I found my new Jon & Kate Plus 8.
Introducing the Jones Family from Austin, Texas.
Discovery Health Channel did a special documentary about the Jones Family and how they went from a family of three (they have an older daughter, Eliot) to a family of eight. They had fertility problems before using IUI to conceive their first daughter. Then they used the procedure again and got pregnant with quintuplets. They refused to undergo a doctor recommended “selective reduction” which would have aborted some of the fetuses.
There has been a lot of controversy surrounding the family about making that decision, specifically in their hometown. TLC has now picked up their Discovery Health test show. Could they be thinking about making the Jones Family their new Gosselin Family?
Dad Ethan and Mom Casey Jones also have a personal blog about their life with quintuplets (ie: their “Fab Five”). I think the family is adorable and oddly relatable. I’d love to see more from this family, but I suggest they go to mandatory marriage counseling FIRST. Here’s a segment from their test show:
I love the show…
They are very down to earth with the kids and the worries that they face.
