My partner and I r getting married in 3 months time. We recently found out we have little chance of ever getting pregnant even with the help of ivf. I'm ready to move on and accept the fact of life without children even though it breaks my heart but my partner can't and can't c a future with out them. Will we have children? If so how many and how soon? Xx

"Little chance" is not the same as no chance, but you may need to prepare yourselves mentally and emotionally for not having children together in the natural way as a result of having sexual relations together. A pastor or professional counselor may be able to help with the inner adjustments to this matter.

But all is not lost. In my own family, all three children of one couple are adopted. They are a happy family; you would never know that the children were not born the "natural" way.

This is the case with many, many couples. There are lots of kids out there who will be born in the near future to mothers who are not prepared to keep and provide for them. These kids need loving parents and homes.
