2 parents

I don't understand what the last sentence means in this paragraph .... does "2 parents" mean 2 moms and 2 dads? And what does "them" mean? Plus I don't understand " differently" in this context.

When asking people about their family, it is safest to ask about their brothers or sisters. This will avoid any awkwardness if the person’s parents are divorced or possibly dead. Also, when talking about your family, it is often not necessary to talk about your parents. People will assume that you have 2 parents unless you tell them differently.

Thank you.
