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.

Your words!!! Live with them!!!

My stated position is that being raised by teenage parents is not the BEST (I emphasize best since that is the word I used from my original post onward) situation for a child.

Attempting to reword in order to soften what you have earlier stated is dishonest. Period!

Yes, I feel that children are better off raised by a married, stable, heterosexual couple, rather than a single parent, an unmarried couple, a teen couple or a gay couple. I stand by that statement and I don’t think I have wavered from it. I guess my main question to you is why does this make you so angry?

I truly want to understand why this position is so antithetical to your beliefs. Do you think any form of family is fine, there is no distinction between single parents and married parents? Do you honestly think that 17 or 18 is the PREFERABLE age to marry and have children? (I am making a judgment on the BEST or BETTER way, not what might also work out.) If you do, certainly you are entitled to your opinion, but I am a bit surprised to find it on a conservative site.

We occasionally, only occasionally thankfully, get angry phone calls at the adoption agency (directed towards the birth parents) and I have always wanted to understand the mindset behind the anger. I appreciate your giving me that insight.
