To have a nuclear family, do the parents have to be birth parents to the child or can they be adoptive parents?

for example, if you had 2 parents and they adopted a child, would they become a nuclear family? or does the child have to be born from them?

Adopted children are still part of it.
A nuclear family simply means mother, father and children together, all supporting eachother.
It would just not be a nuclear family if you had aunties and uncles etc involved.
So yes, the child can be adopted as then the child is legally theirs.

adoptive is good, as long as parents are opposite genders.

yes adopted children are considered part of a nuclear family.
dad, mom, kids–that’s all a nuclear family is. It’s just the traditional idea of immediate family. it doesn’t matter how the kids came to be part of the family.
