First of all I would just like to say how much I love your show. I watch every single show and if I can't watch when it comes on, I record it. I must say that your show has often made me cry. You see I am blind and have been since birth. I love babies and children so much so that I am told that I should have one some day. I would like to so much and hope that my wish for a baby comes true some day. The reason why your show some times makes me cry is because I wish that I could see all of them. My friend Monique who is also blind loves your family just as much as I do. I really enjoyed the one where Aden went to the farm and he said "Look there's sheep!" and John thought that he said some thing else. My boyfriend Lyle and I watch the show together. John and Kate I would just like to say thank you to the both of you for allowing us to be graced by your presence each Monday night.

Thanks for reading my email and have a great day.
P.S. We also enjoy some of Alexis' fun sayings. "Hims mean and her nice" are our favorites.
Hi Jon and Kate
I am a 21 year old, tattooed, feminist punk, the demographic that your show is certainly not targeted towards. I got my friends sucked into your show too after I convinced them to stay on TLC after Miami Ink. I have no idea why I love your show. Is it the cute kids? The snarky comments from Kate? The fact that you talk about poop? Who knows? Just wanted to let you know you're doing great job raising those kids, and that they (as well as both of you) make my heart melt. Please don't stop taping anytime soon, otherwise I'm going to have to go back to pretending to be a bad a #*.

Greetings to all each and every one of you,
My name is Tracy and our family lives in California. I am sending an email in the hopes that it may bless your day as you continue to bless mine. No doubt you are completely swamped on a daily/hourly basis and we would not expect a response, unless you felt compelled to do so. I am a Mom (Mama) to 19 month year old twins and love to hear about the lives of other parents who have multiples. Obviously you are the champion here and the word multiples is probably and understatement. Caleb and Tessa were born at 33 weeks and spent 31 days in the NICU. Over the past year we have worked through some physical and mental delays and are pleased that all things have worked themselves out. Thank you God! As a result of my experience in the NICU, I now volunteer for the March of Dimes and give support to parents at our local hospital in regard to their babies prematurity/medical conditions, etc. I can only imagine the experiences that you have gone through in this realm, but see how healthy your kids are and have turned 4!! How amazing!!
I watched the first special before your very own show kicked off and have just continued to be awed by you all. Other friends of mine watch the show and say things like, 'well at least you are not them" when I share my ups and downs with them or they see the show and my response whether I verbalize it to those people instead is more like "wow, they are really really doing it and not only that, they smile, they laugh, they get things done, they go places all at once and God really really has provided for them and will continue to provide for them." Your life in this show whether it has to be dramatized or not for us viewers is an awesome witness and I pray when I think of your family for your lives to continue to change others. So we truly thank you for that. I have also read all of the negative blogs and the comments made on the Internet in response to the parent choices or arguments etc. that were depicted in your show and I am one of those who thinks that these people are just looking for a reason to judge others who they don't really know and have no right to. Obviously you all love each other very much and are doing the very best you can with God's grace and leading and a 30 minute show cannot possibly show the every day interactions and the intense love that you all share. (Impossible.)
We are a Christian family who loves Jesus and are proud of what you are doing. Your favorite music is some of ours as well. If you have not already done so, check out a Christian contemporary artist named Mark Schultz. His songs, 'I Am' and 'Child of Mine' are just two that bless me everyday.
If there is anything that we may specifically pray for you, we would welcome the opportunity to do so. We respect your right to privacy and will remain praying for God's peace and unconditional provision for you. Thank you for taking the time to read this today and again thank you for your witness, your testimony, your bravery, your love for your family and for sharing your lives with us. We look forward to watching your show as it continues to make us love our children more and more and realize that.....nothing is impossible with God. (Luke 1:37)
Kindly,
Tracy
