    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. That is, a social, emotional
    and spiritual legacy passed on from parent to
    child. Every one of us is passed a heritage, lives
    out a heritage, and gives a heritage to our
    family. It's not an option. Parents always pass to
    their children a legacy … good, bad or some of
    both.
    . FAMILY
    ►"a fundamental social group in society typically consisting
    of one or two parents and their children." 
    Nuclear family: A family consisting of a married man & woman and their
    biological children.
    Extended family:

    ►A family where Grandparents or Aunts and


    Uncles play major roles in the children’s
    upbringing.
    ►
    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. Kinship care families are foster
    families where there is a legal arrangement for the child to be cared for by
    relatives of one of the parents

    Adoptive family: A family where one or more of the children has


    been adopted. Any structure of family may also be an adoptive
    family.

    Bi-racial or multi-racial family: A family where the parents are


    members of different racial identity groups.

    Trans-racial adoptive family: A family where the adopted child is of


    a different racial identity group than the parents.
    ► “Broken home”: A highly derogatory term used to
    describe the homes of children from divorced families.
    Very hurtful.
    ► • Be clear that there is no such thing as a broken
    family. Each family form is what it is and is a family!

    ► Co-custody family: An arrangement where divorced


    parents both have legal responsibility for their children.

    ► 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
    ►Blended family: A family that consists of
    members from two (or more) previous
    families

    ►Gay or Lesbian family: A family where one


    or both of the 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.
    ►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.

    ►Immigrant family: A family where the parents


    have immigrated to the United States 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.
    ►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.

    ►Transnational family: These families live in more than


    one country.
