Make sure you and your wife are >Here< in regard to parenting style and overall views. Be a unit regardless of the child you're addressing at the time and allow no individual parent manipulation. I have an 11-YO stepson that we raised from ages 3 to 6 in our home before he returned to live his mom. I had to go through the motions and deal with the emotions of him leaving while I was pregnant with my blood child. Our sons are now four and 11 and they simply adore one another and we are one family. They know that whatever parent A says parent B will validate.
