You can pray for whatever you like. You can wish your life to be however you wish it to be. Just be positive, you'll achieve it.

I don't think it is wrong but I wouldn't agree with it. I think for the child's sake, it would be best to have both parents actively present and involved. Not all marriages and families work but better to try HARD before you bring a child into the world without that sense of family. I know there is more than one kind of family though but I just believe ideally every child wants a good mom AND a good dad.
Adoption is an option though. These kids need someone who loves them period. I think adoption is important and can be a good option for people like you who want to experience parenthood. I know you may want to experience carrying a child. So I would say just pray about which way to go. It will come to you. This may not be the right time either way. Good Luck!!!!!!!!!!!

I think you should do what your heart tells you.
But ask this question, do I want a partner or a partner to give me kids?
If it's the first, wait for that partner and then when you meet him, "kids" it's a subject to be discussed by two and that could happen or not. (how can you decide to have kids with someone if you haven't met him yet and don't even know what he thinks, feels or wants in relation to having kids?)
If you want a partner to give you kids, go straight to the sperm bank. It will be simpler and more honest for you and for the one who still hasn't found you. Because if you answer this one, you want kids, you really don't care with who. And it's better to have a kid on your own with love, than to marry someone already with the kid issue on the table (you want one and that's that) and after a while one of you will say enough is enough and the kid will have to live in all that confusion and arguments and end up with divorced parents.

stop praying for either one ... sheesh! Pray for peace of mind. Learn how to love yourself and how to be content with the person you are, as you are. The person in the mirror is the one who is responsible for your happiness. Get happy first with yourself. Then you will find potential mates showing interest in you. Children will be just around the corner.
The "right" partner or all the kids in the world won't make you happy. If you are a happy person, you will find that so much love is bursting from your heart that the "right partner" will be totally attracted to you.

Pray for whatever you want, but it's still God's will. It still up to Him what will happen in your life. What's so wrong with NOT having children? Do you really WANT the burden of being a single parent? Even in you have enough money, the child needs to be part of family.
Sorry, I'm just a little cranky.
What about foster kids?

If you pray for kids first, that would kinda make you downright straight doing your part to exercise your social responsibility ie propagating. Very commendable. However, not finding the right partner yet just means that your focus could be for other things that are just as commendable as in your social responsibility towards your family, society, community and nation. Who knows, in doing so, a partner may pop by and ideally matcheable cos you guys would be doing that similar-something-commendable thingy together, gelling up the bond first and embark on a beautiful journey towards getting the kids. Just a thought...

It's very difficult to be a single parent. Don't even consider it if you don't make enough money to support the baby on your own. Instead of praying for a baby, why not just pray for what God knows is best for you. Put your life in his hands. Everything will work out.

Think about your reasoning for having a child. If you want to pray, then pray for what you want. Talk it over with your local religious leader. Make sure you really know what you're looking for. If you're just lonely, waiting for someone to love you, you're going to be waiting quite awhile. Get out there, make friends, talk to people, and eventually someone wil find you. If you really just want to help make a difference or if you feel up to the responsability to raise a child, there's always adoption. Talk it over with your friends and family before making a decision.

You can be single mother if you are fully capable of taking care of a child and you can also pray for whatever you want, that's between you and God. We can't judge what you pray for. Have you thought about adoption, invitro fertilization etc? It's great to pray but also remember God likes to help those who help themselves.
