1. All families are a bit quirky

Families come in all shapes and sizes.

All families are a little bit quirky and families can change over time.

Sometimes our parents or carers stay together and sometimes they separate and live on their own or find new partners.

One or more of your parents might identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, gender diverse, non-binary, or asexual.

You might also have a sperm or egg donor or a surrogate, or you might have been fostered, adopted, or conceived by your parents.

You get the picture… There are more kinds of rainbow families than there are colours in the rainbow!


You can define your family how you want to.

There is just one important ingredient for a family:

  • Love makes a family. What kind of family is yours?
  • What really annoys you about your family?
  • What makes your family special to you?
