‘19 Kids and Counting’ Jim Bob And Michelle Duggar Takes In 20th Kid Into Their Family

The "19 Kids and Counting" couple Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar who are pro-life are more than happy to announce that they have added one kid to their large brood. An Arkansas judge granted the request of the couple that they be given the custody of Tyler, 9, the son of Michelle Duggar's niece Rachel Hutchins.

The young boy was born to his unwed mother when she was a teenager. When she was arrested for a felony case of breaking and entering, her son was taken by Mrs. Duggar's sister Carolyn to take care of him. However, she died last July and the Duggar couple took him at their home. They then requested to be named as Tyler's permanent guardians.

It was a happy occasion for Michelle Duggar who still wants to have another child despite her large family. Her last delivery was to a stillborn child named Jubilee Shalom.

The Duggars shared on their official Facebook account the legalization of the entry of their 20th child into their family as reported by Daily Mail. Rachel Hutchins will be allowed supervised visits to his son as she is on probation for three years. She gave up custody of her son because she is homeless and unemployed and cannot support her son.

The Duggars became famous when their family was featured in the show "19 Kids and Counting." However, following the exposure of their son Josh Duggar's child molestation scandal, the show was canceled by TLC according to TV Line. Two of the grown-up and married women in the family formed "Counting On" featuring Jill Duggar Dillard and Jessa Duggar Seewald.

The Duggar family continues to grow bigger every year as adult members of the family marry and bear children. They continue to get their fans' support even if they are no longer visible on television. The increases and achievements of the family continue to capture the interest of their followers.
