These actions will have far-reaching and damaging consequences for early care and education in communities across the country. Babies can't wait for resources. Their needs are now. This is the foundation for a thriving future. 3/5

But by now your grown relatives should know how to control their Big Emotions when you casually mention that it's perfectly ok for children to have different types of families: one mom and one dad, one mom, one dad, two dads, two moms, grandparents-as-parents, being raised by other relatives. 2/3
