My family
Maybe I live with my natural parents, the mother and father to whom I
was born. We love each other. We are a family.
But maybe I do not live with my natural parents.
Maybe I was adopted. My mother and father chose me to be part of their
family. I love them and they love me. And we are a family.
Maybe I live with my mother and my stepfather. Or maybe I live with my
father and my stepmother. They take care of me. We love each other. And
we are a family.
Maybe I live alone with my mother. We love each other. We are a family.
Or maybe I live alone with my father. We love each other. We are a
family, too.

very best.
