National Family Day, is a time to reflect on and celebrate the rich diversity that defines families in America.
Today, families come in a variety of shapes and sizes, reflecting the evolution of our society and the opening of new family structures.
According to studies conducted by the Pew Research Center and others, a significant change in family structures has been observed in recent decades.
Traditional nuclear families made up of two parents and their children, are still common, but new family forms have emerged that deserve to be recognized and celebrated.
In recent years, single-parent have experienced constant growth. According to the Pew Research Center, in 1968, only 12% of children lived in single-parent households; by 2014 that figure rose to more than 27%.
These families face unique challenges but also demonstrate greater resilience and unwavering love.
The acceptance and recognition of same-sex parental families have also increased in recent years. According to Statista, more than a million same-sex couples in the United States were living together in 2020. This number continues to rise, as more and more states legalize same-sex marriage and provide legal protections for these loving families.
Regardless of family structure, what unites all families is the power of unconditional love and support. At Ingenes, we are proud to be part of the journey of many families in search of motherhood and fatherhood. We provide advanced fertility solutions, guided by respect, empathy, and a commitment to make the dream of having a baby come true, regardless of the type of family they form.
On this National Day of the American Family, we celebrate all families: traditional, single-parent, same-sex, and each one that finds love and connection in the union of its members. Diversity enriches us, and at Ingenes, we believe that all families deserve the opportunity to experience the joy and love that comes with parenthood.
In a world that embraces diversity and promotes equality, we remember that love is the strongest bond that unites a family. As a society, we must support each other and provide the support necessary for each family to achieve their dreams of having a baby.
