I am a scientist. We are talking on two different planes. Opinion vs. Fact. I can value both, though.
I agree that it is possible for two loving people to be able to raise a child. Come on, Rambler, even a scientist has to know that the best thing for a child is a mom and a dad. Do you have the stats on prisoners? I think it is something like 80% have one thing in common -- no dad to serve as a role model. A man and a woman really do bring something different that a child needs.
