On the subject of pets, I remember a great t-shirt from back a few years. It showed a cute cat sitting amongst children's toys. It said, "We got rid of the children. The cat was allergic."

 

:laughing-jumpingpurple:  My daughter would wear one of those, substituting children to parent, if she could afford to get rid of me.  Alas, she's only 12.

I can see this ending very badly.

Any domestic foster/adoption agency that even remotely complies with the law would laugh them out of the office. They already have too many other kids living in the home, there is public documentation of physical and sexual abuse in the home, there is zero confidentiality because the whole thing is purely for publicity, and Michelle and JB are too old.

Michelle can barely tolerate moderately well-behaved children and refuses to acknowledge that her son sexually abusing her young daughters could have any negative effects on them; she will not want to deal with a child who was exposed to abuse. She will likely not deal well with a child who has disabilities that don't make them passive and docile (I'm sure that when she thinks "special needs child", she thinks of a happy, docile child with Down Syndrome or a child in a wheelchair -- they come pre-blanket trained!)

So that leaves two options: use an unscrupulous foreign adoption agency that's little more than human trafficking (which WILL be found out by the press or us), or buy a baby off of a nice white fundie girl who front-hugged her Special Friend a little too hard.

Either option might be a little too sleazy even by Duggar standards of sleaze.

Possible that a fundie girl could leave a nice white blue eyed baby on their doorstep, but if they want to legally adopt, they still have to follow the law. Still, the Duggars wouldn't have to register the birth or get a SSN. They could keep the child off the grid. Of course, then they couldn't parade the child to show how Godly and caring they are.

Not going to happen. Nice try, Duggars. We're not falling for it. :P

I have a hard time believing this would be too sleazy for the Duggars.  They would see it as saving the baby and many the fundie  girl.  I see no reason they would find this objectionable, maybe I'm missing something though.

Mullet wants to help a child.

How about helping your own children woman?!?!?!?!

Oh wait, that's what your daughters are for...

Exactly. Michelle wants to be pregnant. Period. She does not want to help a child of any race or any child with disabilities. She is lying through her fundie teeth. It is a publicity stunt just like John and Kate pulled shortly before their show tubed along with their marriage. I feel for their children. I can't imagine having parents who care so little and spend so little time with me but announce they want another child. It would feel like a slap in the face.

Josie would not handle another child well. She is the special one and is not going to give up that title without a fight. She will not be sweet about it. She will not smile. She will be mad and let them know it.

Agreed.

Also, adoption is not "help." Adoption is making the commitment to become a parent to that child for life. Hopefully the child does benefit from that, but you can't go into parenting treating it like a charity project. That's not fair to the child, who deserves to be fully loved and cherished, not used to make the parent feel like a savior.

If Michelle sincerely wants to help a child, she should volunteer with some sort of children's charity instead.

If Michelle wants to help a child she should start being a better Mom.

No woman with that many kids still so young should have the spare time needed to get her hair done, let alone       volunteer with other kids...

All the children are at least school-age now rather than littles, and volunteering together can make a great family activity. I was thinking more of them volunteering together. :)

Ahhh, so that's who this blind's about: 
http://blindgossip.com/?p=75636#more-75636

Wait a minute, in this blind item, they are talking about someone who recently got a DUI. Now, if this is really J'Chelle, I can see the next scandal coming...:boom:

However, I doubt it. And also, blind items aren't really a reliable source. Anyone can submit them, and they are usually kept so vague that they would fit several people.

That article is talking about one of those teen moms on the Teen Mom series. I hope it's not the one that got in a major hair-pulling girl-fight and got hauled off by the police. If she gets to adopt, they would think Michelle is Mother Theresa.

I was referring to Farrah Abraham. I thought that was clear since I posted that comment right under one about Farrah... 

Although, I must admit that my first thought when I saw the blind item was how funny it would be if it was Michelle! :pb_lol:

Sorry, my bad, I must have skipped reading the whole post and article above since I don't even know the tv show or any of the participants. :my_blush:

If Farrah Abraham is getting baby, I struggle to see the Duggars being prevented from getting one.

Two very different kinds of crazy, but still :trainwreck:

Please tell me that this is NOT true!!  I have watched her from the very beginning (guilty pleasure) and she is awful!  I would rather see a child raised by wolves than her or the Duggars!

She is really just incredibly awful. I watched her from the beginning too and she was one of the few that are actually hard for me to watch. I just need a break after a few minutes of that girl. Maybe Sophia and adoptee will find respite in one another. Hopefully.

Did you see her reprimanding Sophia in the recent trailer for some terrible Mtv show called Teen Mom OG (which I may have to at least watch in a fast forwardable format)? It's really rich to watch her try to tell her child that she (the child) is selfish and immature and only thinks of herself. The lack of self reflection is not unique to fundies.

This will be the 2nd season of Teen Mom OG. (stand for Original Girls.  Pathetic that I know this).  Anyway, she is the worst of the worst and that mother of hers is no prize either.

Spoiler

 

No spoiler here, just can't ditch the tag..

 

If porn stars are now able to adopt (Looking at you Farrah) well maybe Danica can help Michelle out with her          application.

 

While Anna serves them sweet tea..

The Duggars can probably get some poor lady with 6+ kids in a 3rd world country to hand over her brood (I know a fundie family who did this). Then, Michelle can say "These are our 19 children, I gave birth to every one of them! These are our other 8 adopted children, who we have saved despite the sins they carry!"

The part I haven't reconciled yet is I'm sure they couldn't live in the TTH and share rooms with their precious children, lest they act on the sins they carry. So they'd have to have their own boy/girl rooms in the storage barn with two lucky Duggar kids as chaperones / teachers / parents.

(Joking, sort of...)

What is wrong with this world? My brain is about to melt, yet I'm sitting here giggling because that's what FJ is all about, right?
