    FAMILY STRUCTURE
    The traditional family structure is considered a family support system that
    involves two married individuals providing care and stability for their
    biological offspring. However, this two-parent, nuclear family has become less
    prevalent, and alternative family forms have become more common. The
    family is created at birth and establishes ties across generations. Those
    generations, the extended family of aunts, uncles, grandparents, and cousins,
    can all hold significant emotional and economic roles for the nuclear family.
    DIFFERENT KINDS OF FAMILY
    STRUCTURES:

    Nuclear family: A family


    unit consisting of at
    most a father, mother,
    and
    dependent children. It is
    considered the
    “traditional family”.
    DIFFERENT KINDS OF FAMILY
    STRUCTURES:
    Extended family: A family
    consisting of parents and
    children, along with
    either 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.
    DIFFERENT KINDS OF FAMILY
    STRUCTURES:

    Stepfamilies: Two
    families brought
    together due to
    divorce, separation,
    and remarriage.
    DIFFERENT KINDS OF FAMILY
    STRUCTURES:
    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.
    DIFFERENT KINDS OF FAMILY
    STRUCTURES:

    Adoptive family: A family


    where one or more of the
    children has been
    adopted. Any structure of
    the family may also be an
    adoptive family.
    DIFFERENT KINDS OF FAMILY
    STRUCTURES:

    Bi-racial or multi-racial family:


    A family where the parents are
    members
    of different racial identity
    groups
    DIFFERENT KINDS OF FAMILY
    STRUCTURES:
    Trans-racial adoptive
    family: A family where the
    adopted child is of a
    different racial identity
    group than the parents.
    DIFFERENT KINDS OF FAMILY
    STRUCTURES:
    Blended family: A
    family that
    consists of
    members from
    two (or more)
    previous families.
    DIFFERENT KINDS OF FAMILY
    STRUCTURES:
    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;
    hospitalization. They remain
    significant members of
    the family.
    DIFFERENT KINDS OF FAMILY
    STRUCTURES:
    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.
    DIFFERENT KINDS OF FAMILY
    STRUCTURES:
    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.
    DIFFERENT KINDS OF FAMILY
    STRUCTURES:
    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.
    DIFFERENT KINDS OF FAMILY
    STRUCTURES:
    Migrant family: A family that moves regularly
    to places where they have
    employment. The most common form of
    migrant family is farmworkers 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 also
    lead a migrant life, with frequent
    relocation, often on short notice.
