My two cents,
If someone wants to have more kids, their financial ability to support all their kids should be distributed evenly. The more kids you have, the less money per child, simple. That is the way nuclear families operate, no one tells them they can't have more kids unless they can maintain the standard of living for the ones they currently have.
Financial obligation to kids that are not bilogically yours - that's trickier, but I suppose it essentially the same. No one questions the fact that when married couples adopt, the standard of living of the exiting kids mathematically goes down. The decision and rules for when you are taking on a permanent financial responsibility for kids that are your new partners, need to be fair and known by all though.
