I just had a totally random thought after reading other threads about kids - :eusa_think:

Does such a trans family (trans parents AND trans children) exist? That would be so out of the world! heh

Maybe but it's probably and hopefully rare...  being trans is just a rare birth defect and I don't think it's genetic.

One way I think it would be possible is if a transgender teen was kicked out by family and then adopted by understanding trans parents.

After I came out to my mom, she confided in me that she's always wanted to be a boy.  She didn't feel right being a woman - she wanted to do boy things.  She wasn't happy when she grew breasts.  But she got used to it and accepted it.  I guess she's not far enough toward the trans on the transgender spectrum to need to transition.  She's an uber tomboy.  I'm more girlie than her!  I don't know if this counts as what you're looking for, but there you go. :)

Also, I have an aunt on my father's side who I consider gender queer.  According to another aunt, she always wanted to be a boy, do boy things, wear boy clothes, short hair.  She grew up to be a body builder.  And a hair stylist who owns her own salon.  She wears makeup now, but her look is ultra edgy and strong for a woman.  I take some inspiration from her.

Something somewhere about a Czech family in Prague is tingling in my brain about this.

Are they in hiding?  :)

I have heard of trans-couples, MTF/MTF, FTM/FTM, MTF/FTM... so I wondered if they would be more likely to adopt transgender children more than the natal people, since I am sure there must be transgender children in the adoption system but no one wants them...

It's something I've thought about. I plan to adopt one day, and I think it would be a great thing to give a good home to an otherwise unwanted lgbt kid.
