Promises of 'best friend forever'. Teacher-pupil bonds. But, in Fenspace, 'making family' might have a more literal sense.

Does everyoen who knows about Stellvia leadeship know, or only their friends?Originally, nobody other than Noah, A.C., and the androids in question know that they're AIs. This only comes to light when there's an incident on the day Grover's Corners launches. Most SMOF, many Hacker Underspace members, and a few others eventually learn the truth by the time of Legend of Galactic Girls.
Sora has always thought of herself as Noah's daughter. The others... well, that's a plot point in the chapter of Legend of Galactic Girls that I'm currently writing. Eventually, Noah will publicly acknowledge Sora, Kohran, and Safety (but none of the others) as his daughters, but not until after Helen's born.
You just can't get the parts, these days... [grin]
