1
CAN A NON-BIOLOGICAL PARENT
LOVE AND ADEQUATELY CARE
FOR A CHILD THAT IS NOT BIOLOGICALLY
CONNECTED TO THEM?
2
The comparison that non-biological parents don’t have
that “special” connection with their children is
ignorant!
ANYONE CAN BE A BIOLOGICAL PARENT!
3
I believe that a majority of parents that do not have a biological
connection to a child can show love and support to that child equally
MY OPINION

MY VIEWS ON STEP-PARENTS
5
I have seen many step-parents labeled as inadequate in their parenting skillsMany because the child is struggling to accept them
My husband and his family have shown me that a step-parent and step-family can take in children as their own
MY VIEWS ON STEP-PARENTS

MY VIEWS ON ADOPTIVE PARENTS
7
I have seen many adoptive parents struggle through the adoption process only to be labeled not as adequate as a biological parent The stereotype that they cannot love their children because they do not have a biological connection is unfair and unfounded
MY VIEWS ON ADOPTIVE PARENTS
8
Arguing FOR the non-biological parents and AGAINST the judgment that they are not capable of caring for children at an equal emotional
level as a biological parent is.
MY ARGUMENT

OBSTACLES STEP-PARENTS
FACE
10
Could it possibly be that the biological parent is keeping the stereotype of a step-parent alive?Subconsciously the biological parent could be signaling their tensions to the children, which can cause a ripple effect in the relationship with the step-parent
Maybe a close relative of the biological parent is swaying the child’s or the biological parent, themselves opinion of the step-parent’s parenting skills
Maybe the other biological parent is swaying the image the children have of the step-parent

OBSTACLES ADOPTIVE
PARENTS FACE
12
Fear that the birth parent could come back into the picture and take the child back This can cause a disconnect with the child for fear of loving
them and losing themFear that the child will ask to meet the parent
someday and end up liking them more This also can cause a disconnect with the child
Emptiness felt because of the inability to have a child biologically This can cause resentment of the child This can also cause a disconnect with the child of they
don’t meet the parents standards (which would be sloughed off as “If you were my biological child”)
