The Blended Family Sourcebook:
A Guide to Negotiating Change

by David S. Chedekel,
Karen O’Connell

Our families are ever-changing but changes within the blended family must be negotiated and all family members must be integrated.

New families and new family concepts are
a growing reality in our society. Stepparents form a new family; couples adopt or foster a child; parents with children of their own take in an elderly parent; grandparents marry and blend both adult stepchildren and step grandchildren into a family; grandparents start raising their own grandchildren.

It is not easy to merge all loved ones (and often some not so lovable) into a new family. Changes within the new family must be negotiated and all family members must be integrated for a successful blending.
