• A national Pew Center report (Livingston, 2014) found that 40% of all new marriages in the US today are remarriages for one or both of the partners. • An estimated 14 million stepmothers currently live in the US. • 42% of adults have a “step” relationship—either a stepparent, a step or half sibling, or a stepchild. This translates to 95.5 million adults. (Pew Research Center)
