Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar tell People they are considering an expansion of their enormous brood, although this time Michelle's vagina will be spared the pain of yet another child birth.

"We are open to the idea of adoption," Michelle tells the magazine. "We are praying about it, and we will see what God has in store. Love for children has been placed on our hearts."

Josh Duggar is making headlines. But, for once, it's not for because he's expecting another child.

The reality star and committed pro-creator is considering an executive position with the Family Research Council, a move that is not sitting well with GLADD President Herndon Graddick.

"Family Research Council is without a doubt one of our country's most dangerous hate groups, led by the most anti-gay man in America, Tony Perkins," Graddick told E! News Friday.

The FRC lists its agenda as the advancement of "faith, family and freedom in public policy and the culture from a Christian worldview."

This may explain why Duggars Tater Tot Casserole Recipe has gained such acclaim.

Jim Bob and Michelle took their 21 children out to eat at Bill's Bar & Burger yesterday in Manhattan and, approached by a TMZ cameraman soon after the meal, were forced to admit how much a simple family mean costs.

A couple hundred? Try $614!

That's what happens when you purchase shakes… and burgers… and fries for over two starting baseball lineups' worth of people.

It's also what happens when you eat in Manhattan.

Another week, another child set to join the ever-expanding Duggar family.

The oldest of Jim Bob and Michelle's many, many, many offspring, Josh, confirms to People that he is expecting his third kid with wife Ann. They are already parents to daughter Mackynzie, 3, and son Michael, 21 months.

"It is very exciting," Duggar tells the magazine. "It's fun for Michael and Mackynzie being so close in age and this baby will be, too. We feel very blessed and happy."

TLC will premiere 19 Kids and Counting: Duggars Do Asia tomorrow night, as this large clan jets around that continent for a few weeks.

We send our very best wishes to Josh and Ann and we hope they can tweak that Duggars Tater Tot Casserole Recipe a bit. It's gonna need another serving!

Goodbye, Arkansas. Hello, Asia.

The Duggar family is headed to Asia for a three-episode special on TLC next month, as you can only imagine the craziness that ensues when 25 individuals and 40 suitcases make such a trek.

And that's not even counting the crew!

Let's hope they didn't forget the Duggars Tater Casserole recipe back in the States and some of that deliciousness can be spread abroad - and let's also all 19 kids come back in one piece! Watch a sneak preview now:

19 Kids and Counting: Duggars Do Asia Promo

Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar of the popular TLC series 19 Kids and Counting are forming a coalition of pro-life groups to help fight against abortion.

The idea stems from their recent trip to the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, DC; to the Duggars, abortion is itself a holocaust.

"A couple of weeks after we went to the Holocaust Museum it dawned on us that there is a holocaust taking place right here in America!" the Duggars wrote.

"More than 56 million lives have been destroyed in our country! That is over 4,000 babies being killed and 4,000 women being wounded each day!"

Locked in a heated battle with Claire McCaskill, Todd Akin found himself on the campaign trail last week with unexpected supporters:

Michele and Jim Bob Duggar, the parents of 19 children and the stars of a TLC series about… the fact that they have 19 children.

Even if Todd Akin loses, let's hope he has learned the details of the Duggars Tater Tot Casserole recipe!

Akin, of course, was leading his race for the U.S. Senate in Missouri when he talked about the concept of "legitimate rape" in response to a question about abortion a few weeks ago.

Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar from 19 Kids and Counting and Kirk Cameron are like totally friends. He's even appearing on their show - for the second time!

Controversial Kirk, who recently defended Todd Akin and said homosexuality is destructive to society, hangs with the Duggar fam on its most recent episode.

The Arkansas brood chilled with their favorite actor in D.C. The gang decides to go to Ben's Chili Bowl, one of President Obama's favorite places in the city.

"It's one of our favorite places, to go," Jim Bob says. "We have that in common."

Kirk Cameron on 18 Kids and Counting

Kirk actually appeared on the show when it was just 18 Kids and Counting (above). "We decided to get together tonight and have a little reunion," he says.

Amusingly, on said reunion in our nation's capital, a couple of fans want to take a picture ... with the Duggars. They have no idea who Kirk Cameron is.

"Do you know who he is?" Jim Bob asks. "He's Kirk Cameron." Kirk, for his part, just smiles and says nothing. As Michelle says, "It was quite funny."

Up next: the family should totally invite Kirk over to sample its Duggars Tater Tot Casserole recipe.
