All of us are born or adopted into a family. When we make a choice to leave this natal family and choose a mate in order to have children, what kind of family are we becoming part of?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A family of procreation is the family created by an individual when they choose a mate and have children. This is distinct from a family of orientation, which is the family into which an individual is born or adopted. A nuclear family is also a term used to describe the immediate family unit consisting of a mother, father, and their children. However, this answer is not as accurate as choice C, as it does not specifically address the act of choosing a mate to have children. A chosen family, while a valid concept, is not the best choice because it refers to a family unit created through intentional relationships and not necessarily through having children.
