Parents, you’ve got questions, we’ve got answers.

Or just as likely, we’ve got questions and you’ve got answers.

Challenge

What Makes a Family?

Maybe it’s the family you were born with; maybe it’s the one you created for yourself. Maybe you look like the rest of your family, maybe not. Maybe you’ve had to defend your definition of family, or explain it to people who don’t understand. They say that love makes a family; what does that mean to you? We’re partnering with NBC’s show “This is Us” on this challenge, and we want to hear about all the ways you define family — and all the messy, complicated, heartbreaking, joyful love that goes into making a family. Please share with the TODAY Parenting Team, because we’re all in this together.
