[quote=Anonymous]We are a little older but were thinking along similar lines and in the end decided to stick with just one. He is a really easy kid and didn’t want to learn that the hard way. Our age is a strong consideration (38) since we are not entirely comfortable with the increased of genetic issues. Our worst nightmare would be to roll the dice and end up regretting not sticking with an only. The tipping point for us however was thinking about our environmental impact. We are a very happy family just as we are so it would feel greedy/selfish to bring another person into the world who would contribute to environmental destruction. The risks outweigh the benefits. Marginal, if any real increase on happiness (how could this even be measured) since we already have so much to be grateful for weighed against the risk of complications or a kid who may have health struggles.
