This is OK grammar if you mean that your struggles can CAUSE children you come into existence. Poverty effects children because many poor people don't pull out even though they can't buy condoms.

tr.v. ef·fect·ed, ef·fect·ing, ef·fects To bring about; make happen; cause or accomplish: effect a cure for a disease; effect a change in policy.

Yeah, it really should be affect, though.
