Some cultures have a joint family (or extended family) system. This means that each adult is responsible for helping to raise all the children in the group even if they're not biologically connected.
The advantages of this are that children come to trust a greater number of adults and to relate to them. The kids also have more close friends. Also if anything happens to one adult - say going into hospital - the kids feel safe with the extended family members.
