Dear Valued Users,
It's with a heavy heart that we announce the permanent closure of StepTalk.org on August 31st, 2025.
This decision wasn't an easy one. For over twenty years, StepTalk has been a source of support for stepparents around the world! However, over the years, the costs associated with maintaining and upgrading the site to remain secure, meet current standards and maintain availability have become unsustainable.
We are incredibly grateful for your support, contributions and the community you've helped us build. Your engagement has made StepTalk.org a special place and we cherish the memories and connections made here.
We would especially like to thank Aniki for volunteering to be a moderator and for caring so much.
Thank you for being a part of our journey and we wish you all the best.
Sincerely,
Dawn and The StepTalk Team

This reminds me, I think I'll go back and re-read some things...
Hopefully I will have the
Hopefully I will have the book today or tomorrow. I just took a look at the tracking and it moved out of Atlanta at 9:30 last night!!!!! No skids this weekend either...maybe i'll be able to bang out the entire book this weekend??? I hope so, I love getting deep into a book! I did that with The Help and enjoyed it very much!
I attempted to find it at a bookstore locally with no luck, so I tried to get it on my iPad but it wasn't available thru iTunes bookstore so I had to resort to Amazon, which I don't mind too awful bad other than waiting on it to arrive!
