I currently have 6 birth children but do not feel like my family is complete. I think I would like two more natural and then to adopt a sibling group. How many seems right for your family?

I have 2 at the moment ages 3 1/2 and one that will be a year old on the 16th of February. I would like to have one more...but then My husband and I have agreed that we would like to adopt 2 or 3 more in the future. You are an amazing woman for having 6 children and if you are able to continue to have them if you are happy with that idea. There is no too many as long as you can handle it. Adoption is a great idea as well for the children out there that need a mom and dad.

I have two natural, ages 6 and 8. Recently, I have been thinking about adopting an older child say about 7. We're thinking about an older child because it seems like older children get looked over for adoption.

We've always wanted a large family. I love my family because my grandma had five kids. We're all so close and the holidays are great - when everyone is in town. I loved the big dinners with everyone, their kids, and then the grandkids and now great grandkids.
We're thinking of at least three (number two is due in June) but would love four. Then, when they are older adopting a sibling group. We love kids!! We feel like kids ourselves half the time...it's a great way to help us feel young!!

we'll take whatever gets sent our way, either by birth or by adoption. There are a ton of kids out there who need help now! There is a homepage called 'Forever Parents' that is a really good information site and has forums you can join.
We have seven children biologically right now, and due to my miscarriage, we just passed the opportunity to adopt two beautiful girls with autism. They are in a good home now, but the option is always open.

I have 2 boys. Jason is 3 and Cody will be a month old on the 11th of this month. I would like to have at least 1 more. I would like to try for a girl!

I really don't want any children. But if I did, I'd either want to adopt one- a girl- and raise her by myself. Or, get married, have a bunch (7 or 8) and raise them on a big ramshackle farm in West Virginia or England.

1 have 3 and I am extremely happy with the size that I have. I came from a family of 8 and it was hard because we couldn't go out and do all the fun things because it would cost way to much money for us all to go.

I wanted a large family. But lately I can't imagine dealing with more than the one I have. I am sure I will have more but right now I am having trouble being a good mom to one.

It really depends on where you are and how much income/space you have. It sounds like you're a terrific mother, and I'm happy you've decided to adopt. I think that's something really meaningful you can do with your life; to be able to change a boy's or girl's entire future by providing them with a good home and loving parents. :)

I wouldlike to have 2, then adopt 1or 2. Toddler or older, since they don't get adopted as much
