IMO it's all about patience right now and whether you can wait to have your own child. Having children can be a wonderful thing for you, but it can be an even more wonderful for the child, to have both mother AND father in their life. I grew up without a father, not because my mother or I wanted to, but because of an untimely death. I grew up without a father since the age of 6 and i wish many days that i had a father that was there with me. Granted it was no ones fault in this situation, but you have the choice that you can make, to not forsake your child the opportunity and privilege, that you can control to have that father in their life.
