  Waste of time writing such a positive article about responsibility of childcare; if the child is not meant to be yours, can you keep it beyond its time?

  What talking you?
  
  The child is of course meant to be yours lah. Of course when they grow up you can't take care of them, doesn't mean you should not take care when he's young what.

  is just plain nonsense.
  
  So why write a positive article about how to take care of your child if SOME children are going to die?

  Because death is part of life and people must understand the whole responsibility of childcare.

  So you are suggesting that the author must write about how to prepare for a child's death too?

  Unless you plan to tell me that living things don't die? I mean there should be some good advice for people who are expecting a healthy baby but got a miscarriage instead or SID or whatever illness. In a way, parent and child cannot meet due to unexpected changes.
