Default How many children do you have?

I'm sorry if this question was asked before.

I would like to know how many children do you have and if you are planning to have more?

I have a son who was born on May 19, 2000 and since I asked if you are planning any more I will let the cat of the bag and say that dh and I are TTC #2 (well we got off the depo shot on Jan 11 2002 which was the next time for the shot and I didn't get it)

I have two little girls (as you can see from my signature line). I would love to have one more child, but we just can't do it financially. It's taken me a while to come to terms with this reality, but I think I'm finally at a place where I can be happy with just two.

I have 12year old boy. He is an only child as well as the only grandchild (on one side).

More? No, we are done.

Are you adopting domestic or international? My husband translates dossiers for Haitian adoptions. Oh my, I go to one of the international adoption websites and my heart just aches over it.

We have my little guy. (26 mos) I am not sure if we will have any more children. I feel our family isn't complete yet though. My husband would like another child. I am not sure if I am quite ready, so we are in the discussion phase of second child planning. *LOL*

Hi Sara-We are trying to adopt through the state foster to adopt program, friends have had very good luck with it, so far it's just red tape-we start our classes next week. It's hard because there are so many special needs children that are in need, which I would be ok with, but having one already, I can't ask Dh to go through it again, which is why we are adopting to begin with. It's a rough process emotionally, I just want it to move along.

DH has three
ds#1 age 30
ds #2 age 25
dd age 20

I have two
dd age 21
ds age 18

As you can tell by the ages of our kids there ain't no way we would even THINK about having another!

Now we just let the kiddos have the babies and we spoil 'em!

Default I have seven children

I have seven children I have three of my own, a 5yr girl, 6yr boy, 12yr girl. I have a 16yr old step-son, my 8 yr old nephew and his two sisters ages 13 and 15 have been living with me since the death of their father four yrs ago.

I have started to homeschool my children this year. It is not an easy task, but I will get through it.

They are all lovely, bright children with special talents. All prayers would be appreciated....LOL

We have three:
Jennie,14
Kevin,12
Brian,10

When our last one was about two, I wanted another, (I come from a family of 5 kids) but Hubby was against that one, now that I am creeping up on the age of 41, I say no way! It can be a little sad though, when you realize you can't have anymore.
