I've heard that a girls stop growing once they turn 25, if you had kids before 25 do you stop growing once you have kids? What about the men?

Yes you stop growing but its not EXACTLY 25 it depends..somewere around 21-27 for females and 22-28 for males. It varies on how tall you are already
Girls:
5.0-5.4- Youll grow another 3 inches min.
5.5-6.0-Youll grow another 2 inches min.
6.0-.... Youll grow 1 inch min.
Boys:
5.0-5.4-Another 4 inch min
5.5-6.0-Another 3 inch min.
6.0-...another 3 inch min

I stopped growing before I got into high school. Usually with girls, they stop growing 2-3 years after they start menstruating. I've never heard of girls growing until they are 25. Maybe boys, but they start later.

Women stop growing at age 18, and men stop at around early 20s.

I would say most girls are done growing between 16-18. Some guys may grow into their 20's

I'm not an expert, but I have heard that a person's brain is not fully grown until they are 25.
Girls stop getting taller around 16-17.
Boys stop getting taller around 20.

Physical growth for girls slows down dramatically around 2 years after the girl's first period (menarche).
For example, if a girl gets her period at 12, she can expect a period of steady growth up to around age 14-15.... and then it slows to a stop, where she will reach her adult height at about age 16.
Everyone is different, however. It comes down to genetics in the end.

What do you mean with stop growing? Do you mean stop growing taller? One stops growing taller when his or her epiphyseal lines of long bones have fused. For girls, it usually happens at the ages of 15 to 17, and for boys at the ages of 17 to 19.
Growing fatter or more robust, however, can happen at any age.

I really think it all depends on the person and their genetics not just their age. My grandma stopped growing in 8th grade (!), but I'm still growing and I'm in 10th. It really is just genetics.
