- I saw this on TV. There was at least on counter-example that they showed
- which stated that it was very detrimental to her social skill development
- and her relationships with other kids. There were most certainly others
- that were out there that weren't presented. I was skeptical about what I
- saw because there wasn't enough presented in what I saw. Also, in the
- TV spot that I saw there were no male-male families or any males raised
- by female-female families. I wondered if the study contained any analysis
- on these families.
