I was adopted at the age of 2. I have a Caucasian family. Not by blood, but by people who needed a daughter because they could not conceive their own child. Later on they were able to give me a little sister. I consider these people and my relatives, my family. I have never met my birth parents and I never will. Who do you consider to be your family? Your kids and significant other? Your parents and siblings? I'm just curious.
Only my son and my dad are the only family I'll acknowledge. The rest of my family are my friends I have some really dear online friends who are more family than any of my former family will ever be.
