Difficult moral arguement.
For the record, I agree with the comment that there are plenty of children crying out for adoption. I have a friend who is in no way maternal, doesn't want her own kids, BUT has stated that in the unlikely event that she changed her mind, she would go down the adoption route. I would too, and transfer that logic to dogs and cats as well...

Reading between the lines, so many people seem to have kids so that there's someone to look after them when they're older... might this be a consideration in this case? I sincerely hope not.

Your last comment "he loves her very much and so just wants to give her what she wants" - completely the wrong reason to bring a life into the world, as has been stated many times before. Both parents should want it equally; it appears that the balance is somewhat skewed.

But that's just my initial thoughts on the subject - obviously I don't know the people involved. Like so many others (and I'm glad I'm not alone) I just don't understand this apparent biological urge to have your own kids when there are so many out there crying out to be loved - or maybe the adoption process is even more stressful than trying to conceive naturally or with assistance.

Good luck to them, whatever happens.
