Miraculous birth of septuplets after 18 years

Kenny, Kelsey, Natalie, Brandon, Alexis, Nathan and Joel were called "The Seven Children from Heaven". In 2015, the seven children from that time celebrated their 18th birthday, marking a wonderful journey. Looking back at that time, it was not only luck but also the care and education of Bobbie and her husband Kenny that made the miracle. No one but the parents understand best the difficulties and hardships of this. Therefore, it is even more admirable that all 7 children were raised by gentle love and thoughtful care.

Back in 1997, Bobbie and Kenny wanted to have a second child, they went to the IVF Center for help because Bobbie was having trouble getting pregnant. After some time after infertility treatment, Bobbie learned that she was pregnant with 7 children. She and her husband thought about reducing the number of fetuses to ensure the children developed well. However, the doctors convinced them to keep the fetus and these religious parents made the right decision.

The children were born very small, each weighing only about 1.13 kg and the heaviest was 1.5 kg. Doctors tried their best to keep the seven children alive and let them grow up healthy. Alexis and Nathan were born with symptoms of cerebral palsy, but after surgery, their condition improved. Currently, they are all healthy and go to school like other children. Having seven children at once was a big financial pressure for the McCaughey family. Fortunately, they received help from charity centers and benefactors. They were given a new, larger house, free school meals and had fun holidays. Besides, Kenny also worked hard because it was a way for him to teach the children about the importance of what they achieved.

Their eldest daughter, Mikaya, who was born a year earlier than her seven siblings, also helps her mother in taking care of her younger siblings.

In the second row from left to right are Brandon, Alexis, Joel, and Nathan. In the first row from right to left are dad Kenny Sr., Kenny Jr., Kelsey, Natalie, and mom Bobbie. The kids are all grown up now and have figured out what they want to do. Brandon will join the military after high school, Alexis wants to be an educator; Natalie wants to be an elementary school teacher; Kenny Jr. hopes to work in construction; Nathan and Joel are going to be computer programmers, and Kelsey is in choir and wants to be a professional singer.

The kids aren't just siblings, they're really good friends. Natalie, Alexis, and Kelsey were bridesmaids on Mikayla's wedding day.

The "seven children from heaven" will grow up and leave the nest. "When they're all gone, it'll be really empty. The house that's never been quiet will be empty," Bobbie's mother shared.
