A stable, loving, two-parent home is the best environment to raise a child. I see comments about where it didn't work for some but in all truth it sounds like those people didn't make the best judgement in picking a spouse or a father for their children.
I understand we all make mistakes but please don't try to act like a stable, loving, two-parent (original parents) is not best for a child.
The original parents would be best for the children IF they truly are loving and stable. That is obviously not the case if the parents chose to divorce. Loving, stable adults would not chose to divorce!
