Would you as a parent allow, children that you legally adopt (who are still children) who still want to see there biological mother/father several times a week, if that is what the child wants?

Sure! If the roles were reversed, I would want to know my real parents, too. You are the legal parent. The biologicals cannot take their children away from you. As long as your child is in no danger, they deserve to meet and know their birth parents.
Yes..of course…as long as there is no danger.
If the biological parents aren’t a threat to the child, probably. They have a right to know their entire family, biological and adoptive.
Yes, I’d actually prefer that. I’d love to have a good relationship with the parents, it would be good for everyone involved.
Yes, as long as there is no danger of the other ons hurting him/her.
Yes assuming it was a safe option I would do all in my power to allow contact with a birth family.
The more interesting question is why these children are being adopted? Has everything been done to help the biological parents keep the family together? It sounds like there are all sorts of unresolved issues. In ny case, I’d allow them to see them once a week, assuming that it is safe and the children and parents want a relationship. beyond that, it would be intrusive into the new family routines if the visits were more frequent.
If I can trust the biologicals with my adopted child.
