Of course it is not in the best interests of a child to be raised by teens, no matter what the support system.

As a blanket statement of fact, that has to be one of the most ridiculous statements EVER made.

There are bad teen parents and there are good teen parents.

There are bad mature parents and there are good mature parents.

There are teen parents that are more mature than middle-aged parents.

Is life more difficult for teen parents?...as a rule, yes.

But, to say, point blank, that it is better for a child, born to a teen, to be adopted out is, point blank, asinine. Period. IMO.

There seems to be a feeling that adoptive parents are somehow “second best”, that it is better to be with blood relatives under most any circumstances. I simply do not believe that.

It is better for a child to be raised by a stable married couple than by teenagers, even if they are married. I stand by that generality.
