People can have as many kids as they want, as long as they don’t ask me to pay for them.
As for me, I’ll do my part by first making sure my children have a good daddy who will stick by them and support them.
Yes, that means I’m single and childless :p
Absolutely necessary to have a good Daddy - I am eternally blessed to have a wonderful man as a husband and father - (they are so hard to find, I know.)
Personally I think the women are nuts. But it’s THEIR choice to wear themselves out. Three children were quite enough for me.
I am unable to find a flaw in their reasoning. All I would point out is that if they have a TV in their house that the kids can watch whenever they want, it will undo all their hard work.
Our goal should be to swamp the left with Christian, homeschooled, conservative children. They find NOTHING more horrifying.
Another Delicious Dish moment.
One possible reason could be the cost of adoption.
Currently, my husband and I are looking into adoption and have learned if we go through a private adoption agency we will be spending 20k to 35k or more depending on the agency. That may or may not include costs for the bio-mother’s expenses, travel, and other items that could come up.
Two years ago we attempted to adopt from two different agencies but could not come up with monies they wanted on their schedule. It was heartbreaking.
I don’t know if that is the reason adoption isn’t mentioned but I personally know two families who follow the quiverfull way and both are very supportive of our adoption quest and have never said adoption was against their beliefs.
Setting aside the moral and Christian reasons to do it, imagine the political ramifications if every decent Christian family in America adopted a child (domesticly or from abroad.)
I wonder what happened to Porky?
Many do.
I got that when I was on my third pregnancy. Some people are so ignorant and rude that they should not be let outside unattended.
It's only a problem when Christians do it.

My cousin wants to adopt his stepchildren. Their mother— natural mother— shares this desire. The natural father is long deceased.
My cousin is already “Dad” to them. As far as anyone looking from the outside, he IS their father. He does everything a natural father would, and then additionally helps his wife keep the memory of their natural father alive.
The state did not interfere with the marriage, and does not oversee his step-parenting; however, to “make it all official”, he will have to undergo a background investigation (if they had any idea he might fail that, they ought to come rescue the kids NOW) and pay IIRC $5000 each (and if he tried to “buy” kids for that much on the “open market”, he’d be arrested)!
My wife and I married late in life, and for the sake of sparing a child a genetic abnormality, have decided not to reproduce. Adoption would be our first choice, and passing an investigation would be no problem. The $5000 per unit purchase price is, however, too steep.
So it likely is for most. It’s much less costly to reproduce, if you’ve a mind to do it.
As I grow older and lose my refinement, I’m more inclined to answer, “Don’t you know what causes that?” with “Sure! Don’t you and your husband ever do it?” (I’m going to be a positive embarassment by the time I’m 50, especially with more sons!)
That’s so liberal. “Oh, it’s awful when other people decide to do things that I think are too hard for me! They’re nuts and I hope they’ve ruined their health!”
And you’re a twit. I personally have no desire to have more kids. That is MY DECISION, not yours and not some “movement”.
And whether or not you’ve had kids, having one child after another taxes a woman’s body. Even with the high standard of healthcare we have now, it STILL taxes the body.
I PERSONALLY look forward to the last chick leaving the nest while I’m still young enough to enjoy it!
Fine. Don't. Who said you should?
