I adopted four siblings out of foster care, because I believed that God had called me to do so (never wanting to be a single mother at ALL!). The children pray for a “husband/daddy” every single day, and I believe that God’s man is on the way for us. I homeschool all four as well, but that’s another thread.

Never would I believe God would call me to create life as a single parent the way this singer has done. I think that is a perversion of the way God set up families to be created biologically. Creating twin boys (I’ll bet he paid extra $$$$ for doctors to ensure they were boys — it CAN be done) as a single dad with no mother to whom they need to attach / bond from day one of birth (let alone breastfeeding) is sickening.

Just because it CAN be done medically doesn’t mean it SHOULD be done. I have friends who can’t have babies of their own, so instead of adopting children who need to find families to love them, they “adopt embryos” left over from couples going through IVF, and have another couple’s embryos implanted into the wife so she can be the “birth mother” without being the “biological mother”. Disgusting. I would never tell them so, but it is perverse, especially for Christians. They actually keep in touch with the “biological family” of these adopted embryos they give birth to, and their “created children” are forced to grow up having relationships with them as “extended family”.

Yuck.....but then, I guess some would criticize ME for adopting four sibling orphans as a single mother also. I view it as entirely different, and I make no apologizes whatsoever for our unique and special family.

Hollyweird gets stranger every day, with how they view the reproductive process as “trendy”.

God bless you! No, I would not criticize you for opening your home and your heart to a family of children who probably would not otherwise stay together in a stable home.
