How many children would you ideally like to have (bio or otherwise)?

[Jonny]

Personally, I'd prefer zero.

Personally, I'd prefer zero.

This.



(unless science makes leaps and I CAN someday birth a litter of kittens, then.. maybe 2 or 3)

 

[citizen cane]

Also zero.

Female and my actual choice would be 2-3, I think.

Preferably bio.

3.

Two boys and a girl. Im willing to adopt one of them.

 

[miss_hap]

2.5

I can't decide between 2 and 3. So I didn't vote.

 

[chickpea]

Probably 2, maybe 3. Not more than that.

I don't want to have 1 because I'm an only child and it kinda sucks.

 

[HongDou]

Leaning towards 2 so I picked the 1-2 option. My family friends are 4 siblings, and seeing how stressed their parents are and how much time they've given up I don't think I could handle that without spiraling into depression. Even just 1 child is a huge commitment, but it's something I want to experience.

I want to have 2 biologically and adopt one. But I'd like to have a boy and a girl, so that may require a couple more. And if the girl I adopt has a brother or sister I'll adopt him or her as well.

 

[LadyLazarus]

2 and I'd prefer them to be biological but would not be against adopting one of them. IDGAF what genders they are, they could be coconuts for all I care(being my kids they probably would be) as long as they come potty trained and somehow birth themselves.

Not anytime soon though; God no, I'd rather talk/sound like the Count from Sesame St. for all eternity ( I already kind of do anyway).

Preferably bio.

Sounds about right.

 

[cafe]

I wanted 4-6. They are a lot of work, so I went with 4 (2 of each). I want to keep all the ones I have. It was rough when they were young but now I joke about having made friends -- literally.

 

[93JC]

I used to feel that three was the optimum number. As time goes on my desire to have kids lessens.

 

[ceecee]

We have 4 total. 3 boys and 1 girl. I don't call them stepkids or anything like that, just our kids.

 

[five sounds]

2-3. preferably biological, but i'd adopt.

 

[á´…eparted]

0. I would be a bad parent.

 

[Hypatia]

I haven't decided whether I want children or not.

Female.

 

[Noll]

Earth is severely overpopulated, only selfish people would give birth to more kids. It's like pet breeding. If you want kids - adopt those in need, don't create new ones. Your genes and offspring is nothing at all special. My sister said I was acting bitter when I told her this, yet I think I was acting accordingly in order to preserve our lovely planet.

 

[violaine]

Would love four bio children. I have two daughters. Don't care if I have more daughters or sons, either would be wonderful. Would like to foster or adopt when I'm a bit older, (but most likely foster because I believe less people do and there are kids who are really in need). I would love to care for and give hope and love to children who don't have a lot of either. :-( That would be a dream life to me.
