I apologize as well, my opinion is partly colored by dealing with a very overly-controlling family the first 19 years of my life, so I am less inclined to place trust in the hands of others when it comes to my life choices.
I, of course, wish you the absolute best, and hope your children find people they can be happy with for the rest of their lives. We may disagree about things, but we are all human beings and I believe in the inherent good of our kind.
Blessings to you and yours.
