It does take a special sort of person, male or female to take on another person's children, and treat them equally as their own. No matter how easy it may seem to love a child, it does make a difference that the child may not physically be your own, though the rewards can be just as fullfilling.
We all know how good a child is at surveying the tactics to use with adults, we all realise that kids operate sneakiness like it's an art form against the niaive grown ups and, as such, the would be parent whether it be their natural parent or step-parent sometimes don't stand a chance. Kids are brilliant at using a situation to benefit themselves, by playing parents off against each other or just playing on the would-be sympathy vote..........So, yes in my opinion it does take a special and dedicated person to willingly and lovingly take on someone else's children.
It becomes harder to deal with a split-level family when another child arrives, as there are times when the step child may feel pushed to one side or not treated as equal by the step-parent........This is a very difficult situation, and one that usually occurs accidentally, but the consequences can be devastating to the child and and traumatic to a families contentness.
If anyone would like to add an opinion or leave a personal experience, please feel more than welcome.

my daughter was physically threatened, constantly degraded and finally physically attacked and beaten by her so- called step mother. That hideous woman has been a part of my childs life since she was 6. After my daughter became a 6foot tall gorgeous young woman, my ex's 300 pound ugly wife couldnt stand her anymore.
After being assaulted yet again, my daughter ran away. 18 Long call custody hearings upheld exactly what I had told everyone from the very beginning.
2 years and every single cent I had later, my daughtrer is freee and never has to set foot in that house again. Her "loving father" has ONE HOUR a week visitation, that must take place in a public venue.
So much for step parenting.

My brother in law stepped into this situation. Married my sister with a 2 year old son. Both my nephew and my sister are very intelligent people (and my personal theory is that intelligent people for "whatever reason" are harder to deal with).
Of course now my BIL has a 9 year old son that loves to be outside. Someone to teach hunting and dirt bikes and basketball, etc.
They have a daughter now too. And make a great little family. My sister and my brother in law's relationship has its highs and lows, but they make the best of it. I give them both excellent credit!!! As we all know, relationships aren't the easiest things to maintain! :o)
