    I'm so glad we are moving away from being afraid of discussing bodies. They probably saved a lot of young men's lives by talking about all of this.

    As a child who was fostered. Just know for all you wonderful mother’s and fathers without children there are so many children out there who need wonderful mothers and fathers. A wonderful mother changed my life and regardless of biology she IS NOW AND FOREVER MY MUM. Giving birth is not the only way to become a mother. Don’t loose hope and think of the children who, like me, back then were/are abandoned by their biological Parent(s). I wish you all the luck biologically and will certainly send good luck and vibes your way. But, remember that there are always children who live the same narrative as myself. I hope this brings some hope to you and to all childless parent(s) who are experiencing similar troubles. Xxxxx

    Gosh my heart broke for them at the end. I genuinely believe Olivia supports him regardless, & was upset on his & their future ‘dreams’ behalf. I truly hope he, over time, doesn’t end up pushing her away through his own unnecessary guilt, which I’ve personally seen happen. There’s so many options out there & they’re so incredibly young - not to mention there’s still a chance. Your bond is strong, if you can get through this you can conquer anything. Stay strong guys & blessings to you both xx

    It is so sad what's happened to him and it would be heartbreaking to hear that news and I feel for him and his family and his girlfriend because being told you cant have kids must be so awful. But it's not the end of the world even though it may feel like it. Their are many different ways you can have children without actually needing your sperm. For example Adoption sperm donation, ivf for just a small example what do you think same sex couples do?

      @@samiraxox7364 Yes it is REALY. I know many people who are adopted and they are literally normal families and the children say they just feel like a normal family and how would you know unless you are a parent who adopted or adoptive child and if you are I feel deeply sorry that you don't feel as if you are their child. Their are millions of children not born biologically into families and most of them are just normal people with normal families. Families are made not born hence why their are so many estranged biological families. You dont walk into a family and that your family it takes years and lifetimes to get that bond wich is why alot of people dont feel their biological dad is their dad when they walk back into their lives if they leave them for long period of time and never gain a relationship with them

    If Ben cannot father a child biologically then why doesn’t Chris be his donor. He is the closest biological match to Ben and they share the same medical and family history. Some might say that’s awkward, but it just about getting over a hurdle created by nature. Once done being a father has nothing to do with biology. It’s all about nurturing and what greater gift could a loving brother give than to give his sibling the chance to experience fatherhood.

    There are other ways to become parents… adoption or fostering. These are both incredible things to do for someone else that may need better parents than what the universe gave them or to “replace” a parent or two due to other factors that the child is not responsible for like a parent passing away, illness that prevents them from staying in the game as parents, etc.
    When people stomp their feet and throw a tantrum because they cannot breed is just sickening really; a child still needs parents regardless of whether or not some guy planted his seed.
    Stepping up to become a parent or fostering children when there’s no pressure due to getting a girl pregnant but simply wanting to give freely of his time & love is beyond special and should be celebrated much more than the “oops she got pregnant” crap.
