WHAT DOES STEPSISTER MEAN IN ENGLISH?

stepsister

Stepfamily

A stepfamily or blended family is a family where one parent has children that are not genetically related to the other parent. Either one or both parents may have children from a previous relationship. Children from a stepfamily may live with one biological parent and visit their other biological parent, or they may live with each biological parent for a period of time. A stepfather is the husband of one's mother and not one's natural father. A stepmother is one's father’s wife and not one's natural mother. Similarly, a step-brother is the son of a step-parent who one is not biologically related to. A step-sister is the daughter of a step-parent who one is not biologically related to. A parent's spouse of the same sex could also count as a step-parent. Alternatively in Australia Under the Family Law Act 1975 a ‘stepparent’ in relation to a child, is interpreted as a person who is not a parent of the child; and is, or has been, married to or a de facto partner of, a parent of the child; and treats, or at any time while married to, or a de facto partner of, the parent treated, the child as a member of the family formed with the parent.
