Admin	Time clock Posted : 25 Oct, 2011 02:34 PM I'm curious to see how everyone deals with their desire to have a family. Sometimes it seems that there is more pressure to have children than even find the *right* mate. So my questions are: 1.) Do you 'settle' in looking for a mate - to have a family sooner. 2.) Do you consider adopting or IVF and have kids on your own? 3.) What helps settle your *time clock* nerves? I must say that this is a theory statement only, something of curiousity. :) Post Reply

View Profile History	Time clock Posted : 26 Oct, 2011 05:02 PM Honestly, I have never had the desire to have kids. I have been told that I spoil my dogs rotten, thus I would be a good mom. Plus, I am okay dealing with kids. I do not mind adopting if I marry someone that really wants a child, just not one in the diaper phase. Post Reply

I just have to trust that if I'm supposed to have biological children, God will provide a husband before it's too late. The whole biological time clock issue is definitely something that I think about. I'm 28 now, and I'll be 29 in May; the risk of having children will go up significantly over the next few years, and in another 10-12 years, I will be to the age where I have to decide if it's worth the risk to try to have a child...and it's not just my own health I would have to consider, since the risk of birth defects also increases. However, as much as I want to have children and be a mother, I'm slowly realizing that it's probably not going to happen. I'm not going to settle for "just anyone" as a husband just because I want children. Not that there is anyone to settle for...kinda hard to settle when there are NO options at the moment, good or bad. Neither would I consider having a child on my own; I think that it is best for children to be raised in a home with two parents if at all possible. Same goes for adopting a child (though I'd consider adoption if I get married too late to have biological children.) I will say, though, nothing makes me quite as upset as having an older person (man or woman) who is married tell me, "You really ought to find someone to marry pretty soon...your biological clock is ticking, you know." I KNOW. I don't need to be reminded, and it's not like I can just wave my magic fairy wand and make a husband appear out of thin air. OK. Rant over. :rolleyes: Post Reply
MyCrownIsGod View Profile History	Time clock Posted : 26 Oct, 2011 11:00 PM I would love to have children, and the Lord has promised me a son and daughters. I am waiting on God to bring me the right man He has for me. I will not, and can not, go against what God has told me and settled for someone other than the man God has destined me to be with. I will wait for however long I have to wait, and I know that there will come a day when God will bless me with the husband and family He promised me, and it will be well worth the time I have spent in prayer over my husband, our children and our futures.

View Profile History	Time clock Posted : 28 Oct, 2011 04:50 AM I have written about this subject in the past and I ask me sometimes if kids are before God ? I can�t see it as God told us that it is important to make kids, if it was so should He have created all men and women to be parents but we know there is many that can�t be a genetic parent. If people should do what God tell us so should we that have money adopt at least one child that have no parents or am born in a poor country. God�s meaning when He created Adam and Eve was not that He looked just there and then. God can see the future and He knew that there will be kids without parents so he created a couple of parents, to take care of the earth so no child should grow up without food or parents. It is not Godly as we do today to create kids of our own, it is selfish if we can�t also bring in one suffering child in our home. God have created suffering to see how we that am wealthy handle the suffering in this world. It�s on us people to be open for needs and not only send money but also go in action. It is humans that have made limitation for adoption so in my age is it hard to adopt and many countries doesn�t accept a single parents if they are not very famouse and full of money. We don�t take care of the earth as God wanted it from the start. If there was no limits for adoption should it not be such rush to find a partner if a person was thinking right and not care for getting genetic babies..... people are so selfish and only thinking about themself and grab what ever comes there way to take....mine, mine, mine.... Do what God said we should do from the start and be fruitful in spreading the word to all over the world so more people will be God�s kids and not lost kids. Share your success and wealthness to more than just your closest family. Amen Post Reply
View Profile History	Time clock Posted : 28 Oct, 2011 05:03 AM I actually believe that all men and women were created to have children. That was God's idea, but because of the fall of man, sickness, etc. came into the world. This is why some people can't genetically have children. Post Reply
EverybodyNeedsFriend View Profile History	Time clock Posted : 31 Oct, 2011 05:35 AM I think its better to have one parent than no parent...so I would adopt even if single if I was able to properly care for the/my child. So, 1) I definitely wouldn't hurry and get married because I want kids. and 2) I definitely would adopt even if I were single, if it was feasible and within my means to supply the child a happy childhood/teen-hood.
