Couples wanting a child translation

Hi,

I'm looking for a good translation for the dutch word 'kinderwens' what means 'couples wanting a child', but I need it in one or two words only.

Free translation of 'kinderwens' is 'childwish', but that involves the wish of a child itself has.

It's important that it expresses the desire to become a parent.

Hope somebody finds a good translation.

Regards,

Gingrich

There isn't one word for this in English. You'll have to think of a combination of words that explain the concept- there isn't a set phrase or idiom for this. I can't think of a snappy two word combination that will mean this.
