Many urban residents do not have the emotional support of an adequate network of kin, friends, or neighbors. It has been proposed that such persons mightjoin together into artificial extendedfamilies orfamily clusters. About a dozen adults of various ages and marital statuses plus their children could agree to meet regularly to have fun together, share knowledge and skills, help each other in personal growth, and provide mutual support in joy and sorrow. Experiences in the formation and operation of a cluster are described on the basis of participant observation
