 The blessing of children is rewarding for most that, like you mention, that put the positive effort in. I hope it becomes easier for people to find suitable partners and create stable/long-lasting relationships that will rear healthy children. BTC is hope for a form of economic growth to give ease to individuals struggling or worried about providing an adequate life for children. I see many childless patients suffer with loneliness or lack of support for basic needs. If that’s not in the cards for someone, they can be kind to other children, help communities, friends, and family to get that support in the future. It’s important to appoint one or two individuals for that support and to apportion wealth/compensation to them. It is a lot to ask someone to care for one in a helpless or challenging state of health.
