I don't know if you'd regard it as canon, but in a 2006 interview, Ed Bernero (Seasons 1-6 Showrunner) said, "All good drama, all good shows, are family shows. So at the core of this show, our BAU profiers are a family."
So, not literally, no. But they fulfill the paradigm of a family, just as they function as the Knights of the Round Table.
Oh, and Hotch already DID choose his BAU family over the home family. Which, hmmm, yeah, I'm pretty sure he regrets. Which isn't to say he wouldn't do the same thing again.
