You sound like you would be a great father. When the time is right, look into adoption. I know if you were in my ward, my friends and I would help you to raise that child as a community. I live in Southern CA. Hell, if you’re close I could help you. You deserve all the joys a child can bring. Pray about it.

@ LDSQuigley

Thanks for stopping by, I’m glad you’ve found the site useful. Yep there are gays everywhere these days, even in the Church. :-)

Your website has really opened my eyes to people living in the church who are trying to deal with a hard trial in their life. I have commented on your site to many of my friends and they have all responded as I did when I originally stumbled across your blog “Gays in the church?” After reading several of your posts I have become ashamed by my lack of understanding. Of course Jesus loves each of us, and so should we. I commend you for being the strong person that you are and look forward to future posts.

(I watch Ugly Betty for the same reason you watched Resident Evil)

As for thinking of the future, I make long term plans, but I think RARELY on them, and work on the short term goals, here to next year, because like you, for some reason, the thought of long-term terrifies and depresses me.

And it’s not Miki–or the boys–it’s just life.

There was a man who made headlines here in Norway a couple years ago when he became the first single man to adopt. It’s very difficult to adopt when single, but a few women had managed to get approved. He was the first man to do so and he adopted a little boy from China. One of my co-workers actually knew him personally and said how great of a dad he was and how happy the little boy seemed.

When adoption isn’t an option, one of the greatest things you can do is sponsor a child. World Vision is my favourite of such organizations because you have personal contact with children and you can exchange letters, pictures, even small packages with them. When I was living in Canada, I used to sponsor a young girl from Haiti and I loved doing it. She loved getting my letters and I loved getting hers. I was feeling pretty lonely at that time in my life and it helped to fill a void. 30 bucks a month was a small price to pay for the joy, not to mention the help that she and her family were getting because of it.

These days you don’t need a wife (or a husband) to have a family. There are lots of unwanted children who would greatly benefit from a loving home environment that you could provide.

Yes, ideally children should be raised with a mother and a father in a loving home environment. But having just a father in a loving home environment is still tons better than many of the two parent home environments our society has to offer.
