While all Derrico 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren haʋe names start with the letter ‘D’, Carter is an exception because his parents wanted to give him a short and unique name. Karen and Deon welcomed triplets Dawsyn, De’Aren and Dyʋer into their family in 2019, bringing the total to 14.
“They are all naturals,” Karen said. “We don’t have many people on either side of our family. But we have the most groups that anyone has ever heard of. After our oldest, I have two ᴍɪsᴄᴀʀʀɪᴀɢᴇ. When I got pregnant, my doctor started me on medication to maintain my pregnancy. But all of our 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren were naturally convinced. Not a single round of I.V.F.”

Parents Karen and Deon Derrico work hard to get their 14 children ready for the day, but it’s not easy. “It was like a morning notice at Derrico’s house,” she said. “Everything is a mess. “Sit down, eat breakfast and do things together,” we always remind them. When they fail, it’s clearly a job. Sometimes, keeping everyone dressed and fed can feel like an expensive Olympic sport. Oh my god, the money we spend on food. Monthly income ranges from $2,500 to $3,500. We go through 15 boxes of waffles and 20 rolls of toilet paper in a week.”

But Karen was not upset at all. She added: “This is us, this is our life. We not only chose to raise a large family, but we also chose to make sure we could provide for it.”
