18 Kids From One Vagina: Woman Births 18th Child

Posted by Cole Gamble

Sorry folks, America no longer corners the market in having ungodly hordes of children. Though we have the oft publicized Duggers and their 17 child brood, a woman in Canada just upped the ante by giving birth to her 18th. Suck it, Duggers!

"We never planned how many children to have. We just let God guide our lives, you know, because we strongly believe life comes from God and that's the reason we did not stop the life," said Alexandru Ionce, the proud papa.

One piece of advice for child number 18: hurry up and grab a deli counter ticket so you can get in que to spend a little quality time with your parents...in 2025.

Here's the question to you folks: how many children is too many? At what point do you have so many kids you're doing the rest a disservice because you can only spread your attention around so much.

Unbelievable as it may seem, the mother in this photo is only 44!  I guess 18 kids is enough to turn anyone haggard and gray with big old bags under her eyes.  Yikes!

God gives us only what we can handle. Who cares what other people think.

I think it's great.  I only have five kids (and only two of them are biological!) I am completely impressed with the Duggars and this family, too.  It takes a special kind of person to keep that kind of a family happy and healthy!
