I know several women who are adoptive parents. They would have loved to have been married, but have not been fortunate. They are wonderful, Christian women, who have made good homes for orphans. Their children are thriving. It’s easy to be judgmental of others’ decisions. If you have ever been to an orphanage in a third-world country, you would see the circumstances these children live under. These kids deserve a family. It is hardly selfish to adopt a child.
Ok, we’ll leave it here. I don’t want to hear any criticism then from conservatives when the Hollywood types have “decor” children while putting their career first. And no child can completely “thrive” with one parent. They can get by, they can do ok. But if God meant for there to be one-parent households, I think He could have structured it that way.
