Controversial Mum of 9 by 4 Dads Sparks Fury with 10th Baby Plans

Whittney Dawn, a 27-year-old mother from the US, has garnered significant attention and stirred controversy by openly expressing her desire for a tenth child, despite already having nine children with four different fathers. Her journey into motherhood began at the age of 16, and she has welcomed a child almost every year since, fulfilling a long-held wish for a large family. Whittney's children include Brandon, 10, Kinley, 9, Namaya, 8, Dawson, 7, twins Cambriella and Camden, 5, Octavia, 4, Liam, 3, and Kyus, who is two months old.
The intricate structure of her family developed through several relationships. Her second partner adopted her eldest daughter, Brandon, as his own, and together they had three more children. Following the end of that relationship, she had twins with another man. Currently, Whittney is married to William, her fourth partner and the biological father of three of her children. William's acceptance and love for her existing large family was a significant factor in their relationship, with Whittney noting his role as an "amazing dad from day one."
Despite the apparent happiness within her family, Whittney's life choices have faced substantial public scrutiny, particularly on social media platforms. She has shared that she receives numerous negative comments, including admonitions to "keep my legs closed" and questions about her knowledge of birth control, with some critics likening her childbearing to "popping money from an ATM." Whittney, however, remains unfazed by these criticisms, defiantly stating to her detractors, "Make me."
Even her own family has voiced concerns about her plans for another child, yet Whittney maintains that she is not ready to cease expanding her family just yet. While she acknowledges that she will likely stop having children one day, she states that she doesn't know when that day will be. The viral nature of her story on YouTube, which garnered over 11,000 views, sparked a deluge of comments. Many expressed sympathy for her children, fearing they might be "parentified" or "stuffed into that little house," and questioning her ability to provide adequate attention and financial support for such a large family. Others highlighted the number of different fathers as a point of contention. Despite the widespread public debate, Whittney and William appear resolute in their family planning decisions.
