blended and binuclear families  

Definition

  • The most common and inclusive definition of stepfamilies is that advanced by Marilyn Coleman and Lawrence H. Ganong: “a family in which at least one of the adults in a relationship has a child or children from a previous relationship.” A number of different terms have been used to describe stepfamilies such as blended or binuclear families (other examples include reconstituted, reorganized, and second-time-around families).
