The Duggars Are Considering Adopting A Child
For most people, 19 children would be more than enough, but the Duggars aren’t most people. Married since 1984, Jim Bob and Michelle have devoted their lives to God’s plan and having as many children as the big man in the sky sees fit. Now, however, the couple believes adoption may be in the cards.
While visiting an orphanage in China as part of a mission trip, the family stopped in and saw the plight of many young orphans. According to People, ever since, Michelle says the kids have really been pushing to have another child in the house. You’d think the kids would get tired of excessive sharing, but apparently, they are as selfless as their parents.
More importantly, however, Jim Bob and Michelle have actually discussed the ups and downs of adopting a child. After miscarrying a little girl named Jubilee in 2011, it’s no surprise they might want to look into less painful options.
Jim Bob and Michelle’s son, Josh, and his wife recently announced they were having their third baby, so there will be plenty of reasons for the large family to celebrate and plenty of time to think about an important decision like adoption.
