1 boy who turns 5 next week. Would love to have another child but so far no luck! I will be turning 33 in december. So we have decided to wait and see another year and then consider adoption.

Have six . . Nathan & Em are stepkids, have never lived with us and are now both in their 20's . . they hated me when I met their Dad, and Nathan still doesnt like me, but Em comes and stays with us for holidays sometimes (they live 1000km away)

Four kids I've given birth to -
Blake - 18
Belinda - 14
Breanna - 8
Bridie - 4

So weird how it worked out - Blake & Bree are 10yrs apart and so similar to eachother, and Bell and Bridie are 10 years apart and similar too!!!

2 boys (7 & 3) - and we're done. Weren't able to get my tubes tied due to filing errors (and I lost my nerve a few weeks later when i would have been able to do it). SO hubby is getting his ... stuff snipped It would be done by now, but we were moving south when his appt was, so he needs to reschedule (he's procrastinating, lol).

I have 4

Alyssa - 20
Breanna - 18
Jacob - 16 (step son)
Megan - 14

We are definitely done. Tubes tied in 2000 and Hysterectomy in 2010.

I would adopt though probably - if only I could convince my husband. I just love babies and we never had one of our own. It is so hard to let go of that.

3 adopted kiddos for us. 17 yr old DS, 8 yr old DD and 8 yr old DS (not twins). We have talked about adopting again, but figure we might be getting too old to do the baby thing again. LOL! We will never have biological children and it took me many years to come to terms with that, but feel so blessed now to have the family I do and grateful for the way they came into my life.

3 for us. My boys are 8 and 5 and my girl is almost 3. My kids are each 2.5 years apart, and now we're done and have passed the torch...my sister just had her first when my youngest was 2.5. I get my baby cuddles from my nephew then pass him back and enjoy that I'm finally at the point where things have gotten easier. I hope those of you trying for babies are blessed with them soon!

Three. Son is 17, girls are 15 and 11 (almost 12). 99% sure we are done, but neither of us has had anything permanent done. I had a hard time during delivery of #3 and it as enough to scare me into not even thinking about having a 4th child (even though that had been the plan). At this point, I'm 41, dh is 43 and with teens, I can't even imagine a baby at this point.

I just have one girl. I'm 98% sure we won't have more, but for whatever reason, I just can't completely close that book.

I pray for all that haven't had children yet. I can't imagine what it feels like and sympathize with you all.

I guess I'm the 'Grandma' of the bunch. I'm only 46 but it breaks down like this

I had 2 sons from my first marriage (one will be 27 next week and the youngest will by 26 next month) and they have 6 kids total

BUT

I also have 3 wonderful step-children that are (36, 30, 29) and they have given us 2 grandchildren.

So.....5 kids total and 8 grandkids! We are blessed!

I have 1 she'll be 6 in March---

Unless they can magically fix my health problems it'll either be a surrogate for us or no more...we have a friend whose offered to be a surrogate for us--so with that I'm hoping my doc will at least give me the go ahead to have my eggs harvested Fingers crossed for that here in the new year

I just wanted to post again and say how much I'm wishing and sending positive thoughts to those who want babies... It took me a long time to come to terms with the fact that there wouldn't be another, and I know what that yearning feels like. Don't give up all hope - I was 25 when DS was born and then 13 years later (at 38) I had the shock of my life when I found out I was pregnant with DD. Now 11 years later I am still amazed at times. We never went through infertility treatments and my OBs never really did have an answer as to why I didn't get pregnant for so many years...

Two boys here. Isaac is 6 and Elijah will be 18 months soon. We are hoping to have one more before too long. I too have struggled with infertility, but only had to take Metformin to get my eggs to movin'. It is a diabetic med, but has a side effect that causes you to ovulate. I'm hoping I won't have to take that stuff to get preggo this time.

I have 1, a 5 year old boy, Nicholas. I am pretty sure I am done. I am 32 and single, so not likely, if I wanted another one it would happen before I became too old anyway. But since even when I was married, we were never sure we wanted more than 1, it doesn't bother me. I would consider adoption though in the future, it is a dream I have had for a long time.

I have a 2yo DD and a 9yo SS. We plan on adding to our family through adoption, and I hope we can start that process in 2012.

I'd love to have 5-6 kiddos as long as I don't have to give birth to them! We haven't totally closed the door to more biological children, but it would not be my preference if I got to choose.

We have two Iyah is five and Ella will be six months old tomorrow. I would love to have another daughter in a few years time (of course a boy would be welcome too) but if that doesn't happen I'm happy with my two girls.

I have two: Jack, 6, and Max, 4. Plus there's one on the way, who will be our last biological baby. We hope to add at least one more via adoption, but I'd love to get a sibling set. Maybe once we get past the baby stage, Joel will be more open to having more (not baby) kids.

I have 2. My oldest son is nearly 20 and my youngest son is 8.5 years old. I was married and had Jacob, then divorced. My ex legally gave up all rights to my son. I got married again and my husband adopted Jacob. Then later we had Logan. Since Jacob is off to college, we only have 1 child in the house now.

Our family doesn't feel complete and we are considering adopting a child, which I'd love that to be a girl. Ideally, the child would be 4-8 years old and would become our youngest child.
