الوالدان
You can say الوالدان when talking about a father and a mother (ex. my parents = والداي). If they were fathers and mothers in plural, then you would better say الآباء والأمهات.

الوالدان
اعتقد ان كلمة الوالدان افضل من الابوان حيث انه في اعتقادى ان الوالدان تشمل الوالد والوالدة فى الوقت الذى لاتنص فيه كلمة الابوان على الوالدة والله اعلم.
