My God, this is what I call population explosion lol.
42 year old stay at home mum Lachelle Adkins is expecting her 15th child.
Jerome Adkins and his wife, LaChelle, knew from the very beginning they wanted a large number of kids but never expected 15.
The religious parents have 14 children between the ages of 19 months and 23-years-old. They have had no multiple births and number 15 is due in February 2014.
The couple have never used contraception, effectively leaving it up to fate to determine their progeny.
Adkins says she is always taken by surprise when she falls pregnant. “I honestly thought my 19-month-old would be my last.”
However, when asked whether her latest bun in the oven completes the family, she admits, “I honestly don’t know yet.”
“It works” because their marriage is based on agreement, she says. Mrs. Adkins is a stay-at-home mom who has primary responsibility for child-rearing (she also spent about 10 years homeschooling) and her husband is the breadwinner, who works as manager at a Wal-Mart store
12 of the children are actually Lachelle's, while the other two are her stepchildren.
Mrs Adkins gushed saying the children were commuted using a 15 passenger van and said ''We get out a lot, “It’s good to have older kids to watch the younger ones. We want our older kids to be role models and continue to set standards for the younger ones.”
Mr Adkins an ex military man gushed saying '' “My wife became my best friend when we got married. Ninety-nine percent of our decisions are joint.”
The family are working on getting a reality TV show and have shot pilot series of the show.
Mrs Adkins says she hopes the show will inspire other families .
I love this. Hope you get your show. I'll be waiting
