No reason only...

it would be great for all children to have mums and dads who love them and guess it is harder for men to find a role in their children's lives when they are busy as providers, especially if the children may not be theirs. we all struggle but it helps to have a light out there

This is taken from an article written by Rachel Corcoran interviewing 'Seal'. 'How i feel about parenthood'

"People talk about the responsibility of having children in a negative sense - the sacrifices they make and so on. But i see that responsibility as a good thing. It's one of the few things in life that you have to be truly accountable for.....

You have been given the honour of helping to form this little miracle and they take their lead from you. So whether they're physically your child or not is irrelevant. What is relevant is the fact that you're nurturing them and helping them to grow...

The great thing about kids is that they give you permission to do stupid things. They simplify everything too. If you're lucky enough, they allow you to look at the world as they see it - and that's a much more peaceful place than the world we adults live in".
