Don't fall into the nuclear family 'parent trap': What kids need most is love

Kids need stability, security, emotional support and role models,
according to Harley Rotbart, a parenting expert and vice chair
emeritus of pediatrics at [CU School of Medicine and] Children’s
Hospital Colorado. Of note, none of these qualities has anything to do
with the number of parents or caregivers a child has, nor what the
sexual or gender identity might be. Indeed, parents and caregivers
come in all shapes and creeds.
