Duggar family news: '19 Kids and Counting' clan adds 20th child
The prominent television personalities of "19 Kids and Counting" have added a 20th child to their already huge clan as a new report has emerged, stating that the family has been granted temporary guardianship of a young boy.
According to legal documents obtained by In Touch, Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar are now the temporary legal guardians of an 8-year-old boy, whose mother is the niece of matriarch Michelle.
Rachel Hutchins, the boy's mother, has reportedly been struggling to provide the unnamed boy's needs. Since she is homeless and unemployed, it's reasonable that she has allowed the Duggars to care for her child.
The 23-year-old mother is also under probation for three years because of felony charges. In April, she was arrested for breaking into a tow truck business at Springdale, Arkansas and stealing an amount of $2 and a pocket knife.
An insider close to the situation said that Carolyn, Michelle's sister, was originally the person who was taking care of the child until she had a stroke in July. On Nov. 14, Jim Bob and Michelle will have to return to court so they can apply for permanent guardianship.
This is most likely good news for the famous Christian family since the story could potentially be depicted in the third season of "Jill & Jessa: Counting On."
In other news, a recent photo uploaded on the Duggar family's Facebook page has led fans to speculate that Anna, Josh Duggar's wife, may be suffering from some sort of domestic abuse from her husband.
The photo in question sees Anna with what some reports say might possibly be a black eye. A lot of fans commented on the photo, suggesting that Josh and Anna may have gotten in a fight, resulting to the purported black eye. On the other hand, some fans believe that it was just a shadow which unfortunately covered her eye when the picture was taken.
For now, it is best that fans take any rumor with a grain of salt, especially since there have been no reports whatsoever over the past weeks regarding another scandal that Josh could possibly be involved in.
