Odellas was headed to college on a full-ride football scholarship until he became a teenage father to a baby girl and joined the Navy to help provide financially. Janice was busy raising her baby girl and working as a teenage mom in a neighboring state. Happenstance brought them together. They eventually married and added an “ours” daughter to their family. Now, 35 years later, with smiles and laughter, Odellas and Janice Moore easily talk about the blessings—and challenges—of their blended family and forming relationships that have gone the distance through prayer and communication. #blendedfamilies #stepparenting #teenmom #teendad #stepchildren Don’t forget to like this video, subscribe to our YouTube channel, and ring the notification bell so you never miss a future upload! https://www.youtube.com/familylifeblended?sub_confirmation=1 Follow FamilyLife Blended on social media: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/familylifeblended/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/familylifeblended/ X: https://x.com/FLBlended

Do you need encouragement in your blended family? Check out Ty and Debora's story. Blended families have complex variables. Among the many dynamics are combining two families, understanding the stepparent’s role, managing grief and loss, coping with former spouses, and building trust and unity. When families from different cultures are combined, blending carries even greater complexity with different languages, traditions, and everyday interactions to balance.
