About

Welcome to My Family Blender!  MFB is a resource dedicated to the needs, challenges, and interests of a wonderful and special type of family: the blended family.  We are a community where blended families can come for information, ideas, insight, encouragement and support.  Blended families have unique needs and we are here to help serve them!

What is a blended family?  Well most of you probably have an idea what a blended family is by now, especially if you are here.  However, for the purposes of this site, we would like to share what MFB considers to be a blended family so it will be clear who MFB is here to serve.

A blended family (commonly known as a step family) is one in which at least one child is not the biological child of at least one parent.  This is different from what we call the bio family, in which the parent or parents are raising only their biological children.  Blended families are typically formed through a marriage where at least one party already has a child from a previous relationship, but by the MFB definition they can also be formed through adoption, foster parenting, or any situation in which at least one adult is raising one or more children who are not their biological kids (we call them blended sons and daughters).

If you believe this describes your family then you are in the right place!  Please register with us to join our community and stay updated on the latest blog posts and information.  We are so happy you are visiting the site and hope you will come regularly for content created to inform, encourage, inspire, and unite blended families.
