A group of close friends or other people who support you like a family, even though you are not related.
Hear it in real life
Do you still feel at home in this city?
Yes, I've built a chosen family here.
My chosen family helped me through a very difficult year.
The mistake everyone makes

Say: My chosen family supports me.
Use the fixed adjective “chosen” before “family,” not the base verb “choose.”
