Trying to find a good term or phrase...
"Family of origin" is the family you were born into and raised in. Generally, parents and siblings, possibly also other relatives.
"Family of choice" (aka "found family") is the people you choose to be with and who really have your back.
Okay, so what to call "your spouse and children"? The family you are creating and raising?
