After having nine children, a Pennsylvania couple has taken on a massive responsibility. After adopting four siblings, Maxine and Jake Young welcomed quadruplets one year later.

The couple had a biological son named Henry, but in December 2019, they welcomed four siblings they had been fostering for years. Following the adoption, the couple attempted to have more children, but were surprised when Maxine became pregnant with quadruplets, resulting in a family of 11 in just three years.

According to a GoFundMe page created by Jake’s mother, Arlette Young, Jake and Maxine married in May 2016 and desired a family immediately.

Arlette stated that Maxine had always envisioned being a foster parent and having a large family with adopted and biological children. Jake was completely on board and loved the idea of a house full of love, laughter, and some chaos.

However, they encountered more chaos and less than anticipated. The couple completed foster parent training and adopted three siblings on July 28, 2017. At the time, the children were four, two, and 11 months old.

A month later, a new sibling, a girl, joined them. ArLette explained that they were seeking a new member for their family. They experienced multiple miscarriages, chemical pregnancies, IVF, and IUI before giving birth to their son, Henry, in October 2018.
