Özet
For decades, the nuclear family—one mother, one father, and their children—has been the gold standard of society. Yet the vast majority of us are not living in nuclear families, or we see ourselves as failing if we’re exhausted mothers, single, or divorced. In a world where rising costs and rollbacks on women’s and LGBTQIA+ rights are making it harder to build a life, is the nuclear family really the only way to structure a family?
Busting open long-held assumptions about tradition and care, Chosen Family provides a road map for creating and maintaining intentional family networks based not just on the default but on shared values, needs, and commitment: your "chosen family." Having spent twenty years helping couples, platonic partners, and polyamorous folks design non-nuclear family structures, lawyer and family mediator Diana Adams guides readers through key questions that arise when creating one’s chosen family, including: Do I want to structure my family around a romantic partner? What does it look like to co-parent with a friend? How do I ask for and offer more mutual care?
Breaking down the historical and political forces that have shaped our limited understanding of kinship and sharing real-life examples of successful chosen families, Adams offers practical advice for creating mutual agreements around finances and co-parenting, setting boundaries while living with others, having tough conversations about commitment, and helping couples, co-parents, and friends build systems of care that work for them.
We don’t have to allow society’s expectations to keep us trapped in structures that don’t support us. Chosen Family invites us into a new, positive movement that expands our definition of family in both culture and law—so that everyone has the right to be cared for and to care for others.

Praise for Chosen Family
"This book is a must-read. . . As a therapist, I turn to Diana Adams’ work for the much-needed reconciliation between the legal and relational aspects of our intimate partnerships."
—Esther Perel, author of Mating in Captivity and host of Where Should We Begin
"As someone who built a chosen family to raise my child, I wish this book had existed when I started. Rich with real stories and hard-won wisdom, Chosen Family manages to be both a practical handbook and a genuine vision for a more caring world. This is essential reading for anyone who has ever sensed there could be another way."
—Jessica Fern, author of Polysecure
"Chosen Family is a gorgeous invitation to thoughtfully, intentionally, and lovingly create the family that best suits you. Adams explains just how racism, sexism, heteronormativity, and other repressive systems are responsible for the veneration of the nuclear family. . . Directly resisting this, Adams provides a guide for thinking expansively about what it means to be a family. Everyone should read this book."
—Khiara M. Bridges, JD, PhD. author of Expecting Inequity
"Essential reading for anyone in a 'non-traditional' family or anyone who loves someone in one — which is another way of saying Diana Adams' wonderful new book is essential reading for everyone."
—Dan Savage, journalist and author of The Kid and It Gets Better
"At once radical and pragmatic, this wise and broad-minded book invites us to rethink family, law, society, government, and the complex interactions among them. It is a useful guide for those who have felt marginalized, and an invitation for everyone to realize that the structures determining our relationships are more flexible than we think. Diana Adams’s vision is liberation."
—Andrew Solomon, author of the Noonday Demon
"A passionate, and deeply compassionate account of the realities and possibilities of today's chosen families"
—Stephanie Coontz, family historian and author of For Better and Worse: The Complicated Past and Challenging Future of Marriage
