Section on our Home Page.
