[quote=njtosd]Ok – nobody responded to my earlier point, and I’m curious as to why not (maybe i’m boring . . .). Would the people on this board be ok if the family was polygamous (i.e. more than 2 people)? If all the members of the family are fine with it, shouldn’t that be ok to include in a children’s book?[/quote]

Polygamists are not adopting, or they are? Has that gone somewhat mainstream?
Does the law support it?

I want my kids to be able to deal with the actual world, not one someone wants ,or has invented in some compare and contrast story that ultimately isn’t relevant.
Lesbians adopt children. Men marry men. Those things are prevalent.

It isn’t really a matter of what I think is right or wrong. I think a lot of things are right and wrong.
