Did they approach the foster care system or got in touch with agencies?
Counting On: Jessa Still Gets Her Baby Fever
The couple currently has three children, Henry 3, Spurgeon, 4, and Ivey, 13 months. Even before the couple got married, they have been thinking about adoption. The love to have a full home. However, Jessa might not be keen on following the footsteps of her parents on this one. They are taking it one at a time and are happy about it. Even though, she revealed that she gets her baby fever every once in a while.
She is a fan of growing up with a lot of siblings. Jessa thought of them as best friends and if one of them wasn’t getting along, there were others to look up to. The couple welcomed their little daughter in 2019 in May. Jessa revealed that the toddler seems keen on trying what her parents are eating. The om of three also stated that her youngest daughter was adventurous.
Counting On: Will They Wait Till Their Children Grow Up?
Jessa and Ben revealed that they could wait till their kids grow up to go off living their lives. However, Jessa thinks that it would be nice if the kids had a sibling growing up.

The couple’s way of upbringing might not be at par with how Jim Bob and Michelle raised Jessa and her siblings. However, Ben and Jessa are planning ahead for their own little family where they try to focus on one child at a time.
