Birth Family

A birth family refers to the biological relatives of an individual, such as parents, siblings, and extended kin, from whom a person was born. This term is often used in adoption, fertility treatments, or cases involving reconnecting after initial separation. It distinguishes biological relationships from adoptive or chosen families, highlighting the genetic and familial origins of a person. Understanding one's birth family can offer insights into personal identity, heritage, and medical history, and may involve ongoing contact or reconnection, depending on individual circumstances and agreements.
