Do children need a father and a mother in order to have a healthy upbringing?
No, I don't think the gender or number of your parent(s)s guarantees a healthy upbringing. I think a child needs at least one loving, reliable, alert, and informed caregiver who wants to be a parent and makes them feel safe, as well as access to quality healthcare and education from other adults who are trustworthy.
