One family has been getting a lot of media attention after they opened up about their surprisingly large family. I am not talking about three to five kids — instead, this couple has 22 children. Now, they have decided to open up about their massive family.

The Details: The Radford family is no stranger to the spotlight.
- They are the UK’s largest family.
- The couple has had 22 children together.
- They have had their own TV series, 22 Kids and Counting, and their own book, The Radfords: Making Life Count.
Couple With 22 Children Opens Up About Their Massive Family
Naturally, after learning about the immense size of their family, many people have one question: why? Children are a blessing, but they are a lot of work, and in today’s economy, having one or two children can be expensive, let alone 22.
Sue and her husband, Noel, opened up about why they had so many children, or rather, they opened up about the incorrect reasons. LadBible shares that one of Noel’s common complaints on the matter.
- “A lot of amateur psychologists may think the reason me and Sue have had lots of kids must be linked to the fact we were both adopted,” the father said. “But I don’t think there is any connection.
Sue doubled down on that opinion, arguing that “there is nothing in that – because I don’t even think about my birth parents. I don’t give the fact that I was adopted any thought at all, and never have.”
Started Early And Not Stopping Anytime Soon
The family didn’t directly share why they opted to have so many children. However, LadBible did share that Sue had her first child when she was just 13 years old. Additionally, Sue shared that she wasn’t ready to be done with babies quite yet.
While she no longer plans to have any biological children of her own, the mother shared that she is looking forward to adopting and or fostering more children.
