Berk, as a man, I can't believe you would condone the cutting off of a father from his child's life.

Lots of variables in a deal like this.

Question is, would she want to take on raising my three kids?

Where's the blender? I feel a smoothie comin' on!

I think if she doesn't want him to be bothered by her kids, she should accept his

I don't think the thought of cutting the father out excites us. We are just saying if you know the type of man he is, why hurt your child more. When they are older and ask then tell them and let them decide if they want him in their life.

I'm a single divorced Apostolic male who is predominantly raising 2 children ...

I think the societal reality of blended families in the Apostolic church is becoming more prevalent.

It's difficult to find someone who is single w/ no kids to be interested in taking on more than their spouse ... but this scenario is possible also ... takes a special man or woman to commit to this, however.

I could not have put it better myself!!!!!! I'd be happy to take on kids. However, I love them, and I think you have to have a special kind of heart to do so.

Don't tell the guy? Surely you aren't advocating telling lies on a Christian forum, are you?

I wasn't payin much attention to what was written, and to my own answer. I clarified it via pm. They are free to post what I wrote privately. If they don't, well....

Like others have already posted, it would have to depend on the situation and circumstances with the other parent. I think the age of the child/children would factor in as well. It is definitely something that would have to be extensively talked out before a marriage takes place.
