1. What are some “good” reasons to decide to give birth to a child? When is the time right, and what needs to be in place in an ideal situation?
I would have never thought that there was an actual good reason to just give birth to a child. I suppose if it were certain circumstances where a woman could not have a child and wanted a surrogate mother, that’s a good reason to have another woman give birth to a child. And don’t get me wrong, I love children and I can’t wait to have them but I never thought there would be a good reason besides “I want something cute to hold onto all day.” I do believe there are right and wrong times to have babies though. First and most important, both potential parents WANT to have a baby. I also believe the parents should be financially stable with solid jobs. Sometimes it doesn’t happen that way and the children turn out perfectly fine, but it’s just something I would want before I have children.
2. What personal qualities should a parent have that will make them able to raise a child in an appropriate and positive manner? Explain each just a bit.
I think a parent should be a loving and caring person. If the parents aren’t loving and caring, they may not care for the child properly. Also, I think the parents should be calm and happy. If parents cannot stay calm and happy, they will have a hard time being patient and babies of course need patient caregivers.
