A '''family''' is, narrowly, parents and their offspring.  More broadly, the group defined as those who have common ancestry.  That is, the group produced as a result of [[sex]] leading to offspring.  The term is also used more loosely to describe a group with some form of common characteristic or a group with a relationship (other than ancestral).  In normal usage, however, family refers to the typical [[nuclear]] family.

A nuclear family consists of a [[mother]], a [[father]], and [[children]]. An extended family includes grandparents, aunts, uncles nephew, nieces and grandchildren. A single-parent family is one in which only one parent raises the children, often less effectively than in a nuclear family.

There is a link between Single-Parent families,and secular beliefs, which many prominent scientists believe is the reason for an increase in Liberalism in younger generations.

Children without families are known as [[orphan]]s. They reside in orphanages, and they generally want to be [[adoption|adopted]] by [[love|loving]] parents.
