Out of the topic of light and into a simple ideology of family; a discussion came up today at breakfast time. It started with the usual question for these days; when is the best age to have a child? The discussion was specifically interesting as it addressed women passing 30 and still are not ready for being a mother, such as myself. Would 35 be a good age for a woman to have a child? Or would it be too late?

Then I led the discussion to my dream family style, which is to create a diversity in the family members by considering the adoption solution. If the definition of a family was changed so that it would be defined as two fosters and two to more children from different backgrounds, a micro-biodiversity would evolve in the family as a smallest social form.

Would this idea take away the harsh cultural borders that we create among us and would it change the definition of multiculturalism? Would then the diversity mean to have diverese skills, preferences, groups and social inclinations rather than diverese set if ethnicities? Why do we need to have clear lines between us? The geographical borders or cultural definitions? Is to decode people into different initial formats with help of stereo types, the only solution for us for feeling safe?
