Explain the difference between families of orientation and families of procreation

What will be an ideal response?


The family of orientation is the family into which a person is born and in which early

socialization usually takes place. By contrast, the family of procreation is the family

that a person forms by having or adopting children. In the United States, although many

young people leave their family of orientation as they reach adulthood, finish school,

and/or get married, recent studies have found that many people maintain family ties

across generations, particularly as older persons remain actively involved in

relationships with their adult children. Both families of orientation and of procreation

may include both blood and legal relationships.
