I also don't believe that it's the childrens decision. We let our son know that while we cared about his feelings and wanted him to be happy, it was still not his decision to make. I asked him how many of his classmates got to choose whether or not they had siblings?
Our son was like carlychan's. He was 10 at the time, and he wasn't fond of the extra responsibilities. What he didn't realize is that he would have been getting them anyway, because of his age! He also didn't want girls - and we ended up with 2! But he came around, and he's thrilled to have sisters....most of the time. Which is completely normal for siblings.
