- Describe your familyænbsp;structure. Include household composition, sibling constellations, unusual family configurations and multiple families, i.e., foster care, adoption, stepfamilies, and god-families. Provide specific examples of open-type, closed-type, or random-type communication and the presence of boundaries, if any.
