I have a lot of the same concerns. I'd like them to have a *Christian* marriage to look at. Their daddy is remarried, and they have 2 half siblings already there. I figure no man w/o kids would really be willing to take on 4 more. Oh there's that too..I have FOUR kids. Are there really any men out there who'd take on 4 kids that aren't theirs? But ok, so if there is he probably has kids already. Now we're talking a 2nd ex in the picture (probably) and half siblings and blending a household somehow. Then what if there come along more kids later? Not that I'm really thinking that sounds like a good idea, but things happen. It all makes my head hurt.
That's where I start feeling like a really big failure. I married for life, to a person who married for life, so we could have kids and raise them in an intact home. Each child was conceived with that promise, and my kids still lost out.
