the children of mary

Then why did Jesus give her to John as his mother from the cross? ("Son, behold your mother" and "Woman, behold your son.") This would have been an odd thing to do, if Mary had other children that could have taken care of her.

Mary was a virgin "Mary the mother of Jesus was a woman who was described by God as “highly favored” (Luke 1:28). The phrase “highly favored” comes from a single Greek word, which essentially means “much grace.” Mary received God’s grace. Grace is “unmerited favor,” meaning that it something we receive despite the fact that we do not deserve it. Mary needed grace from God, just as the rest of us do. Mary herself understood this fact, as she declared in Luke 1:47, “…and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior…” Mary recognized that she needed to be saved, that she needed God as her Savior. The Bible never says that Mary was anyone but an ordinary human female whom God chose to use in a extraordinary way. Yes, Mary was a righteous woman and favored (graced) by God (Luke 1:27-28). At the same time, Mary was also a sinful human being just like everyone else – who needed Jesus Christ as her Savior, just like everyone else (Ecclesiastes 7:20; Romans 3:23; 6:23 1 John 1:8)." http://www.gotquestions.org/virgin-Mary.html

They get this Virgin tradition from Isaiah but if you check it out Bethula is Hebrew for virgin and in Isaiah the Hebrew translation is for young women and the prophecy there in Isaiah if you read on is toward Isaiah himself Immanuel is Isaiah's son read the next page, besides did any one call Jesus by Immanuel not that I've read but they said they would something don't fair out.
