I know how hard it is being a step mum but they are not 'your' kids.

regards facebook pics, you can set the privacy to 'only me' so only you sees them

My Facebook is as secure as you can get, however there are mutual friends and family way down the line that im sure can see things and are passing it on.

I guess the only way to stop it is to take all the photos off Facebook, it's just a shame that family who don't live close wont be able to see how well they are doing.

there are other ways of sending photos online, rather than having them on facebook.

If it upsets you that their mum posts your photos on her fb, just take the photos down. Theres nothing you can do about that - they are her kids too.

This has actually spured us into action and were off to see a solicitor today about me adopting them. I know it can take a long while but it will be worth it in the end.

Yeah - that's the way to go... Up the ante...

If their mum is proudly posting pictures then she isn't just going to sign over her kids to you.

Nearly every thread you mention that you have made sacrifices for the kids etc, always mentioning the 'abuse' (no charges?) etc... It's like you see yourself as the heroine in a Victorian novel and that we should all 'ooh and ah' at your selflessness.

Sorry, but going for adoption because mum uses some photos is ridiculous.

Why are you so possessive?

The children should be the primary concern... You seem to see them as trophies or possessions... Not good.

Go for the adoption if it makes the children feel happy and secure, and definitely take down fb pictures.

I would be extremely concerned if a stepmother was of the opinion that her husbands children, who live in her home and she provides care for, were not hers . That would suggest to me a lack of maternal feeling towards them. I doubt this viewpoint would be in the long term best interests of the children.

Adoption is a great idea - it will make those children feel more secure.

Parenting is not just biology.

I'm sure biological mum loves her children, but love and ability to be a good parent don't necessarily go together.
