#35: What is Family‪?‬ Let's Talk IVF

    • Science

What do you consider a family?
Generally, when you ask someone what is a family, they will typically think of parents with children and extended family members, who are biologically related to them.
However, a family can be made up of so much more than this ancient outdated definition.
Families share common values, goals, emotional bonds and responsibilities. Mostly family members contribute to the wellbeing of others in the family unit.
This topic comes up a great deal with clients, so I thought it would be a great idea to look at the definitions out there currently and highlight what makes a family!
