Shortly after the septuplets were born, the McCaugheys decided they wanted to write and release a book chronicling their experiences.
The book was entitled, “Seven From Heaven” and a major theme that is evident throughout is Bobbi and Kenny’s faith and belief in God. You get the feeling that religion has played a significant role in bringing them hope and happiness when the odds are stacked against them.
Dodging a Bullet
When Bobbi and Kenny look back at that difficult decision, they had to make regarding selective reduction they can't help but feel so blessed to have seven beautiful children who have all grown up to be amazing young adults.
After all, they sought fertility treatment for a reason, and look what they have been given as a result.
Advocates
It would be a hard decision for any parent to make and it was a minor miracle that they were all born at all, but you can't deny it was brave of Bobbi and Kenny to proceed with all seven babies.
That being said, if you ask Kenny what he thinks about it, and he'll say, "Well, come to our house and tell us which four I shouldn't have had."
A Collection
It was decided early on that the children should not be in the public eye too much. That being said, they struck a deal with Gamma Press in 2001 that they could photograph the children once a year on their birthdays as a way to chronicle their progress.
This was a smart agreement as the family can look back on each year's birthday image. The honor was then given to Polaris Images.
Playing Outside
Being a septuplet is not a normal occurrence, so many people often ask if they had a typical childhood. Well, they played and were able to be creative, had a loving family home and spent time together.
Sometimes they'd just want to play in the garden or take their toys outside, but that's normal for any child.
