Quote from Lorska

In other words, it's not sad that some people don't want any kids. Its sad that we live in a world/society that facilitates having no kids to be more desirable than having them.

Not sure if you're aware, but that's how the destabilization process for any nation begins.

solo adoption might be appealing, even when it takes 5-10 years
for those concerned about the daunting challenges of co-parenting
the traditional route requires that you 'play nice' with another person until your kids reach adulthood which can be easier said than done

there's really quite a few options available:
you can pursue a relationship with someone who already has kids. how's that for speeding things up!
you can be an active godparent to a siblings children
you can foster parent
you can take a leadership role with children where you perform parent-like activities eg. a coach, educator or peer mentor

you can always add a partner after you have your family if you finally find the right one

This is a tricky question for me. On one hand, my genes are absolute trash. I'll probably be dead in about ten years or so, maybe less. I know for a fact that having children would be a mistake, and I can barely take care of myself as is. Thus I have decided to never have any children. But since the question is about what I'd like, my answer is about 3 or 4.

Is it wrong to be like President Miyuki Shirogane and pick 9? :3

Realisticly, I'd pick 3 or 4, but there's something adventurous about having a family with a wife (waifu?) and 9 kids.
