After almost giving up on ever having a child, Mia and Rozonno McGhee finally expanded their family. Even more heartwarming, they found out they were about to become a household of eight. The twosome and their six bundles of joy became viral sensations after their family photos made their rounds on the internet.

There have only been 200 instances of couples who welcomed six children at one go. Sadly, not all the young tots survive past birth in most documented cases. That’s why the McGhee family attracted even more attention, and everyone who has been following their beautiful story would like to know how they are all fairing.

Fighting Spirits

Mia and Ro grieved following the devastating loss, but they didn’t give up. They kept trying, and she was soon expecting again. Even more moving, the doctor informed them that they weren’t only expecting one child, but they had six on the way. Theirs wasn’t the first recorded case of a woman from the United States having six children at a go.

James and Winnie Bushnell, who were Chicago residents, welcomed six tots in 1866. Sadly, they lost two of their infants in their first year out of the womb. The remaining four thrived into adulthood. Research has found that full survival was recorded in only 35 complete sets of similar multi-birth cases.
