I don't think they get any aid. When they first married he had worked several jobs and had gotten his real estate license. He bought some property and used that to get ahead. At first they tried preventing and when she did get pregnant she miscarried. At that point they said they realized that the lord wanted them to have children and they would count them as blessings and pray that god would allow them to have. So they keep having. I know a while back they had showed something about him running a christian book printing business. They do live frugally. I admire them for doing that but wow.
I have been pregnant 3 times and ran the gambit with problems...there is no way I could manage to be pregnant 18 times with morning sickness etc to go through.
