DIFFERENT KINDS OF FAMILY STRUCTURES

 Nuclear family: A family unit consisting of a father, mother, and dependent children. It is considered
the "traditional" family.
 Extended family: A family consisting of parents and children, along with grandparents, grandchildren,
aunts or uncles, cousins, etc. In some circumstances, the extended family comes to live either with or in
place of a member of the nuclear family.
 Step-families: Two families brought together due to divorce, separation, and remarriage.
 Single-parent family: This can be either a father or a mother who is singly responsible for the raising
of a child. The child can be by birth or adoption. They may be a single parent by choice or by life
circumstances. The other parent may have been part of the family at one time or not at all.
 Adoptive family: A family where one or more of the children has been adopted. Any structure of a
family may also be an adoptive family. Single-parent Bi-racial or multi-racial family: A family where
the parents are members of different racial identity groups. Transracial adoptive family: A family where
the adopted child is of a different racial identity group than the parents.
 Blended family: A family that consists of members from two (or more) previous families.
 Conditionally separated families: A family member is separated from the rest of the family. This may
be due to employment far away military service; incarceration; or ospitalization. They remain
significant members of the family.
 Foster family: A family where one or more of the children is legally a temporary member of the
household. This "temporary" period may be as short as a few days or as long as the child's entire
childhood.
 Gay or Lesbian family: A family where one or both parents' sexual orientation is gay or lesbian. This
may be a two-parent family, an adoptive family, a single-parent family, or an extended family.
 Immigrant family: A family where the parents have immigrated to another country as adults. Their
children may or may not be immigrants. Some family members may continue to live in the country of
origin, but still, be significant figures in the life of the child.
 Migrant family: A family that moves regularly to places where they have employment. The most
common form of migrant family is farm workers who move with the crop seasons. Children may have a
relatively stable community of people who move at the same time- or the family may know no one in
each new setting. Military families may lead a migrant life, with frequent relocation, often on short
notice.
FAMILY LEGACIES
No matter who we are, where we live, or what our goals may be, we all have one thing in common: a
heritage.
EMOTIONAL LEGACY
In order to prosper, our children need an enduring sense of security and stability nurtured in an environment
of safety and love. A strong emotional legacy Provides a safe environment in which deep emotional roots
can grow. Fosters confidence through stability. Conveys a tone of trusting support Nurtures a strong sense of
positive identity. Creates a resting place for the soul. Demonstrates unconditional love
SOCIAL LEGACY
To really succeed in life, our children need to learn more than management techniques, accounting, reading,
writing, and geometry. They need to learn the fine art of relating to people. If they learn how to relate well
to others, they'll have an edge in the game of life.
SPIRITUAL LEGACY
We adopt attitudes and beliefs about spiritual matters from one source or another. As parents, we need to
take the initiative and present our faith to our children.
THE LEGACY YOU WANT TO GIVE

You may be asking, "how do I give something I didn't receive? Nobody modeled this stuff for me.
Remember: Hope is not lost. Call it a clan, call it a network, call it a tribe, call it a family. Whatever you call
it, whoever you are, you need one. Jane Howard, "Families"
