Il y a des familles de tous les types et de toutes les formes. Il y a des familles adoptives, des familles composées de deux mamans ou de deux papas, des familles monoparentales, et des familles où les enfants sont élevés par des grands-parents, un tuteur ou des frères et soeurs plus âgés. Il y a des familles nombreuses, des petites familles, des familles élargies, des familles reconstituées et des familles multiraciales. Mais quelle que soit la forme qu'elles prennent, elles ont toutes un point en commun : elles nous enseignent à être fort et nous montrent que ce qui compte, c'est l'amour.
