"The bond that links your true family is not one of blood, but of respect and joy in

each other’s life.” – Richard Bach. Families categorized as transnational typically consist of
individuals who live in multiple countries or regions, often separated by significant
geographic distances. While the concept of a rainbow family acknowledges the range of
family structures and stresses that love, commitment, and the ability to create a secure and
supportive environment are unaffected by accepted notions of gender identity or sexual
orientation.

I think that one of the hardest situations is probably that of transnational families. In
order to support their family, they give up time spent with them. They are separated from
their family in their native country and only get to see them occasionally. Naturally, there are
a lot of opinions regarding the same-sex partnership as the head of a family or “Rainbow
family” as the LGBT community is still a sensitive topic for other people. In my opinion, the
rainbow family is as capable as what you would call a “normal” family. Despite people's
concerns that a child in a rainbow family would not have a father or mother figure to look up
to, they can love each other and a child who is related to them by blood or not. People in
rainbow families are more than capable of fulfilling these roles. A family is defined by the
bonds that individuals form with one another, not by the presence of a mother, father, and
child. Even if members of a family are not related by blood, they can still be considered
family as long as they share a connection and bond that makes them feel like a family.

To sum up, the difficulty faced by transnational families is having to give up time with
their family back home in order to support them virtually. Although some people find the idea
of same-sex relationships or "Rainbow families" offensive, these groups can function just as
well as a traditional family. It is unfounded to worry that kids won't have any parental figures
in their lives because love and connection can serve those functions. Family is defined by
the ties that people have to one another, not always by blood relations, highlighting the
significance of emotional ties in defining a family.
