['When I met my girlfriend she had a 5 year old son. We have been together for years now and I consider him as my own child.', "That is so sweet.  I really commend people who treat kids like their own, it's so important for a kid to grow up feeling like they have a lot of people in their corner.  I have a stepdaughter myself.", "You know then how it feels to have a child that is not your own yet accept them and love them unconditionally. You're awesome!"]
Yes, it's true in life too when you grow up, sometimes the best family has nothing to do with blood relations.
When I met my girlfriend she had a 5 year old son. I think of him as my very own son these days and love him dearly!
