Bro. Daniel,
Do you know if fertility drugs were used to accomplish this?

Well, I don't think I would have wanted to show my stretch-marked belly to the world, but some women think it's lovely. LOL!!!!!

I wouldn't call it immodest--just in bad taste.

Daniel, the pictures you shared are very cute! I love large families, and I would hope no one would denigrate a family for choosing to have a large number of children.

Yes, m'am. I believe she had suffered a couple of miscarraiges before using them.

Thank you, Brother!

Something I have thought about for a long time is that in the Bible as
far as I know, there has never been more than twins at a time born to
a woman. God sets some wise bounds.
My late mother had eleven children,
one at a time. She said she never desired even twins, but was thankful to
have had her children one at a time. God does not put on us more than we
can bear and HE knows what is wise. Man's tamperings is the reason we
have some unwise things going on.


Now, not for one moment am I speaking against this precious apostolic
couple.


I remember years ago when a Lewisville,TX couple had five babies, I believe
it was. It was big news and then there were more news, the couple divorced.

As far as the recent news concerning the woman with eight babies. That
whole scenerio wasn't of God. It was man/woman-made from the word go!
Not married, didn't want to marry the man that provided the male contribu-
tion to beget them. (or so was reported by the media) He loved her and
wanted to marry her but she wanted to do this by herself. If all this is true
I don't blame the grandmother one bit for not being happy about her having
eight more when the children's mother was living with her and already had
six children. No reflection on these precious children. They cannot help it if
their parents, etc. made unwise decisions. This woman has a problem.

Just some musings this morning!

Well... she's not necessarily immodest; but I think at some point she was…judging by her condition of course.

I agree, Sis. Falla. I have a large family myself, I love large families. But having ivf when you already have 6 children - and aren't even MARRIED, for Pete's sake! - well, that's a little much.
