The Sperm-Donor Kids Are Not Really All Right
A new study shows they suffer.

...we have an exploration of how children born from such procedures feel, because in fact it turns out that their feelings about their origins are a lot more complicated than people think.

Worth a read. Sort of a shallow article, but has some interesting points.

I’m going to include marriage as part of parenting, if that’s all right.

FOR BETTER NOT FOR WORSE
A Manual of Christian Matrimony
by
WALTER A. MAIER, PH. D.

Concordia Theological Seminary
Editor, The Walther League Messenger

Third Revised Edition (written in 1935)

In the section titled: The Church’s Marriage Code is the following sensible advice:

7) In the choice of a companion for life the decisive factor should not be wealth, physical attraction, higher education, and social position, but common devotion to the one Lord and Savior, the harmony of religious oneness. With the exception of the close degrees of relationship within which a Christian may not marry, there are no restrictions in the choice of husband or wife. A general compatibility of age, culture, and race is normally essential for sustained happiness.
