Tell me about one of your dreams in life that got abandoned along the way...

I always wanted to have a huge giant family. I wanted to have a few children of my own, but adopt as well. I'm talking like a HUGE family with 11 or 12 children.
I guess my dream stems from not having much of a family of my own growing up and I wanted to be able to be a part of one as an adult. My only wish since I can remember was being a mother and loving all of these babies and kids.
My dream never happened though because my husband is adamantly against adopting any children, but we do have our own.
What about you?
