<div><span style="font-size: x-small;">My name is Millie Chandler and I am a features writer here at DOLLY magazine.  I am currently writing a feature which explores the notion of a &#8220;normal&#8221; family and how there is no such thing.  It is a really positive piece that will emphasise that wherever there is love, there is a family.  We will be speaking to four or five girls who grew up in different families.</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: x-small;"> </span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: x-small;"> </span><span style="font-size: x-small;">We&#8217;d love to interview a teenage girl who has step brother(s) and/or sister(s) and was hoping you might know someone, or point us in the direction of someone who does? Ideally we&#8217;d love them to be from Sydney so we could get them into our studios for a photo shoot.  So if you have any Sydney contacts we would love to speak to them.</span></div>
<p>Thanks so much,</p>
