2- 3, we would ideally like 2 naturally, and then adopt 1.

My DH wants 2 but if we have another son I would like to try for a girl so I would say 2 or 3.

2 or 3. We're having this one biologically and since my husband is adopted, we want to adopt the next- we'd like to stay domestic in our adoption, so we may adopt a "hard to place" child, which often means a slightly older set of siblings.

I'm pg with #3. We would like a 4th but we can't afford it nor do we have the room.

So most likely one of us will be getting fixed! Chat Icon

Re: How many children do you and your dh/dw/so want to have?

I wanted 4
DH wanted 2
so we compromised at 3.

That being said, I am only pg with the 1st and I don't know if I really want to do this 2 more times!

I hear a lot about couples adopting. I think that is wonderful.

Re: How many children do you and your dh/dw/so want to have?

We both agreed that if we have 2 of the same sex then we will try for a 3rd, if we have a boy and a girl, then we're stopping at 2.

Re: How many children do you and your dh/dw/so want to have?

We are PG with #1. I used to want 3 or 4, but then I had to go on Lovenox during my PG... I think 2 will suffice! I don't think I could do the shots for more than 2 pregnancies... I'm hoping to get through this one.

same with us.
Ideally, a girl and a boy would be great. I am PG with our first, a girl. If our second is a boy.. I think we'll stop there. If not, we agreed to try once more.

Re: How many children do you and your dh/dw/so want to have?

we have 3 and let me tell you, it is TONS of work, 2 was manageable, but 3 really s quite a change and my hubb and I are VERY laid back and organzed.
We go back and forth about #4, some days we want 1 more some days we are TOTALLY done.

So prob 2 or 3 of our own and 1 adoption

I would like to have 3. However with my Hyperemisis I am physically done with my 2 girls, but will adopt a boy in the future when it comes time.
