They didn't choose to have their saving set back by however long because their child got sick.

Children are very sympathetic and charismatic spokespeople for the type of help we can render one another, but choosing to create them does not and should not absolve one of responsibility or provide some free insurance against catastrophes.
- baldfat 8y agoParent poster here. I should have stated we took in 3 children in Foster Care (One was a kid at church that was abused and needed a home and from June to December we had three siblings) So we certainly choose this for our lives and I am glad we did. Two of them graduated from college and one of them is serving in the Middle East in the National Guard.
