  • Personal life perspective on families
    • Emphasizes individual family members and how they shape relationships
    • Beyond ties of blood and marriage
      • Gay and lesbian chosen families- supportive network, not related by blood
      • Relationships with friends can be even closer than family
      • Fictive kin eg mothers friends are seen as aunts
      • Relationships with dead relatives- their memory still affects actions
      • Relationships with pets- seen as family
    • Donor conceived children
      • Nordqvist and smart
      • Different  people see donor children in different ways
        • Like family- genetics dont matter
        • Genetics have an impact eg for lesbian parents there may be tension if the baby only shares dna with one mother
