The Doctor had various children across their many lives.
Known children[]
Susan Foreman, the Doctor's granddaughter. (TV: "An Unearthly Child")
One incarnation of the Doctor had thirteen children with his wife "Patience". Susan Foreman's father was the eldest of these children. (PROSE: Cold Fusion) Even though some accounts claimed that Gallifreyans were sterile after Pythia's Curse, (PROSE: Cat's Cradle: Time's Crucible, et. al) the Curator claimed otherwise when he said one of Susan Foreman's parents was a child of the Doctor via natural means. (PROSE: The Day of the Doctor) In some accounts, wherein the Doctor and Susan were shown to be human, this therefore meant that the Doctor's child whom parented Susan was also human. (TV: The Sensorites [+]Peter R. Newman, Doctor Who season 1 (BBC1, 1964)., etc.)
The Twelfth Doctor stated he took the daughter of the President of the High Council away from Gallifrey with him, (TV: Hell Bent [+]Steven Moffat, Doctor Who series 9 (BBC One, 2015).) with A Brief History of Time Lords claiming that Susan had been this daughter. Therefore, one of the Doctor's children would have been President at that time, or had a child with the President. (PROSE: A Brief History of Time Lords)
In the aftermath of the Last Great Time War, the Tenth Doctor stated he had lost all of his children in the fighting. A new daughter, Jenny, was artificially created from his DNA through a progenation machine. The Doctor was reminded of all the children he had lost "a long time ago" and ultimately accepted her as his family, only for her to seemingly die in his arms. (TV: The Doctor's Daughter [+]Stephen Greenhorn, Doctor Who series 4 (BBC One, 2008).)
I know. I'm just. When I look at her now, I can see them. The hole they left, all the pain that filled it. I just don't know if I can face that every day.
Miranda Dawkins was the daughter of the Emperor, a future incarnation of the Doctor, who was later adopted by the Eighth Doctor. (PROSE: Father Time) Edward Grove considered himself a child of the Eighth Doctor because the time paradox he caused when he rescued Charlotte Pollard gave him life. (AUDIO: The Chimes of Midnight) So did the Sound creature. (AUDIO: Scherzo)
The Sapling was a sapling of the Planting who was infused with some of the memories of the Eleventh Doctor and Alice Obiefune as his "progenitors". (COMIC: The Scream, et al)
