Patty and Carlos Hernandez (North Carolina, USA) have 17 children - 7 boys and 10 girls - including 3 sets of twins!

The family was featured in a 2022 The Mirror article titled “Mum-of-16 pregnant AGAIN as she gives all of her children names beginning with C”

In the article she stated: “We are doing God’s will and our prayer to him is to extend our family more if he wants to.” “We always wanted a big family but never thought God would bless us this much.

In an article by The Sun, Patty stated “When people find out we have 17 kids, they ask why, and I tell them that they are a blessing. Some are quick to judge, saying I shouldn’t have any more children and we need to stop. I respond calmly, saying that we’re a very happy family, my children are all kind and amazing people, and Carlos and I love watching them flourish. Others leave nasty comments online, saying we must rely on government support, which annoys me, because it’s not true – we don’t get any help at all. Although my last pregnancy was the hardest, I have no doubt that I will conceive again very soon, and Carlos and I will be excited to add even more children to our family. My doctors have told me there’s been no adverse affect on my body and it’s up to me if I want to keep having more, so that’s exactly what I’ll do until the menopause stops me.”

The children’s names and ages listed in a 2023 The Sun article:

Carlos 14
Christopher 13
Twins Carla & Caitlyn 12 (her only cesarean birth)
Cristian 11
Celeste 10
Cristina 9
Twins Calvin & Catherine 8
Caroll 6
Twins Caleb and Caroline 5
Camilla 4
Charlotte 3
Crystal 2
Clayton 1
Canaan, born February 2023

Augustina Higuera (Texas, USA) has 15 children, all girls, including three sets of twins!

Belicia, Nyelli, Liliana, Vanessa, Daniela, Cecilia, Luz Elena, Marielena, Annalilia, Araceli, Hailee, Braelee, Isabelle, Bella and Monica

The family was featured in a Daily Mail article titled “Supermum, 29, has 14 daughters but says she won’t give up until she has a son” in 2016. In the article she said “It’s chaos looking after 14 girls but we wouldn’t have it any other way. I’ve always wanted to be a mum. When I was younger, I spent a lot of time looking after my younger brother and sister. Although twins run in my family, I never expected I’d have three sets. I know we’re blessed.”

Sadly Augustina passed away after a car crash in 2020. The daughters’ names are listed slightly different on the article compared to Augustina’s obituary as well as her headstone, but I’ve chosen to list them here as they are on her headstone 💕
