Its All Relative

It is said that you can't pick your family, but I say why not. You can't chose who you are born to, but I know lots of people who are adopted, they were chosen. You pick your friends or they pick you. And are friends not just extended family, I know mine are. People disown family members all the time. There are fathers and mothers who never know their children, though they might even live with them. Every year hundreds of children are neglected by their biological parents and they're care is taken over by often times by complete strangers. If you can disown and be adopted why not be able to chose your family? One of the plus side to choosing your family is you can add to it all the time.
