The Anderson-Beseda Family of Maine

[AARP Real Possibilities] [The Anderson-Beseda Family] [Portland, Maine] It means to reinvent your ideas of family all the time. Do you want to answer? What do you think it means to be part of this family? No. [laughter] What's a fun thing about being part of a bigger family? Lots. A lot of play time. A lot of play time, yeah. And that includes going outside right now. [How were things different when you were growing up?] You get to create family. You're not born into it. It's not a given. You go out and seek it, and you make it what you want it to be, and your family comes with all sorts of layers, and if you're really lucky, your family comes with bonus children, and a lot of people are willing to expand and do what they need to to reinvent their own idea of what it means to be family.
