I hate to correct you but Michelle Duggar has NOT been pregnant 18 times. She has had 2 sets of twins. Therefore making 16 pregnancies. This current one is her 17th. So check your facts next time.

does it really matter? its crazy either way to have that many kids god given or not. there are lots of kids out there that need homes & if they are so willing to take care of so mnay children then they should adopt all the millions around the world that need homes instead of creating more population on this earth that it already staggering under it all.

Actually Michelle was pregnant before she gave birth to Josh but it ended up in a miscarriage which they believe it was due to birth control so they decided against birth control and leave it up to God. So I think that does make her pregnant 18 times.

Thanks, April! I appreciate your knowledge – I should have been more careful. Good to know someone is reading carefully!

Actually it has been 18. She lost her first child.

If facts are to be checked, she also had at least one miscarriage, so this current pregnancy is at least her 18th.

ya april get it right, maybe you should check your facts before running your mouth. she has been pregnant 18 times. GET YOUR FACTS STRAIGHT!!

What about you Sabrina? Have you adopted anyone? I thought so. So if they should adopt then I suppose we all should adopt right? Are you really concerned about those kids that need adoption or are you bothered by the Dugars wonderful family? Studies have shown that a population decreases if there are not at least 2.11 people born per family and America is currently at 1.6 but with Latino immegration the number is at 2.11 so we are at best maintaining our population but not increasing it. The earth is staggering under it all? That is so completely absurd.

I respect the Duggar family tremendously. It is now our place to judge how big or small a husband and wife would like their family to be. The Duggars have shown an enormous amount of faith. They have willingly had these children that GOD has given them and without ANY government assistance of any kind. They are also debt free. How can we judge a family that provides for themselves 100 percent?????? They love their children, fear God, and have a WONDERFUL marriage. America could and should learn many many valuable lessons from this family. Thank you for your testimony. I have been encouraged because of the work you do!

In the first sentence I meant to say it is NOT our place to judge….sorry!

I believe that autumn said exactly what i was going to. I say rock on and if they have there 20th god is good to them. I myself cannot have children but if i could who knows maybe god would have blessed me with that much but i will be adopting my very first at the ripe old age of 37 and i can’t wait.

i usually stick to natural birth control methods because i am a christian, natural birth control has no side effects too.*-,
