BabyPoppy Posted Sunday at 05:08 AM Report Posted Sunday at 05:08 AM (edited) Week 2 — What Is Family? ❤️ Families come in all shapes and sizes. Some family members are related to us, and some aren't. Family might include parents, children, grandparents, siblings, partners, caregivers, friends, pets, or other special people. The people we choose as family can be just as important as the family we are born into. Families care for one another and help each other feel loved, safe, accepted, and like they belong. Family is the people we love who support us and care about us. Family looks different for different people, but we all need a place to belong and feel safe. 📺 Learn About It What does a family look like? There isn't one answer. Families can include: 👩 Moms 👨 Dads 👩👩 Two moms 👨👨 Two dads 👵 Grandparents 👴 Grandparents 👨👩👧 Stepfamilies 👶 Adoptive families 🏠 Foster families 👯 Siblings ❤️ Partners 🤝 Chosen family 🐾 Pets Some families live together.
