Kids Need Moms ... And Dads

I came across this opinion piece in the Washington Post recently. It's the story of a young woman, conceived with donated sperm from an anonymous man nearly two decades ago.

The saga of cyro-kids is turning out to be a tale that emphasises the importance of both mothers and especially fathers in the home. The gist of this article (and recent studies) is that kids need both of their parents in order to grow and mature properly. A mother and a father inside the home goes a long way toward raising well-adjusted children.

Moms and Dads, the Bible says that we are to train up our children in the ways that we want them to go. If one of you is missing from the picture, your children are only getting half of that training.

And, from what the article and the study I've linked suggest, these kids aren't too thrilled when we abandon them.
