Answer 1

The impact of the following factors on the family :

1. Adoption - Adoption is a humanity rich behaviour . It has positive and negative impact on the family but it depends on the family members how they perceive it . In some families adoption creates huge fight because of other family members denial to accept a non blood related child and results in separation . On the other hand , in some families it's brings happiness. It's a dream come for a couple who don't have a baby .

2. Divorce - Divorce has negative impact on the family . The most affected one are the children's . Divorce is separation of the husband and wife . Due to divorce , the children's life gets spoiled the most as there would be no proper growth and development , children's get engaged in antisocial activities etc . And also the couple's are psychologically broken . They need to get out of this and start their life ahead .

3. Single parenting - Single parenting affects the family negatively . When there is loss of a parent either mother or father ,the family gets incomplete and the children's life is affected the most . They need the love and caring of both parents to grow and develop . Single parenting makes it difficult for the parent to take care of the children ,home etc because single parent has to work also and take care of the children's and home . Sometimes grandparents are not there to take care because either they will be too sick or died

4. Reconstituted families - reconstituted families have negative as well as positive impact . In some separated families ,when reconstitution occurs it become a complete family and they enjoy the life . But in some other families , when reconstitution occurs ,it leads to fight ,hue and cry because of the entry of second member in the family .
