The question is out of curiosity ... and please specify if adopting preferably than biological, or preferably adopting also!
If you could easily afford it and had the time, how many biological kids would you like to sexually have with your significant other if you could?

- 1
- 2
- 3
- 4
- 5
None. I don't want kids.
10/05/2012
None here, too.
10/05/2012
I third the responses thus far: no kids for me.

my husband and I have 2 kids. They're almost 4 (daughter) and almost 5 (son) years old. I would love to have 2 - 3 more, but not in the next year or two.

Maybe one day...but at this point, I have no desire to have children.
10/05/2012
I have one, that's good enough for me.

I have 4 kids - 1 from my current SO and 3 from a previous SO, though we just call them all the current SO's kids. We've often talked about one day adding another to our brood. I always wanted lots of kids and he always pictured himself with kids (though he never had a number in mind).
It's one of those things though where we've got 4 and that's a handful and a half, so now that they're all getting older, we don't know if we want to go back to babies and bottles and diapers.

Zero. I don't want kids.
10/05/2012
I have one and that's all I want. Money isn't the deciding factor, nor is time.
10/05/2012
none. but when i did want to be a mother, my first choice would of been adoption
10/05/2012
Two or fewer, I guess.
10/05/2012
3 children.

No bebes for me!

I'm not a mom, but if I had the money and time, I would say two.

We can't have biological children and that's JUST fine with us. We MAY adopt a kid far in the future, but that's JUST a maybe.
10/07/2012
two tops but ideally just one
10/07/2012
none, I don't want any at all
10/07/2012
I don't think I could spread my attention between more than two or three. I've always wanted two. I love kids. But I want them to have lots and lots of attention, not just money or time =)
10/07/2012
2, give or take one. Not sure I could handle having more, or spread my love around
10/08/2012
I'm not a mom and the max of kids I would have is two, no matter is had time or could afford more, this is so relative after all. I like the idea of adopting but also would like to know how is to have my own kid, when the time is right I'll think about it.
10/08/2012
I'm kind of on the fence... I definitely want at least one, BUT... I'd be thrilled if I had twins! If I chose to have two kids, I would want to have them no more than 3 years apart, so once that time passed, I don't think I'd try for more than one.
10/08/2012
I picked one. I think we would have super cute kiddos, but we don't have the means to take care of one right now. Also with the way the world is, it scares me to bring a tiny life into it.
If we had the means, we would probably adopt as well. There are so many unwanted and uncared for children out there!

I have 2 daughters from my first marriage and 2 is plenty. My husband doesn't want kids and, having already been through it twice, I don't want to deal with any more babies.

I think 2 would be a good number. Maybe someday!

I only know one person who had a "good" childhood.
From my own experience of childhood family life as well as that of close friends, how many children would I want to bring into this world...
I would say NONE.
So many of us grew up in dysfunctional families that go back for generations. We carry the wounds of our childhood throughout our adult lives. Given that, my preference would be to not burden offspring with that sort of legacy. I was a better parent than my father was but my son's mother was someone who should NEVER have had a child. I've made the recommendation to my adult son to get a vasectomy as soon as he can.

I agree that a lot of us grow up in dysfunctional families. I have left exes due to knowing they wouldn't be good fathers! Sorry to hear that she wasn't a good mother.

I have thought about adopting more so than having my own kids, to give them a better life than what they have at the moment.
