Yes, I know there are tons of "what if..." scenarios, I agree with Ginger that being married would be the ideal situation. Having both a loving mother and father who are both committed to the marriage and family is best.
Other important factors:
~ LOVE (for the couple, for the kids, etc.)
~ finances. I'm not saying you must be rich, but you should be able to at least provide basic necessities (food, shelter, clothing, healthcare, etc.).
~ communication with your partner. Discuss things like religion, disipline methods, etc.
