    We have 2 kids. 3 year old boy (Emery Alexander), and a 4 month old girl (Annastin Kate). We are considering a 3rd, but most likely we're finished.

    I would like to adopt two or three. Personally, I have no interest in giving birth and ruining my body.

    At one point I didn't want any children. I definitely want at least 2 and would love to adopt a child or two as well. I'm single and no children right now so I guess we'll see.

    2 biological (assuming I'm fertile, I have no clue since I've never tried to conceive), several (3-4) adopted older children. Probably will foster-to-adopt. That is the plan as of now!

    My wife and I have 10 children. The oldest 3 are Bio kids while the remaining 7 have been adopted though the foster care system consisting of 2 sibling groups.

    That's awesome! Grateful for people like you! :happy:

    No idea I don't even think about that kind of stuff.

    I've always thought about adopting! I'm not planning on trying to have kids now, but I have a feeling that by the time I'm "ready" it'll be too late or that I'm infertile. But, regardless of that, I will end up adopting at least one

    Didn't want any. Ended up with 2 boys, then a girl, ages 9, 6, 2&1/2. Now I can't imagine never having them!

    But if I get pregnant again there will be both a urologist and a pharmacuetical company who'll be talking to my lawyer.....

    I have one, a 13 year old boy. I was a teen mom & have spend the last 13 years giving all my focus to him & our livelihood, so in the process, I've let myself go - isn't that how it usually goes? ;) But eventually, after I reach all the goals I have set for myself, I like to think that something great will happen & there may just be one more baby in my future - maybe a little girl. <3:)

    I have two girls, GiaMarie Jun- 3 years and Ayano Sakarra- 1 year in August. They have the same birthday!

    I want 4 but I don't want to be pregnant twice more. I want a boy so, if I have to.. I will, but I hate being pregnant. So, hopefully I only have to be pregnant one more time. His name will be Robert Guy Shogun K. <3 We are going to wait 4 years though....

    I was doing some research on surrogacy recently, though. I think I could do it! And what better way to do something you love doing (losing some weight, being pregnant, having nice hair and skin....) and giving a gift of a baby to someone? I don't know.... I need to think about it more, but it's a definite possibility.


    I think that's a wonderful thing to do (if you can handle it). I have a friend that would make an awesome mom, but after cancer in her teens she is unable to have children. I've thought about it, but I don't even want kids for myself!

    I'm undecided between 1 and 0! I have no desire for one right now, but I think I might change my mind in my 30's, I don't know. The thought of child birth terrifies me though, so...leaning towards no kids.

    I have 3 children, 2 boys aged 8 and 6 and a daughter that is 11 mths. Got snipped after two, as we were good with the two boys. Obviously didn't work, or the wife has some explaining to do! ; ) I wouldn't change it for anything in the world.
