My theory? They just love kids. I don't think any are adopted, but it wouldn't surprise me either. Additionally, it may be that the five after Lincoln were partially attempts to make a brother for Lincoln, but I doubt they were disappointed that they wound up with more girls.

Was it ever stated what Lynn and Rita do for a living? I can understand the motive for having them, but how can they financially sustain all of them? Especially given how much electricity used by Lisa ALONE, and we know none of them are holding back in that regard. I guess they've got some pretty amazing tax returns from claiming eleven dependents, but that's only once a year. How do they make things work?
