For example, in a chosen family where people come from different backgrounds, some might value saving money while others are more into spending freely. Another challenge is jealousy.

Since it's not a family bound by blood, some people might not be as committed during tough times as others expect them to be.
Yes. For example, there was a young woman named Lily who moved to a new city. She was lonely at first. But then she joined a local running club. There, she met a bunch of like - minded people. One couple in the club, Tom and Sarah, noticed that Lily was alone during the holidays. They invited her to their place. Eventually, more and more members of the club became like family to Lily. They all have keys to each other's places, and they take care of each other when someone is sick. It's a beautiful story of how people can create their own family.
