I haven't been their either, so I can't really understand the situation.

well, I do believe it can happen.
My mother graduated from High School with honors and had my oldest sister 3 months later. She hid her pregnancy from her parents until after graduation....she was really little. She was raised in an upper middle class family where in the 40's, her siblings were college educated. My grandmother was Apostolic, but only came into the faith as an adult when her children were older. My mother never served the Lord as a teen... but was a popular student involved in honor society, cheerleading... So.. it can and does happen in the best of families.
My mother came to the Lord after my sister was born... she was musically talented and began directing choir/singing/playing piano in church.
She met and married a handsome young minister...
they married I think in 1955... evangilized all over the country in the 50's and pastored for over 40 years. They went on to have 4 more children...and their youngest now pastors. I consider my pentecostal heritage a wonderful thing.
So, yep... there are men who are willing to marry women with children, even back in the 50s when things like this were almost unheard of and really shameful.
God can have wonderful plan for anyone who will devote their life to him and wait on him for the right person.
Personally however, I am the single divorced mom of three girls..raising now a 4th... and I have no intentions of marrying...or even trying to seriously date until my girls are raised. No way would I want to add a man to this mix.. lol
