Duggar Adoption Bombshell: Jim Bob and Michelle Take on Child No. 20
Jim Bob Duggar and his wife, Michelle Duggar, just received the ultimate blessing — according to court documents obtained exclusively by In Touch, the TLC stars will adopt their 20th child!
Though In Touch chose not to reveal the eight-year-old boy’s identity, we know he is already part of the family; his birthmother, Rachel Hutchins, is Michelle’s troubled niece.
“She [Rachel] gave up custody of her son [in August 2015] to her mother, Michelle’s sister Carolyn. But in July, Carolyn suffered a stroke,” a source explains.

Rachel already signed over guardianship to Jim Bob and Michelle. The controversial couple is due back in court in November to hopefully make things permanent.
