Dear Annie: My question is: Can I still keep going to my church or is it

Dear Annie: My spouse and I chose to raise our kids in a neighborhood
with excellent schools and a strong sense of community. The downside is
that it's also a very affluent area, and many of the families around us

Dear Annie: I'm writing with a small story that left me with a
surprisingly big question.

"doesn't believe in marriage." She's 41, has always wanted children and
