unless you are lied to your whole life and the people who you thought were your family arnt!!! Maybe you should understand that not everyone has a "blood family" to care about them and if you want to get all technical like that Definitions are man made! & in Gods eyes we are all one be 'ol happy family, that coming from me, somone who isnt a big church person!

I have adopted twin sons. They are more my family than some peoples blood relatives. I am the only mother they have ever known and was the first person to hold them when they were born. I AM their mother, they ARE my children, and with my husband we ARE a FAMILY!!!!!!! Blood makes you a relative, love makes you a family. God bless!

Adopted children are not blood but are definitely family :-) Family IS more than blood.

Listen you prick face, i am with a family after 10 years of foster care because my blood family didn't want me. FAMILY IS MORE THAN BLOOD!!!!

You have obviously not had a true friend that has been there for you through think and thin..I'm sorry that you haven't because then maybe you would realize that this quote is very much true..

I have people in my life that are not blood relatives but are still a part of my family. First off My Step Father who has been there since I was a baby, and now my husband! Also I have people who are not even by marriage. My close friends are a part of my family! Some more so than my blood relatives!

Your such a small minded person that I actually feel sorry for you. To think that family is just blood? Family is so much more. I am not blood related to any of my FAMILY.
Close minded idiots like yourself will probably live a very sad life.
I would like to wish you luck with it, but nahhh. Your an ejet.

Unless you are on the streets since 12 years old because men and drugs were more important than there son. To me my family are the people who were there for me through thick and thin. That's family. I kno because I went through it.

I would never define family as being blood!! Because family would not sexually molest you or bash your mother nearly to death in front of your eyes while still in a pram or disown you for your sexuality or gender- NO! Family are the people in my life who love and support me for just being myself, who would do anything to protect me and make me smile. They share my values, beliefs and love me for our differences.

Well you should also consider the foster kids or kids that never had the chance to be adopted. To them, family isn't just blood. Maybe in physical terms but in emotional terms I strongly agree with this quote. I love my foster parents and no matter what THEY ARE MY FAMILY. They're the ones that are their for me in times of need. And have helped me accomplish so many things. They accept me for who I am and love me no matter what. Not all 'blood' parents do that.
