Culturally speaking, kinship is imagined as a “fixed” relationship based in nature. But sociological studies indicate that rather than understanding kinship as a “given” relationship, it is better understood as a relationship that is “done” in social life. This entry shows how people engage in “making” kinship happen, through everyday life, resuming or rejecting family responsibilities, and in families formed through new reproductive technologies
