[quote=Anonymous]I believe that having children is not only the needs of the parents, but also good for the existing children. Without this relationship these children would be only children, instead they are not having the opportunity to be a part of a bigger family with siblings, which in my opinion is better for them both now and as they grow up. Sibling relationships are important and honestly, I think it is incredibly sad for a child to be an only child (and boring!).

It would be ideal if all parties got along, unfortunately that is often not the case with divorce. But it shouldn't prevent someone from living a fulfilling life. Yes, it is a shame the first marriage didn't work out, but that doesn't mean that one should not be able to continue on life's journey. There are many families that have been through divorce, and many that have been through second marriages.

What is most important is that the two parents in the relationship are communicative about how all children will be treated so that all the children's needs are met. [/quote]
