I am saying that all the DNA testing that we have does nothing if we have a culture which allows the rampant disregard by both females, males extended families, friends, employers and neighbors to not care one bit about whether a child has a marriage within which to grow up
I don’t associate with people who take marital relations outside of marriage as normal and I have peace. My kids don’t have friends from broken homes and do t work for people who don’t care about family
When the Church discouraged parental abandonment had a purpose - to encourage a stable home for children and a more stable society
People now find that harsh... but they don’t consider that kids are growing up in an extremely harsh atmosphere without a loving marriage to care for them
What good is DNA testing to a kid?
Why is DNA testing helpful in providing a loving home?
Maybe I misunderstood your questioning.
DNA testing does not provide a loving home of course - but it makes it more difficult for a father to deny paternity.
Once paternity is established it would be nice to think a father would marry the mother - but clearly this isn’t the norm nowadays.
Child support - at the very least - should help the mother with basic needs to care for the child but is no substitute for a father.
