Would you ever consider adopting your spouses children if the father or mother were not involved in their lives? I have had a cousin of mine do this when we got married. His wife had two boys and one was older to know what was going on and didnt want that in his life, but he adopted the youngest boy and my cousin lives his life as being his dad and his supporter in life.

If this were the case, I definitely would consider it. It's something that I would try to do. But if the mother were alive, I would still try to have a good relationship with them, do activities with them, and such. At least show that there is another person who cares.

When my husband and I married we did think about having him adopt my first son, who's father was not in the picture. Unfortunately the adoption process was too expensive so it didn't happen.. but I would have liked it to. Either way hubby treats my son as one of his own, you'd never know they weren't related, aside from the fact that my oldest doesn't look like my husband or the other kids.

I live with my boyfriend now for 5 years and he has an 11 year old who lives in England with her mother. If the mother were not in the picture and my boyfriend brought her home with us and this was an option, yes I would. I love my boyfriend enough and if we were married I would definitely treat her as my own.
In fact I do so now as she visits us for a month twice a year and I taken her on as mine as well.
