If Eight is Enough, what is Fifteen?
I thought two kids was challenging. Check out the Duggar family of Fayetteville, Arkansas.
Michelle Duggar just gave birth to her 15th (yes, that is FIFTEENTH) baby this past week. She is 37 years old and she must be an amazing woman.

They should get a TV, or maybe take up bowling.

I have 6 children and I am expecting quadruplets now! I will say she must be a strong woman to raise that many but, I will say I love everyone of my children to death. Once I had 6 I wanted more and I continued on but I am so blessed to have every single one of them!
My Kids: Meera, Devin, Isabella, Parice, Madison,and Gavin. And on the Way ~Kole, Toriey, Kacelie, and Mya~

I was just wondering if anyone knows what the religion of this family is. I heard they have no television or for that matter of fact no real "technology" of that sort. It kind of reminds me of the Amish in a way.

They are "evangelical Christians" according to an article written by Michelle Duggar. They are NOT amish. What an encouraging family!

Have you ever heard of over population, I think China has the right idea one kid per family, I have one kid, and I think that is enough for any family, gee get a clue, buy a rubber

I'm a young father speaking from Brazil and I've read this on web today (in Portuguese). Imediately, I googled for more information in English. I'm very happy about this family. I want have many children too. About one who said they don't have television, I think they do, but they have more interesting things to do... :-)God bless then... by the way, they are from a Baptist Church... here in Brazil, I belong to Neo-Catechmenal Way from Catholic Church and we also believe children are gift from God!

They do have a television, they just choose not to watch it.

this family is just too much. They are totally selfish. There are starving children out there and kids who want to be adopted. If they want so many children, why not adopt one of those, and give them a home. Why continue to overpopulate the earth, and take all of our resources? Feed some hungry children who deserve it. Stop having kids if you can't raise them. People think Michelle can raise those kids, but the only reason why that family can function is bc she has her kids take care of the littler kids. Let the older kids be kids. Don't make them raise YOUR babies. If you can't take care of them yourself, STOP MAKING THEM!!!
