I want to have kids and my brother was scared his kids might be born with birth defects or something as it may be risky.

I understand!😔 I hope you are not offended even if I say this. I looked at Rick's picture and guessed he was a patient with Down syndrome.
I am sad that Rick doesn't want to leave his descendants behind. 😞

God blessed that Abraham's descendants would be as many as the stars in the sky.
Even if Rick goes to heaven, he will feel happier if his descendants thrive in the world.

Dear @joeyarnoldvn , So, I will pray for you to leave many descendants.

Me and my brother were born with some of those things, autism, Treacher Collins Syndrome, and probably a few other things similar to our dad.

Dear my friend @joeyarnoldvn , Thanks for your honest answer.
I've been looking at pictures of you and Rick and guessing about their disability.
By the way, I am sad about the story of you and your family. 😔

I will pray to God that you will have many healthy descendants.

It is a good story and not a bad story. The story is of people God saved and helped. We were down and out. We recovered. It is a miracle. Doctors said I was retarded when I was like 7 years old. They tested me and thought I would like not pass the 6th grade. But I went on to attend 4 colleges. My brother became an airplane engineer, a world traveler, an English teacher, and a missionary. We all went on to do amazing things. So, it does not matter if we got problems. We all got problems as people. The only thing worse is if you think you are perfect and are unable to see problems you have. We all have problems. Some people don't think they have problems. Some people don't see the problems. It is worse not to see the problems you have. That is an even bigger problem. Can you see problems with you? At least me and my brother can see our problems.

Dear my friend @joeyarnoldvn , It is an amazing story! Jesus has done miracles for your family. I've been told for the first time that a genetic disorder has been cured.

You are correct! We are all sick people with problems. The fact that we are not aware of our problems is more dangerous.
I am glad that Jesus blessed you and your brother.😄
