no, it doesn't. So your reason for not having off-spring doesn't really have as much to do with the state that our world is in, as it has with your fear of being a failure as a parent? You CAN make a difference for any children you would choose to adopt. The proof can be found in looking around at the children of some of our regulars here on AFF, and in the children you see growing up in alot of churches. Sure, there are those who stray away from what they're taught. But isn't it worth it to at least TRY to help some? (and while you are trying, you will have the amazing bonus of being loved by someone who is your own child. There is nothing in the world like it!)
