Families in our community come in many different forms. We asked our readers to send photographs of who they call their families — whether it’s parents and siblings, partners, children, step-relatives, pets, or even roommates and friends. The community provided this album of combinations of all kinds — showing “family” isn’t defined for us by rule, but by the people who share our lives.
