I never thought I would be ok with it, but I love kids and I want to have them fairly young (pre-30, I'm 24 now) so the fact that my boyfriend has a 7 year old son isn't all that bad. He doesn't have custody (although sometimes i think he should, babymama is a manipulative immature flake), so it's not too much of a strain on our dating.
We've been together on and off for three years now, and I didn't even meet his son until the end of year one (although he never tried to hide it). Basically, I think that a person who can acknowledge and take responsibility for their mistakes is a person worth having around.
However, as I said, I love kids and plan to have them in the not-to-distant future, so it's not exactly a dealbreaker.
