stepsons
Remarriage family additions
Stepsons are the sons of one's spouse from a previous relationship.
A stepson is not biologically related to the stepparent but becomes part of the family through marriage: He has two stepsons from his wife's first marriage.
The relationship may be close or distant depending on circumstances, age at introduction, and time spent together.
