Family of Orientation and Family of Procreation

This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.

State

A family of orientation is the family a person is born into; a family of procreation is one formed through marriage.

Show

An adult's parents and siblings are their family of orientation; their spouse and children are their family of procreation.

Watch for

Students often treat the terms as sorting people into one family or the other; one person occupies both simultaneously.
