Please don't beat yourself up over this (and i'm sure no one on AU will beat you up over it). Some people were meant to have children and others are not. If it is God's will then so shall it be.
13 years ago i remember getting a phone call from a casual fling telling me she was pregnant. I thought my world was over (i even hoped she would have an abortion, for which i have repented). Turns out it was one of my greatest blessings from God along with my other 2 beautiful offspring.
My sister and her husband would be awesome parents but are unfortunately unable to have any, even after 3 rounds of very expensive IVF. That in no way makes them a failure in life.
I believe everything happens for a reason even if we don't realize what it is at the time (or we might never innerstand why it happened or didn't happen) as it is God's plan and it is divine.
I am sure if it is God's will, you will be an AWESOME parent.
Walk by FAITH not by sight

Thank you Tom 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻💗🤗

Don’t feel bad. I know quite a few people who never had kids. My current husband being one of them. He got my 3 kids and 2 grands the day he married me. The oldest 2 were grown and not very present, but he raised the youngest through the teenage years and walked her “across the rock” when she got married. Now she has a little girl and he’s over the moon being PaPa D!

All that to say. The kids you’re supposed to have, whether by birth or otherwise, will find you.

It’s gonna be amazing!

Thank you Anna!!!! I loved reading what you shared & I’m grateful for your encouraging words!!!! I’ll be a late starter (38 now) but never too late I believe. Kids please come find me!!! Ideally through my womb God willing!!! Tbh we haven’t been trying just yet but we’re really ready to start now!
🙏🏻🤗💓

Essentially the same story here. Many of us im sure. Believed the lie that the World was way too overpopulated and I was also part selfish but that selfishness comes with a loneliness after a while. I do have 3 adult “step-kids” with my fiance though. I hope someday I can help them more in life and instill good lessons etc.

Many blessing to you in your future, Patriot. 🙏

Omg thank you so much for sharing, and relating, helping me not feel alone. To me you are a parent via your step children & God bless you, & even if you weren’t, we should never feel ashamed. For those same reasons you shared, I was also holding off. [Their] manipulations & the dark layer of poop vibe & poop circumstance [they’ve] laid on the world is real. But I believe we’re smashing through it with our light, more & more as we gain confidence in ourselves & share our love with each other & the world, without tolerating [their] poop anymore!!! 🙏🏻💓🤗

You will be a wonderful mother LHA💛

🥲🙏🏻💗 Thank you Bee!!! I pray so!!!
