Re: Offspring

We have two boys. I always wanted more but I think we are at the limit. having spent as much time in the NICU as we have as well as other complications, has put the damper on having more.

Re: Offspring

I voted "2" for my biological children, but I also have a step-daughter, son-inlaw and daughter-inlaw. Wanted 3 children but my first husband only wanted two. I can also add in four grandchildren, 2 boys & 2 girls, and a one year old puppy.
