It takes a village. If you want kids to really have support, the more the merrier.

I wish people would read an article before commenting on it. It specifically addresses this.

Quebec’s ruling does not apply to all possible multi-family structures. Polygamy, where one is married to more than one spouse, is prohibited in Canada. The judgment is also limited to multi-parent families that were together before the child entered the family.
