Final thoughts
What children need are fathers who love them and their mothers and provide the support they need to thrive.

If you are in a sexual relationship with a woman you don’t love you are putting yourself and the baby that might result at risk. If you are not ready to be a father, for goodness sake, use birth control. But birth control is not 100% effective. When you have sex with someone, you might be facing a lifetime consequence with a woman you don’t want in your life.

If you do love the woman and have made a lifetime commitment to her and your future children, don’t allow your fears of becoming a father make you think you are not ready. Take a deep breath and make the bold move. The road can be rocky at times, but the lifetime rewards can make the journey worth the effort.
