There are many variables that come into play when considering blending families...speaking from many years of trials and getting it way wrong....has led to what is now a stable supportive family unit. But not before weathering many storms of conflict, miscommunication, bitterness, resentments to ultimately find a way to let LOVE win through it all.... The natural response of children are to analyze and then categorize who will be the dominant one and who will be more reserve... It is best to have the initial meeting of the prospective siblings take place in a neutral setting.. The risk is that if you have a familiar place such as the home of the parent then the incoming children may feel disadvantaged as they are the "new" faces being invited into a space that already has an estabilished child ranking...I know you would not think it matters but it does. When this happens it can create a sense of leverage that may later create substantial issues...
