The family adopted four children and then found out they were having quadruplets
Maxine Young published a picture on Instagram in April of this year with the caption: “What could be worse than a teething kid who is 19 months old? 4 infants under 19 months old!” Yes, our story’s heroine delivered quadruplets. But this enormous family is rearing more children than just those.
Dreamed of custody
Maxine and Jacob Youngy were married in 2016. From the beginning, the newlywed wife was eager to take the children from the orphanage. Her husband supported her in that decision. Then the couple took custody of two children.

After a little while, they received a call from the orphanage. It was discovered that the two boys who had been residing at Maxine and Jacob’s home had a third sibling. Without even asking her husband’s permission, our heroine decided to accept him into her household as well. Although she was aware that three kids was a lot, they couldn’t be split up.

It was only a matter of time before little Elliot, who was also related to Jacob and Maxine’s charges, was found. At that moment they had not yet formalized custody, but the children lived with them all the time. So, the family already had four children, but it didn’t end there…
Her children
For the first two years of her life with Jacob, Maxine couldn’t get pregnant. But finally that happy moment came. The woman became a mother, giving birth to a boy named Henry.

The doctors were rather skeptical about the condition of Maxine’s future babies. But everything went just fine. The woman gave birth to four healthy children. Now their family had nine babies at the same time.
A large family
So, let’s sort out who lives under one roof. Besides Jacob and Maxine are 10-year-old Aiden, Parker, who is 7, and 6-year-old Connor and 5-year-old Elliot. Then there is our heroes’ native son Henry, who is 4 years old. And the quadruplets, Beck, Theo, Silas and Cecilia. Now the little ones are about two years old.

Imagine what is happening in those children’s homes. They will eventually have kids in practically all of the high school grades. Of course, it’s challenging to give each baby enough attention, but the older children are already eager to assist their parents in caring for the younger ones.

Maxine says that everything in their house is definitely chaotic, but it’s still beautiful. Such an unusual story happened to the heroes of our material. Can you imagine yourself in their shoes? I’m sure I’d be a little scared, but what emotions does this family evoke in you?
