Zero.

Unless they ABSOLUTELY, POSITIVELY want them and are 100% certain that they can absorb the financial, emotional and psychological hell that is going to come out of it. IMO they should do foster parent duties for a couple of months to "try out" parenting on a part-time, non-committal basis first before deciding to have their own too. I imagine if this was required, there'd be a precipitous decline in birthrate, which actually would be a good thing.

IMHO the LAST friggin' thing the world needs is more humans. . . But if that's what a couple REALLY wants (some people ARE wired up for it and that's fine and good for the survival of our species), then go for it. Provided they have the means to care for them and provide for them without impacting me or penalizing me for MY choices.

I'll take my two cats any day thank you very much. But that's just me.
