Best Answer

(A group of people who are not related but use family titles to refer to each other)

Well yeah. But no! A fictive kin would refer to someone not biologically related, but that you have adopted as a sister, or child, or even as a mother. The best example would be if I had a friend that had become so close to me that I now refer to him or her as my sister or brother and give all the respect of that title. Or if I had a second Mother or Father that I treated as a Mother or Father and called them Mom or Dad. So anyone not blood related, that you give title to as Momther, Father, Son, Daughter and so on, and treat as that title in your family is a fictive kin
