I don’t believe blood matters when it comes to the term “family”. The idea that you ought to owe someone love or attention because you share some connection with them biologically is a pipe dream. Bonds and shared moments and memories make you family.

Literally. I consider some of my friends family and if I were to have kids I would have them call them their aunts and uncles.
