From my experience, when I was a young single woman in a major city in which I had no family, my friends and their families became my extended family. It was a wonderful thing to go to family picnics, baby showers, weddings, etc with my adopted families. When my family came to visit, I couldn't wait for them to meet my "away from home" family. My parents felt much better about me being away from home, because they knew that I had people around me who considered me part of the family and not just an acquaintance.
Just imagine how large my circle of friends became when these people became an extended family for me.
That was more than 30 years ago, and I feel blessed to have been so loved and supported by friends, many of whom I am in touch with still.
