Our family of origin is the family we were born into. Our family of choice is the people we choose to do life with.

The thought behind the quote
Your family is more than just the people you are “related” to...family of origin. Your family are the people you CHOOSE to do life with...family of choice.
Family of Choice are not just the people related to you, but people who relate to you. Family of choice are people who share common core values. Family of choice are people who you WANT to do life with and who WANT to do life with you. Family of choice are people who celebrate you, not tolerate you. Family of choice are people who love you for YOU. Family of choice are people who GET YOU and feel like they GET TO do relationship with you rather than HAVE TO. Family of choice can be both origin and choice, but it is YOUR CHOICE.
LOVE ALL FAMILY! But do life with those YOU CHOOSE and who CHOOSE YOU!
