The Dougherty Dozen: How One Couple Built a Family of Thirteen Through Adoption and Birth

In a heartwarming account shared by the Dougherty Dozen, parents Josh and Alicia detail their remarkable journey to becoming a family of thirteen. After nine years of infertility, the couple embarked on the path of adoption, welcoming Alex into their home at age five. Just six days later, they discovered they were pregnant with Zoe. Their family continued to grow rapidly. The following year, they adopted James from foster care, and two weeks later, Dash was born. They later took in Jordan and Jason through foster care, eventually adopting the twins. During this period, they also welcomed two more biological children, Bodi and Harley. In 2022, Deshaun joined the family through kinship care, and they now have permanent custody. The Dougherty family's story exemplifies their dedication to creating a loving and expansive home for their children.
