Illinois couple welcomes 100th grandchild!!!
QUINCY, Ill. — A western Illinois couple recently celebrated the birth of their 100th grandchild.
Leo and Ruth Zanger of Quincy have 53 grandchildren, 46 great-grandchildren and one great-great-grandchild. The birth of great-grandson Jaxton Leo on April 8 made the number 100.
Leo Zanger tells The Quincy Herald-Whig that “the good Lord has just kept sending them.” He says the family “could start our own town.” Ruth Zanger says “there’s always room for one more.”
The Zangers have been married 59 years and have 12 children. The youngest, 31-year-old Joe, was already an uncle 10 times when he was born.
Most of the family lives in the Quincy area. When they get together, they rent a church hall and it takes 50 pounds of ham or 10 turkeys to feed everyone.

Many are adopted. She adopted a few from orphanages in the Ukraine. Some are special needs and some were aging out. They age out pretty young over there.
I don't know how she does it but they always look happy and like they are having an amazing time.

That's awesome to hear. I think people who choose to adopt are so special. It takes a certain type of person and they really are doing something amazing. Everyone deserves a home/family. I know people rag on celebs for adopting (especially if ifs a kid from overseas) but a child is a child. Shouldn't matter where he or she comes from... They still should feel loved and wanted and if someone can provide that, that's great.
