Family is not always by blood. And the quantity of the family isnt important. Its the quality that counts.

You are definately right. It is the quality that counts. I have blood relatives that I haven't spoken to in months, some I haven't talked to in years. My immediate family is very close. I am the oldest of five and wouldn't trade the world for any of them.

Yeah! I agree. Family doesn't have to be by blood. We have a whole neighborhood to be like a family of our own. We don't seem to notice, but if we see our children practically growing up with the kids in the neighborhood, they are building up a relationship like that of a family. They hung out together, sometimes; attend the same school together, sharing little secrets together, and even building dreams together. Isn't that amazing! That could be more than a blood relation.

I agree Growing up we adopted my people into our family, My kids do to now to this day. Aunts with our family not alot of them are around, so it is sad, but this way we can select people to love. I know it sounds wrong, we try to love ALL, just saying to give that extra special LOVE to.. Have a Blessed Day

Yes right i believe Family is not always by blood. It is a great relation that is maintained by a group of people, be it be any number, where affection and love are made the holy foundation. We all know that strong foundation gives an everlasting life for the things create. I don't say that Family is not at all by blood. Of course they are because that blood will inject a responsibility that in turn multiplied caring and affection. But what about children who lost their parents. They can share all emotions of love, affection and caring to the people who are no where related to them by blood. They should be accepted as one among our family. Right. Be it be any one. People who can share their emotions among themselves and feel the responsibility upon other become a great family where the count of people is of less significance.
