What is meant by 'Childless Stepmum'?
By this we mean anyone who is in a relationship with someone who has children but they do (or did) not.

I now have children with my partner. Can I still enter?
Certainly. In fact there is a section on the forum specifically for people who now have children with their partner but didn’t at the time they formed the relationship. There are a variety of categories within the forum to suit people’s different needs and situations.

Can anyone join in?
The forum is open to anybody who wishes to enter but specifically it is for childless step mothers. While childless step fathers are also welcome, please be aware the site was designed with women in mind so apologies if we do not meet your specific needs. If you are (or were) a step child and are aged 16 or over (see Guidelines), or a biological parent who feels they can either make helpful contributions or gain some insight in to the childless step parent’s environment, then of course you are also welcome.

There are a few points you haven’t taken in to account. How can I let you know about them?
