The Duggars have stated that they believe nature and God will control how many children they have.

Michelle Duggar does not get any kind of prenatal testing, and feels God will give them what they can handle. She does not worry about health risks due to her increased age.

The Duggar’s earn their living from commercial properties they own. Jim Bob is a former state legislator for Arkansas.

All the children are home schooled.
