Here's a thought, fellas: if the world is too bad to bring a little one of your own into, why not do something to make it a little better world - ADOPT. There are children out there who are already born into this corrupt world. You can let them grow up in the foster system and thereby become even more corrupt. Or you can reach out to them and bring them into a home where you have the option of teaching them better morals, Christian living and a higher path. Even if you only make a difference for one or two children, at least you would have made a difference for one or two. Just a thought
