Sure, but they are not suitable for a superhero like Batman. I mean, the guy does his best to hide his identity from others in order to shield them from harm, but has no quarrel with training children and participating in suicide missions with them. 

Yeah, you could say that my version of Batman revealed his identity to his wifey and that I'm just being a hypocrite, but the point here is that Wayne's marriage was supposed to be the top of the mountain. It's kinda like what would happen if Christopher Nolan's Bruce Wayne listened to Alfred at the beginning of The Dark Knight Rises and simply settled down, but didn't fully give up his alter ego.

I think Dick, Damian and Tim as well as Jason all have reasons for Batman taking them under his wing. Dick lost his parents, Jason grew up on the streets, Tim figured out his secret identity and thought that Batman needed robin, and Damian is his son and they have had some great moments as father and son like this
