Utah County still home to many large families with 6 kids

Provo • Though rare, the percentage of families in Utah County with six-plus kids is holding steady, the Daily-Herald reports.

Even in a county known for children — and lots of them — Erica Goulding is used to her family being seen as unusual.

"People see us as a large family," Goulding said. "When I told people I was having my sixth, they looked at me like I was having my 20th baby."

Goulding was raised in a family of five kids, and often felt as if she had nine siblings due to a job sharing arrangement her mother had with another woman.
