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 orphans. They reside in orphanages, and they generally want to be adopted by loving parents.
