Furthermore, while an intact family composed
of two parents
of the opposite sex and their biological
child or
children may provide the best standard family unit in society (and should, therefore, be given support), we would be naive and cruel to dismiss the
possibility that differently configured families (e.g., families with single parents or homosexual parents or
adopted children) may produce family situations that are as good as, or, in some cases, better than, those
of families that fit the standard.
