A 37-year-old woman in the United States, who has had 12 children in 12 years, said she would never use contraception. Recently, the mother shared her story on social networking sites.
Courtney Rogers, 37, and her husband, Chris, are from Santa Fe, New Mexico, where Courtney first gave birth 12 years ago when she was 26, according to U.S. media reports on March 7. The couple now has 12 children under the age of 12.
"When our first child was born, I was almost 26 years old and didn't know we would end up with 12 kids (including twins)," Courtney said. I'm excited to be a stay-at-home mom. ”
Courtney has been criticized by many for having children too often. The mom said that when she was pregnant with her 12th child, her 11th child, Cade, was only three months old.
She said: "It took me a long time to announce it because I was a little embarrassed and worried about what people were thinking. "Looking back now, I would ask myself, 'What's so embarrassing?' "Moms, there will always be people who think you're too young, or too old to have children. Everyone has their own opinion. "Don't let anyone steal your joy of having a baby. Your baby is what you want, and that's what really matters. ”
In addition, Courtney said that although there are already many children, she will never use contraception.
In addition to caring for a dozen small children, the couple has a farm to take care of. "The kids have been homeschooling, we started farming six years ago and we currently have sheep, pigs and chickens," Courtney said. "I plan to expand the garden next spring to add poultry, and we are waiting for the ewes and pigs to give birth to their pups."
