Living with Our Chosen Family

December 3, 2023

Rev. Vincent Lachina

Each of us has a birth family or adopted family that forms our personal history and in many ways, determines who we are, what we look like, and how we behave. At the same time, each of us has also created a network of other non-family members whom we have chosen as friends, supporters, or loved ones. Often times, it is this Chosen Family that we rely on deeply as we make our life journey from childhood to old age. Who are our chosen family members? How are these chosen? What is their purpose? How does our chosen family compete with or complete our biological families? These are just a few of the questions we'll address as we look at our Chosen Family.
