      ChooseMyFamily.com New
      Creating Extended Families.com matches adults platonically to create surrogate extended family relationships. Whether an individual has no family, or is just missing one or more vital relationships in their life, a complete extended family would provide a more powerful support network. Creating Extended Families is a place where people looking for those missing relationships can find each other and connect. Matches are intended to develop into long term family like relationships, which may include such activities as sharing holidays, providing emotional support, and having someone who cares. The service matches both intergenerationally and peer to peer. A member can search for: parent figures individually, a couple jointly as parent figures, and peer/sibling matches. A single membership allows unlimited searching and unlimited matching, so it is entirely possible to be matched with parent figures and multiple sibling figures and, thereby, create a full extended family of your choosing. There are many ways to meet people online, but the advantage of using Creating Extended Families is that you are more likely to meet people who are looking to take a friendship and develop it into a chosen family. The service is also accessible via ChooseMyFamily.com.

There has been growing interest in community-based efforts that help to educate and direct at-risk youth and families to a variety of helpful services.
