From the article:

Ask Jeane Briggs about her kids, and the conversation can last a long time, spanning many names and continents, and containing enough joy and heartache to fill several lifetimes.

That’s what happens when you’re a mom of 34 kids — five biological and 29 adopted.

Briggs and her husband Paul began adopting children almost 30 years ago, and they’re not done expanding their family yet.

2. Everyone needs a hobby. I collect stamps. n/t

3. They're happy and the children are happy and I suppose that's all that matters.

I don't want to have any children but I'm happy for those that want them.

4. Some people raise cattle. nt

5. 29 of them adopted, I'm fine with that. The five by natural birth break my personal code.

Leave the world intact, do not take more than can be replenished. Do not add to the world's problems, including the present unsustainable population.

Glad that most of the children are adopted, that's huge!

6. Yup, hugely different than Duggars

7. Adopting rather than having many = more responsible than the Duggars, IMO. n/t

8. I thought so, too.

I would love to adopt, but I can't afford it right now.

There are so many kids who need homes. If the pro-lifers want to call themselves that, instead of harassing people at clinics, they could just take in all the kids who are currently in foster care.

9. Good for them...helping those in need while the Duggers are trying to prove they're rabbits...
