Immediate Family
Definition of Immediate Family as it relates to Family, Family Members, StepSiblings
"Immediate Family" under the context of Stepsiblings refers to the closest relatives shared between individuals who have at least one common parent but are not biologically related. This grouping typically includes parents, step-parents, and any children or step-siblings resulting from these unions. It is a subset of the broader category of Stepfamilies, which in turn falls under the umbrella term Family Members. The Immediate Family subgroup focuses on those family members most closely connected by blood or marriage to the Stepsibling relationship.
