Conflicted about Children

Title sums it up. I’ve been with my wife for four years and married for one. I felt led by God to marry my wife and I still stand by that decision. I’m struggling with the issue of children. I adore them and obviously I knew that I couldn’t have children naturally going into my marriage. I specifically am pondering and weighing the issue of raising a child without a father. As typing this, I realize that it sounds very “comphet” influenced that children may have fathers. I don’t necessarily agree with that idea, but I feel odd about bringing a child into the world and knowingly denying it a father. Similarly I feel the same way about adoption.

With the state of the world, I also feel … wrong? About purposefully bringing a child into our situation while the world is a burning hot dumpster fire.

I think I just may be ranting a bit and may delete later, idk.
