Although most children younger than 18 typically live with both parents,it is not safe to assume that either parent is the biologic parent or that they are married or that they live together.Thus,they may or may not be a nuclear family.On the basis of the introduction,the child considers the woman his mother and the man his father.Either one may be a stepparent or an adoptive parent.The values of affection and responsibility,not biology,are what bond contemporary families.
