Lesbians raise 7 kids in small-town Idaho
Marsha and Angel Bennett just had triplets, and now raise seven kids in Rathdrum, Idaho. It's a small town in conservative Northern Idaho, but the town banded together to support the women. About 150 people attended their commitment ceremony a year ago. Friends held a "diaper drive" before the arrival of the triplets. Neighbors offered a helping hand. "We know of a few couples in the area that have children from previous relationships and haven´t had a problem," Marsha says. Four of the couple's children are Marsha's from a previous relationship. The biggest challenge Angel and Marsha face isn't gaining acceptance; it's parenting seven children.
