The Ruling on Maintaining Ties with the Stepchildren

Question
She asks if she is obligated to maintain ties with her husband's children as if they are her own relatives. Are they considered her relatives that she must connect with?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: It is recommended to maintain ties with the husband's children; due to the permanent bond between you, and the connection through marriage, and God knows best.
