Why did you have babies?

Post Reply New Topic

I'm diagnosed Level 2 and ADHD so I guess I'm low functioning compared to others.

I don't think I ruined my parents' lives.

I've also been a single mum to my Autistic and ADHD / Gifted daughter since she was six months old.
She's almost 25 now and still lives with me full time like a sister / best friend.

She also has a permanent disability from a physical illness. Oh, and Epilepsy.

And PTSD.

And MDD / Agoraphobia.

She's a chef and she has published books.

It's all good.



I fostered / adopted a boy with ODD, ADHD and learning disabilities when he was 3. His parents were addicts so he was a drug baby too. He's grown up and thriving, making tons of money and living independently since he was 18. He's travelled the world on his own and he lives on another continent now, earning a fortune. He's doing great, thanks, and he's the happiest most successful / talented / self-sufficient young man I know.

Yes there were some rough times when he was young, but I don't regret a minute of it.

Incidentally no, I didn't have the luxury to homeschool either of my kids. I worked full time as an Autistic ADHD single mother from the time they were babies. One child with ASD / ADHD, one with ODD / ADHD.

I made it work.

They both turned out to be incredible people.




My daughter and I are both diagnosed combined-type ADHD (meaning ADD & ADHD).
Our assessments took about 20 hours each, but yes girls can have ADHD.




I don't want my children to struggle. That's why I was a dedicated parent, and I'm sure Ettina will be one too.

(It doesn't make me or anyone else superior. It makes us good parents.)

She has Lupus Nephritis.

Her immune system is attacking her joints and her organs, particularly her kidneys.

It can't be cured and it's considered a permanent physical disability.

Her dad sued her anyway.

But aren’t you a parent to her as soon as she comes out of you why after 6 months? Is she your own child? Or adopted?

I was a reluctant father right up until the moment the doctor put my daughter into my hands, at which point I experienced a change in feelings of my own. Suddenly I understood that I loved this thing more than anything else in the world, more than myself, and that I had to protect it at all costs.

Did you get your genetics tested?

I want kids because I want to be deacon possibly and a elder for sure in the church of Christ and I want Jesus to decide how many kids i have not birth control and I am Quiverfull.I also just always pictured myself as a husband father and a family man and its something I always wanted and I still want it.However I currently dont have kids because I am saving myself for marriage and I am a virgin.

How many kids do you need to have if you are Quiverfull?
