So onto our questions on family...What is God's plan for families? and What does the bible say about children? There are verses that help you understand the importance of children and how much God values them.

For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place. When I was woven together in the depths of the earth, your eyes saw my unformed body. All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be.

—Psalm 139:13-16

he did not create it to be empty, but formed it to be inhabited…
