I agree with many people, when looking at the world times, these are critical times hard to deal with.  Our children today deal with more things at an early age than ever before.  It really takes dedicated parents to raise a child decently.  At age 27 I am just coming into my child bearing years, but I choose instead to mentor the youth that are already here. So many children are orphans both physically and emotionally.  I know in my heart, I'll find my children amongst these.
