Line 1:
Line 1: − A '''parent''' is a person who, in the case of [[women]], gives birth to offspring or, in the case of [[men]], contributes genetic material to their offspring. In nearly all human cultures it is the responsibility of the parents to raise their offspring. Parents traditionally have come in pairs, usually a man or a woman. It is not uncommon however for there to be single parents, a sole woman or man raising their children. This could be due to a number of different factors such as the death of one parent or [[divorce]]. In some parts of the world there are same sex parent couples; two men or two women have the responsibility of raising their offspring. Rarer cases include multiple parents, however these are very few in number. − Parents can either take on the responsibility of raising their offspring through biological creation, [[adoption]] (this is the case for same sex parenting) or informally given the role from close friends or family since their may not be able to adequately raise their own offspring. − − [[Category:Family]]
