** In ''ComicBook/WonderWoman1987'' the fact that many Amazons were key to raising Diana is highlighted, as is the fact that she was the only child on the island so she was a doted on and beloved little princess. In her adulthood this translates to extreme loyalty from many Amazons as she is the closest thing they have to their own daughter.
** The emotional toil of being immortal and unable to have or see a child for centuries is explored in ''ComicBook/WonderWoman2006'', where once again many Amazons were delighted when Diana was born and more than happy to love her like a daughter and help raise her.

Seeing how badly they had screwed up, the townsfolk, from the workers to the mayor himself, collectively adopt the boy and raise him lovingly. This helps lighten up the otherwise dark ending of the original story, making it more of a BittersweetEnding.

->''It takes a village to raise a child''
-->-- ''African proverb''

Sometimes a family can be a man, a woman, and their children. It can be a man, a woman, and their HappilyAdopted children. It can be two men, two women, grandparents, or single parents. It can also be a group of semi-competent members pitching in to raise one child. This trope represents a community banding together to raise a child as best they can.

The child's parents can be in various states of disarray. They usually aren't GoodParents, but at the highest standard for this trope, they might just be in over their heads. It's possible that DeceasedParentsAreTheBest, and this trope is the aftermath. One parent could be deceased, while another is a {{Workaholic}} or TooDumbToLive. They might just be a simple DysfunctionalFamily that the community has taken note of. There are numerous parental arrangements of this trope, but the end result is the child being raised in a larger community than keeping their family to a small group of parents and siblings.

The community itself may or may not replace the parents, depending on the situation. It can be formed out of any social group, from the BarbarianTribe to the QuirkyTown to the workaholic parent's place of business. The community members can play any number of roles in the child's life that are not parental. One might be the CoolUncle (not to be confused with {{Nephewism}}), another might be the ApronMatron, while the LadyDrunk that the group tolerates slips odd words of wisdom under the table when the others aren't watching. Whatever role each member of the community plays, the child considers them a part of their family, despite not being biologically or legally related.
