Cudae, there was a thread a while ago about the female orc question (I started it, in fact). I can't get the link to work for some reason, but it's from April and called "Far from the Orc I love." Feel free to start another discussion, though (moderators permitting, of course), since this one got a little...silly in places [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img].

For Goblin children; I believe the other reference would also be in "The Hobbit" in "Riddles in the Dark" when Gollum is referred to as having recently killed a small goblin-imp - "That nasssty young squeaker." I don't believe there's any reference to it at all in LOTR, and there's no direct reference to Orc women either. I think this (Orc women and children) may ultimately be one of those Entwife-style questions; the answer could be anything because the evidence one way or another just isn't there.
