Is it okay to have a child out of wedlock without the benefit of both parents?

Depends on the situation. I had a child out of wedlock. The father was very abusive, so I chose to leave. It was very hard on my daughter not having her dad around.

The same goes for me. I was raised by my dad, not mom. I have always had this emptiness from not having both parents.

I think it is very important to have both parents.

EDIT: One parent can do the "job", but can't fill that void the child feels...no one can.

I noticed in the add. that you said "God Bless", therefore I will assume that you are a Christian? Therefore lets look at God's plan for Man. Adam, then Eve, then Cain and Able. I believe anything that pulls away from that order, will leave a hole in the heart,of the child for the one parent, that is missing in action. Consider the feelings of the child and not your own. Being a mother or father is easy, little wine, music, and Bang a child is on the way. But being a Parent to a child has to do with more than the heat of the moment and hormones going crazy. Much sacrificing of your own wants and desires will be a constant throwing out the window action, in the Parent roll. If you cannot love your partner to move into a Parental position, then tell me that an attitude wouldn't exist towards the opposite sex, and would not have an effect in raising that child. I truly believe that it robs the child of both sex's and their view points on liefs lessons. God Speed to ya.

Yes.

I am a single parent and my daughter doesn't lack for love, attention, or material things. She has asked about her father before, but it was a conversation that ended about as fast as a conversation about what we are having for dinner. Curious questions that she got a sufficient answer for which satisfied her. The problems come when you hide information or tiptoe around the subject

I grew up with both parents for half my life. They divorced when I was about 13. The night me and my mother moved into our own apartment, I told her I was happy it was finally over. They fought physically, argued, they had attitudes all the time, they were frustrated, etc. It was not a happy home even though both parents were there. I think it was even more detrimental to me to be in a home like that, because when it was just me and my mom it was so much better.

Besides...Having a child out of wedlock isn't so bad. It's a lot easier to deal with then...Going through a divorce when a child has lived with both all their life, or losing a parent and then ending up in a single family home, or having both parents there and only one is the nurturer or caregiver to the child.

There are ups and downs whether you have a two parent home or a single parent home.

The such a lot colossal advantage is steadiness. Statistics exhibit that within the US, ninety five% of single father and mother could have cut up earlier than the baby enters university. Even on the lowest degree, no less than 50% of married father and mother are nonetheless in combination. Despite the truth that illegitimacy isn't the social pariah that it as soon as used to be, many kids DO believe rejected via others, or simply 'no longer well ample.' However, if you're no longer dedicated to the opposite individual and visa versa, I simply do not see getting married as a feasible choice. Children should not must develop up in houses wherein there's not anything however combating or loss of love or appreciate among the adults. Finally, there are authorized disorders. Fathers of youngsters which can be born out of wedlock can and nonetheless do customarily exclude the ones kids from their wills. While they may be able to additionally exclude their authentic kids, they customarily have much less of tight bond with the child whose mom used to be in no way married to them. They aren't allowed to exclude baby aid to 18 nonetheless. Courts aren't required to incorporate out-of-wedlock kids in trusts both (besides for court docket ordered aid of a minor). Couples advantage from joined assets adding such matters as social protection, well being coverage and lifestyles coverage, even supposing they cut up up later.

Both parents are supposed to be there for their children and work together to raise them. The Catholic Church objects to sex outside of marriage. It's best to marry the person because there's a better chance of him staying with you for life rather them "trying him out" and, if you don't like him, give him back (just like you would if you returned something to a store; hopefully you understand my example. If you truly love each other, you will both wait until marriage to have a child. After all, you want to set a good example for your kids. Read the Catholic Bible along with the Catechism of the Catholic Church, and talk to a Catholic priest. All of this will help you, especially the Catechism, because it explains all lot of issues like divorce and marriage and what they mean, etc. The Catholic Bible has foot notes at the bottom of the pages explaining what you just read. Be careful on how you read it, though. For example, if you come across John 3:3 look at the page and see if you can find 3:3. Not everything you read has footnotes, though, because it's self-explanatory. Before you ignore my answers and advise, please read the books and be open to them.

It happens all the time, unfortunately. I think it's important for a child to have both parents whenever possible. In cases of abuse, however, then to get rid of the abuser is obviously in the child's best interest. I wish people would give a little more consideration to the situations they bring children into.

I think its ideal for a person to grow up in a home with both parents. However, that's not always an option, and its not easy being a single mom*. I applaud anyone who can do the job of both parents and do it well.

Edit -- *Or a single dad! I didn't mean to leave out the men who also step up to the plate.

Because it is so easy to avoid pregnancy, I think one should decide that issue before becoming pregnant. Personally, I think a two parent home with parents married to each other creates the most stable environment.

In my case, having my father in my home would have been detrimental to me. Not everyone has the house with the white picket fence. People do what they have to, and you shouldn't judge.

it is not ok but has become acceptable !

when i was pregnant out of wed lock i was locked away and baby taken from me !!
