Erichthonius, Cacus, and Caeculus
Erichtonius is the son of Hephaestus and Gaia, and Hephaestus is the father of of Cacus and Caeculus. The mothers of Cacus and Caeculus are unknown.
It's an interesting story. Athena visited Hephaestus once to ask for some weapons, but he thought that she had come to seduce him, and he attempted to rape her. Athena managed to escape, and Hephaestus ended up fertilizing the earth. Later, Erichthonius was born, and Athena hid the baby in a box and gave it to the three daughters of Cecrops.
According to Hyginus' Fabulae, sons of Vulcan are Philammon, Cecrops, Erichthonius, Corynetes, Cercyon, Philottus and Spinther
Yes, she decided to remain chaste. She did, however, accompany many men on their journeys, and made quite an effort with Odysseus. She also had a son, sort of. His name was Erichthonius, and was created when Hephaestus sort of, almost raped her, and spilled his seed on her leg/on the ground. In some cases, when it's on her leg, she wipes it off and throws it to the ground, and leaves in disgust. So, really, Erichthonius was of Hephaestus and Gaia, but Athena fostered him.
Erichthonius, Cacus, and Caeculus
In Greek myth, her adopted son was Erichthonius (also written Erichthonios).

The Greek Goddess? She had no daughters. Only one "foster son" named Erichthonius.
Athena only had one adopted son, Erichthonius (also written Erichthonios).
None. Athene was a maiden goddess (Pallas Athene; Parthenia, with both "pallas" and "parthenos" translating as "youth, maiden or virgin") who in several myths proved that she wanted nothing to do with romantic relationships. One obscure myth, however gives her a child, Erichthonius (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Athena#Erichthonius).

Erichthonius was the child resulting in Hephaestus seducing Athena, for Athena had refused his love and she flung his semen upon Earth (Gaea) who delivered the child to them.
