The family is known for its strict adherence to the Baptist faith and conservative values, which include restrictions against any birth control methods. However, the Duggars have been criticized by those who believe that such large families are not healthy for children and those who oppose their anti-contraceptive activism. On May 22, , TLC announced that they were pulling all episodes of 19 Kids and Counting after Josh Duggar, the eldest child of Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar, admitted publicly that he had engaged in acts of child molestation as a teenager; the show was officially canceled later that year.
However, certain of the Duggar family members have been featured in the follow-up series Counting On. They married on July 21, Both of them are real estate agents, and Jim Bob Duggar served two terms as an Arkansas state legislator from to The Duggars have often explained why they chose to have a large family. Initially, Michelle used birth control pills, but between her first and second children, she became pregnant while on birth control, and the pregnancy ended in a miscarriage.
There are nineteen children in the Duggar family. The oldest, Josh, was born in Jim Bob Duggar ran for U. Senate in Although he lost the race, the Duggars credit the beginning of their celebrity to this event. The documentary was called 14 Kids and Pregnant Again! The Duggars agreed to take part in the project when they were promised that their faith would be highlighted.

They involve prayers and hymns as part of their daily life, and they consider themselves Independent Baptists, which means that they do not belong to any specific branch of the Baptist faith. Family members work as spokespeople with the Financial Freedom Seminar. Jessa Duggar is now married to Ben Seewald. Jessa announced baby No. Jinger Duggar is also married! She and husband Jeremy Vuolo now live in sunny California , where they moved with their baby girl, Felicity Vuolo , at the end of June In May , she confirmed they are expecting baby No.

Sadly, the couple experienced a miscarriage with their first pregnancy, which they revealed in February Austin flips houses for a living, and it seems like Joy assists with that. The couple announced in May that they were expecting but broke the news to their fans in July they miscarried about halfway through the pregnancy.
Fortunately, the lovebirds shared some good news in March The star revealed she was pregnant again with a rainbow baby. They welcomed Evelyn on August 21, I believe from earlier shows that she shares James birthday of July 7 and that she is 3 years older than Jim bob but she is not listed.
What about the other duggars ie grandma duggar and deanna,Amys mother. Their birthdays should be down too. Wow I just love your family, I never knew that Cousin Amy was the same age as me, I thought she was younger. Bless you on the arrival of grandson Michael.. I know that Mackenzie is blessed with an angel as she was born on my grandmothers birthday.
I cant see what the the future holds for this family another duggar baby??? God Bless you all! Duggar Family, Well after looking at this list of birthdays I found that no one has the same birthday as mine, some very close tho my birthday is October 10, Also to the person who said to name the baby Janaya Noel, I like the middle name A LOT, that is my boyfriends middle name and if and when I have kids my first girl her name is going to be Noel Christine.
I just found out that Michelle and I share the same birthday I was born in though. This is an awesome family with outstanding family values. I am so pleased to find such a show and such a family on television, I hope people can get past the number of children and look more at the character of this family and the awesome example that they are setting for us all. I pray God continues to bless this precious family in all ways.
I personally would love the opportunity to spend a day or two with such them. Is there anyway you could post Grandma Duggar's birthday? I would love to know when that is! I love your family even though watching all those little ones run around makes me exhausted. I only have one child age 5 and by the end of the day I am on the verge of going crazy.
How about including jubilee shalom on this birthday list. Love your blog. Prayers for the Duggar family. Hi Anonymous! Any suggestions? Thanks for reading! How about a small spot at the bottom of the page titled in memory then Jubilees name and date then born to eternal rest. Its a hard one to call but it would show she is remembered and not forgotten. We will definitely consider it. Have a wonderful day, Lily and Ellie. What's up with that? You need a February baby!!
After listening to Michelles letter to Jubilee where she says if anyone asks her how many children she has she would say If you have a memoriam spot you could include grandpa duggar and caleb as well as Jubilee. It would show though they are not here they are not forgotten. Hi Readers! Thanks for all of your suggestions! We added an excerpt from Jubilee's obituary to the bottom of the birthday list. I know Michelle meant that she was willing to lay down her own life for this baby, even if it meant she would go home to Jesus.
But, now, I can't help but think that Jubilee laid down her life for her Mamma Michelle. Hey Duggars! I just wanted to let you know that y'all have a beautiful Family! I love big family's! I am the 9th child of 13! All the time we get comments good and bad But as long as we are serving the Lord and training our children in the way they should go! And teaching them about the Lord! Ya cant go rong! Go Dawgs! This is a great blog!!
So sweet to include Caleb and jubilee!! Can't wait to meet them someday!! I am the mother of two preemies babies. TyNeshia was born 27 weeks 3 pounds and 14 ounces.
She is now 24 years old. Married and having her first baby. Darreya was born 23 weeks 1 pound and 1 ounce. She is now 10 years old. My Prayers goes out to you and the family. Keep the Faith. Everything is in God's hands. How do the Duggar girls get so dark during the winter??
Do they go tanning???!!!! I don't think they should, but I have a feeling they do! I have loved watching all your shows over here in Australia i think your 19 kids are so well behave i have trouble controlling my 2 boys I am February baby Love the Duggars Hi Lily and Ellie!
Can you please include Grandma Duggar's birthday in the listing? Her's is in May too. Hi my name is Hannah and I would just like to say that I absolutely love your show, I watch it all the time and cannot get enough of it! I pray for your family all the time, and hope that one day I can have such a wonderful, in love with God, magnificent family such as yours!
Can't wait to see some more new episodes : and p. I only have 2 children. After having my first I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis so I was forced to use birth control. My oldest is 13 yrs in I became pregnant with my 2nd. He is now 2yrs old and due to my medication he was diagnosed with Spina Bifida.
Although he has so many medical problems he has been a blessing in disguise. I noticed that 2 of your children have the same birthdays. I watch your show every morning before I go to school! The Lord surely has blessed you with many beautiful children. I was born between John David and Jill on Dec. We enjoy seeing everbody dressed in modest aparrel. I do not wear pants either I'm a girl I wear skirts in public and coulottes around the house.
When I go swimming, I am in a tshirt and coulottes. People used to make fun of me for that but I didn't care. The Lord will bless you more than he has, for living a Christian or Godly life on screen and off!!!!
God Bless. I just wanted to tell you that you are such a blessing in my life. As a mom with multiple sclerosis, I have 2 children. It is very very difficult for me, but with my youngest right now, he is being assisted with his care through a loving family at our church.
Michelle, I so look up to you as a mom. I watch your body language, and listen to your tone and how relaxed it is. I want to be like that with my children. And I have been able to use it a lot, just trying to take deep breathes, and speak in a softer tone when correcting the children, and it really really does work.
The Lord has a great work in store for your lives, each and every one of you! Love from Illinois. How come John and Joseph are never on the screen!? Also by the way I really want to meet you guys! Brooke Hi Brooke, John and Joseph are currently working on a construction job. Combined with John's towing business, that has kept them busy.
Have a great holiday weekend! Lily and Ellie. Anonymous All of the Duggars are beautiful and one could not be considered more beautiful than another.
It must be wonderful to be a part of the clan. Do you know when the Duggars are comming close to Bristol VA any time soon?
I have their book and i really would like for them to sign it. And do you know when their other book is comming out? I'm a Lauren too. Lauren H. As of yet, no further announcements about the third book, "Growing Up Duggar," have been made.
So by the information at the bottom of the birthdays, they didnt name all their children with j's. It was after the birth of the twins that Jim Bob and Michelle decided to continue with "J" names. In case they had only one more child, they wanted he or she to feel like part of the family. Their dad's birthday is the day before mine!
If I get married to one of the Duggars then there will be a February Birthday because mine is February 28th. I think I saw somewhere recently that Mary Duggar's brithday was a few days ago and i would have liked to wish her a Happy brithday!!!
Anonymous why isnt Mary Duggar's birthday on the birthday list and Amy Duggar's birthday is? I mean if it wasn't for her none of these children would be here. Thank you! Until recently, her birthday had not been made public, so we chose not to post it. Lily and Ellie thank you for posting Mary Duggar's Birthday. I understand. What do you think about posting granpa Duggars brithday and passing, and Michelle's father also.
