CHURCH SUPPORTS FOSTERING AND ADOPTION STRONGLY AS IT SHOWS COMPASSION
Nuclear family: husband and wife living in home with children of marriage
Extended family: wider group includes aunts uncles grandparents
Reconstituted family parents marry again after divorce or death

Adoption= all legal parent rights. Lifelong commitment
Fostering= Looking after someone else's child. Sometime work to reunite birth family
