Non-sexually reproducing aliens and family.

How can a human understand the family dynamics of an alien who does not sexually reproduce? All human families are preseumed to be the result of sexual or sexually contributing loving relationships between a man and woman, and their offspring. This is the basis and branching of families.

Aliens who do not reproduce sexually have a different family organization. Do they have hidden sexual organs? Do they reproduce asexually? Do they reproduce in an arboreal manner or like bees? Maybe some are purely in vitro. These factors all affect the way aliens relate to one another.
