Zero.

I was with a French woman for the best part of a decade from the ages of 31 to 40, when I would've been in my prime years for fatherhood I guess. She had a six year old girl when I met her and couldn't have any more children herself. I'm proud to say that although we split in 2008, we're still friendly but I get on brilliantly with her daughter and still see them both a couple of times a year. The daughter is like my unofficial step-daughter and will message me for advice about things rather than her dad who is flakey at best. She's had two children of her own in the last three years and is with a really nice fella so it's all good :)

Children don't need to be biological offspring.

I think you change from zero to one. It's about love, not biology.

A boy & a girl who sadly I haven’t seen for many years. My son is a professional magician, now retired & now the countries leading magic agent & a daughter who’s ex police & now a legal secretary. However I’ve inherited 2 fabulous daughters who mean the world to me & I believe me to them.

Two.

Seems odd calling 30+ year olds 'children'.....

Adam will be 35 in April, he's married to an American girl and works for Wells Fargo Bank. Living in Scottsdale AZ.

Alice will be 33 in June, she's engaged and mother to my wonderful grandson, Harvey. Lives near Worksop, works as a critical care nurse in Chesterfield hospital.
