Details
The so-called traditional familya married man and woman living with their biological or adopted childrenis not typical in today's society. According to U.S. Census figures in 1994, a full one-third of the 36.4 million families with children were headed by single parents, usually women. Today's family may include grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins all living under the same roof. It may be a blended family, created when widowed or divorced parents move their children in with those of their new spouse. It may be a family headed by grandparents, unmarried parents, or gay or lesbian parents.
