TONTITOWN, AR - The Duggars have announced that their 20th child is expected to arrive in April.

The northwest Arkansas family's website posted the following announcement Tuesday:
We are so grateful to God to announce I am pregnant with our 20th child and due in April 2012. After recently turning 45 and since it has been almost 2 years since Josie was born, we didn't know if we would be able to have anymore. A lot of people have asked would we consider having more children after what we went through with Josie being born 3 & 1/2 months early due to pre-eclampsia. That experience was one of the scariest things we have ever walked through as a family. We thank God, and are grateful for the many prayers offered on Josie's behalf. What a miracle she is, our little sunshine, she is doing wonderful!

I have followed this family and I could only wish and pray that I had had such well behaved grounded children that have real values. Have all you want super Mom and Dad.

There is no way two people can give each child the indevidual attention,care and love they deserv. It sounds like they have children raising children... This in turn cheating the older children out of their childhood. These people need to figure out what causes this and put a sock on it.

They need to do some genetic testing on her cause if it isn't worn out by now, we need to make tires of of the same material, that way one set would last the life of the car. I agree with most everyone else, if the media would quit publicizing this craziness, they would quit having babies for money

They seem like a good family, but if you love kids that much...Couldn't you help out and adopt kids that are in foster care here in the state?

Have as many kids as you want as long as you can afford them, they're not inbred and you're a decent parent. These kids seem normal, happy and healthy. Not a damn thing wrong with this.
