And yet, I don’t feel any lack. I have two nieces who call me “Dad” because their own don’t love them. I have helped three nieces and nephews reach adulthood. I have another nephew who was just born and giggles at my voice.
And, as much as I don’t have the experience to say how my life would be different with a child, you appear to lack the experience to know how your life would be different without a child.
I have over 25 years of childless adult life, an experience many of my parent acquaintances don’t - can’t - have. It’s been a fulfilling life.
- willcipriano 5y agoIf they call you dad, and you helped raise them, you are a father. Adopting kids isn't being childless.
- falcolas 5y agoI didn’t adopt them, they still lived with their single mother. That said, I appreciate the sentiment. Thank you. :)
