A mother shared her family life after giving 𝐛𝐢𝐫𝐭𝐡 to her 16th 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥.
Lyette Reback gave 𝐛𝐢𝐫𝐭𝐡 to a handsome 𝑏𝑎𝑏𝑦 boy named Vaughn. And the little one arrived in a somewhat unusual family because he is the 16th 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥 of Lyette and her husband David! That’s right, Lyette and David are the parents of 16 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren!
Having 16 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren was a big surprise for Lyette Reback, especially since she is an only 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥 and has never had much contact with 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren throughout her life.
She married David when she was 19, and they had their first 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥 a year and a half later. Since the 𝐛𝐢𝐫𝐭𝐡 of Daly Kay, now 21 years old, the couple has had fifteen more 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren. Eleven are biological, and four are adopted.
The couple has nine girls and seven boys. The 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren are named: Daly Kay, Ryli RaVaye, Bliss Berit, Kemper Clara, Glory Grace, Trinity Tate, Jon Courson, Liberty Cross, Judson Worth, Shepherd David, Ransom Witness, Sojourner Hope, Victory Rose, Stone Prosper, Verity Banner, and Vaughn McCrae.
Lyette educates all her 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren at home, and she spoke about the family’s routine in a statement on social networks. “I am a mother of 16 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren! 16 months after the wedding, we had our first 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥. I never imagined that we would have that many 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren. Taking care of a house with 16 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren is the equivalent of taking care of a small or medium-sized business. We probably serve more meals than small cafes do in a day. “When things get tough, I pray, and I won’t say I haven’t shed a few tears over the years,” Lyette said.
Lyette’s last pregnancy was not easy because she suffered from a hemorrhage. “I found out I was pregnant, and soon after, I started bleeding profusely. I called my gynecologist, and she said I was probably having a miscarriage. This was on a Friday, and she told me to come to the office on Monday. When I arrived at the office, the gynecologist went to do the ultrasound and just said, “Wow!” My son was still there! But I was also bleeding heavily.
His chances were low. I needed to rest, and with fifteen 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren at home, this is no easy task. After six weeks, the bleeding disappeared! I still had five other problems throughout the pregnancy, but I managed to overcome them all, and Vaughn was 𝐛𝐨𝐫𝐧 healthy. As he fought so hard and overcame all these complications, I decided to name him Vaughn in honor of a friend of ours who has that name and is a soldier.”
