I define a family as a group of
people who share laughter, sadness, tragedy, victory, loss, regret, happiness,
and success together. A family is hard to define. Most commonly one thinks a
man, a woman, and their children. Time has shown this isn’t an exact answer.
Grandparents, adopted parents, cousins, aunts, uncles, and even just friends
can make up a family. Family is important for individuals to lead happy
lifestyles and to become satisfied with their life. (Berman, John and Enjoli
Francis, Taylor)
The Census Bureau's definition of "family" remains traditional: "A
family is a group of two people or more (one of whom is the householder)
related by birth, marriage, or adoption and residing together." (Schulten,
Katherine)
