Yes.

My late sister Laenie used tell people, "We do not have a Family Tree .....We have a Hedgerow!!" lol Truer words were never spoken.
lol And ~sigh~

For one thing --- I am an adopted child. I also know my bio-sibs & bio-mom.. We were also a foster family for many years.

A not-very-sensitive person once tried to earnestly tell me who my "REAL" family were. I listened for over 15 mins as he spluttered and man-splained the whole thing to me. Then I laughed in his face and walked away. Trust me, I know EXACTLY who is (and is not) a member of my family.

Best,
