In the beginning, I thought of filling the void left in my daughter’s lives by not having a woman to turn to. I believed my shortcomings as a male prevented me from giving them all they needed but could only get from a member of their own sex. Any woman that was eager to offer herself up to fill that position became an automatic candidate for future motherhood. And all the better for me if they had no ‘baggage’ of their own so they could put all their effort and concentration into just my children.

There is no avoiding the possibility that "it may not work out" but there are things we can and should do to insure the sanctity and harmony of our home and our children while also doing what’s best for us...
