If your marrried the kids would have a real mother and father and not suffer the stigma of having their parents just "shacking up" as opposed to being wed.
Heck even if the two of you are lesbians, you can marry now. Its the law of the land. Get on it and get married!
The "stigma" you mention only exists now in the minds of a small percentage of individuals, many of whom also whine about immigrants, the people on welfare, and, to a lesser extent, women working.
Many of those I refer to above would have a problem with a single woman in her early thirties, with no kids, who is putting her career before anything else.
Marriage, especially as a religious construct, has little meaning in a modern and fast changing world.
