We talk about the concept of 'found families' - groups of people who choose each other as kin despite lacking biological ties. This represents a powerful alternative to traditional family structures, fulfilling our fundamental need for belonging. Found families often develop through shared experiences and thrive on authentic compatibility, particularly resonating within LGBTQ+ communities facing family rejection. They demonstrate the resilience and adaptability of human social connections.
