Quirky Quip

"They" and "their" do not agree with their singular antecedent "a step parent." The best way to correct this error would be to make "step parent" plural. There is some unnecessary capitalization. The shift from present tense in the first sentence to past tense in the second sentence is incorrect, too. This quip could be corrected as follows: 

Step parents are truly amazing people. They make a choice to love another's child as their own.
