The Duggars Pregnant With 19th: Why not adopt?


Living the Quiverfull Christian movement to it's finest, Michelle Duggar told the Today Show today, (September 1, 2009) she is two and a half months pregnant. The baby will be born in the springtime after the Duggar's first grandchild will be welcomed into the world.



With eighteen children so far, all with names that start with J, I wonder how many more children they will bless the world with? They practice the Quiverfull Christian faith which tells its believers that children are a blessing from God and you are not allowed to practice any type of birth control.

Luckily the Duggar's are blessed with the monetary means to support this brood. Living in their 7000 square foot home in Tontitown, Arkansas my ex-boss was a friend of this family at one time. Because my ex-boss, I'll call him Jim, was in the construction business and Jim Bob Duggar made his fortune in real estate, these two ran with some of the same circles. Jim always said they were the nicest people but he was shocked by their continual reproduction as the rest of the non-practicing or non-believing Quiverfull Christians are. I mean how could they not be the nicest people, really?

In a world were so many children are starving and not taken care of, why would the Duggar's feel the continual need to reproduce? Why not adopt other children who could use the guidance that seems to fulfill this family and make it so productive and prosperous?

Are the Duggar's selfish in their need to populate the earth with their breed? Why not help others in need instead of reproducing you own seeds over and over?
