Stepmom Support (StepTogether.org)

     Are you a stepmother who needs to swap energy with other "co-moms"? Visit the chatroom and bulletin board at the former SAA's "virtual chapter" at www.steptogether.org. It continues and builds on the services of Stepmothers International, Inc. (stepmothers.org). SMI was originally a 501.c.3 nonprofit organization founded by co-parents Angela and Drew Thacker and supporters. They affiliated with the Stepfamily Association of America (SAA) in 1998, and transferred the organization to them early in 2001.

Stepmother Support Groups

     The "coffee" groups below were originally formed through Stepmothers' International. Inc. They augment the many other SAA support groups meeting across the country. E-mail the people below to learn about meeting real stepmom supporters in your area. To form a stepmom's group and be listed here (or change your listing), please contact us.
