The World’s First Surviving Septuplets Are Grown Ups Now

Trying to Keep Things Private

As the excitement around the septuplets started to subside with time, it gave an excellent opportunity to the McCaugheys to get on with raising their eight children. They received a useful piece of advice from the Dionne family who had quintuplets that it is best to keep their family life as private as possible.

They acted upon the advice of the Dionne family with one exception; they would make a public appearance once a year on the birthday of their septuplets.
