stepparent
Example:
"Not long ago, you rarely heard the word 'step-parent' without hearing the word 'wicked' in front
of it. Or with the word 'monster' in front of it. These just sound wrong to us. So, when we heard Oprah refer to a step-parent as
a 'bonus' parent, it just felt right." Rachel Sarah, singlemommyhood.com blog, July 20, 2009
