Ever since I was a teenager, I've always wanted 2 children. But for a while, I was afraid I wouldn't have any. Now that we have our daughter, I am so thankful. Two kids would be nice, but I am perfectly happy with one.

How about you? How many kids do you hope to have?

[J9yinyang]

I would like to have 2 biological children (so I can have a little girl with my eyes and her daddy's curly hair, and a little boy for my husband to carry on the family name) and then I want to adopt as many "special needs" children (those that are too "old" or have been labeled as hard to handle) as I can afford for as long as I have the physical ability to parent them. I figure that will be about 6-10, but it all depends on how old the children are an how much financial strain it is for us. We're certainly not rich. We're both blue collar, and have to work hard for every dime, but I can't see a better way to spend our money.

I always wanted a houseful of kids, but now that I have two -- and that was such a struggle -- I wonder if I'll have any more.

My two boys are so much fun -- one is the spitting image of me and has my personality -- and the other is just like his daddy. It's really a lot of fun for me and DH to have two kids and one is like each of us. I'd love more but I don't know if my body can handle another trying pg like the one I had with the twins. Still, we'd like a third child.

I'd be happy to have one to be honest but hope and pray for at least 3 or 4. I'm not sure how we'll make this work...I just want one soon! The rest we'll figure out later!

I would be happy with one I don't really know if I would want more if it ment I would have this struggle again I will be happy with only one and then move on with my life and my family

[Kay1982]

I would be so happy if I could just get one. My DH wants 3 or 4 but I told him that with the struggles with have just to get one we might as well don't even bother to get more. I kinda hope to get twins thru this IF treatments, then I'd be really happy and we'd be done with having more kids

[EMT-Paramedic26]

I want two kids ( it is my and DH turn to have twins in his side of the family)and after the 2nd one I will have my tudes tieChristina

[meremere]

I want 3 DH wants 2. I would like to have one (atleast) natural child and adopt one or two depending on the funds. Adopting one is a MUST though!

[rexie]

Before I knew that I couldn't conceive easily, I wanted four. Now, I'll be happy with one. I prefer not to have an only child, so I'll most likely adopt a second one. I almost long for the blissfully ignorant days of thinking that I wanted spring babies.

[CryingInside]

I would love to have 3 of my own, and 1 adopted. When I was much younger I used to tell my family I wanted 10 kids! I always wanted a huge family. Now I really would love to have a set of twins! Maybe that would be the one good thing about having to go through fertility treatments-I could get two for the price of one! haha!

[NINA232006]

I Would Love To Have 6 Or Seven, But It's All Up To God And I'm Never Going To Take Care Of My Self If I Ever Get Pg I'm Going To Let God Give Me All The One's He Wants. And If He Don't Give Me None Well That Was His Will.

[jenedens6102]

DH and I always wanted three but we've both decided that we'd be thrilled with one and if that's all we get then we'll be perfectly happy and blessed to have one child. We've said that with dealing with our infertility that we're going through this process once and only once for a child. It's my turn for twins on both sides of my family so I'm praying for whatever God gives me, two would be great but one is just perfect.

[rachel dutt]

I just want a kid thats all i want a kid if God gives me one thats fine justa kid.

[catt13]

Before IF i wanted 2, now i am praying for at least one, but am willing to have a soccer team. Your perspective changes so much when you find out that you cannot have any or that it will be so much harder. So at this point i would take as many as i can get.

[Angel0226]

Before we realized we were going to be headed down the IF road, both DH and I wanted at least 2, maybe 3. After going through years of IF, we are blessed with one beautiful daughter and couldn't be happier! I honestly thought I was ok with having one child, but after miscarrying one this year... I can't help but want to try again, naturally this time. I don't think I can make our daughter grow up an only child. She is now 2 1/2 and is asking for a baby brother and a baby sister. I do believe there is something coaching her a bit on this... but it's hard to tell her no.
