Text: The next questions are about all the children you have or have ever had - including biological, adopted and step-children. Because family life is changing and many more parents nowadays don't live with their children, it's really important to us that Understanding Society builds an accurate picture of what family life in the UK looks like. So, as well as telling me about any children you currently live with, please tell me about any children you've lived with in the past - even if you're no longer in touch with them, or any who may have died.
