I was raised by my mother and stepfather, but my stepfather did not adopt me. I wish he had. Stepchildren go through a lot with step parents, its a very delicate situation that can really define a child. As long as your stepchild knows and is told very often that you love the child as much as other biological children, that your extended family views this child as their own, then you're doing well IMO. The fact that the child calls you "mommy" says it all. That's more important than the official papers to a child. But if you do pursue it, even if you don't succeed, this will also mean a lot. These kids deal with a lot of rejection issues, being "wanted" is important. I would pull out the phone book and call a couple of attorneys.
