You've read all the books on being a Stepmom, but nothing can replace the presence of warm bodies and real support. Our goal here at Stepmoms Plus is to foster a group of women who share this similar background of being in a committed relationship with a Dad that meets regularly to support, encourage, inform, and have fun.

I'd like to get together, not only to share our experiences with parenting, but also to simply enjoy time with others.

I would love to meet other OPGBMs in the world to discuss music, la …
