Baby talk is dominating the Seewald and Dillard households nowadays, what with the recent arrival of Ben and Jessa's son Spurgeon Elliot as well as the ministry work of Derick and Jill, which opens up the possibility of adoption.

According to PEOPLE, Ben recently said he wants to have "15 sons." He and Jessa earlier revealed their plans not just to have biological children of their own but also to adopt several kids. Instead of feeling overwhelmed by her husband's declaration, Jessa gamely supported his dream.

"I think it'd be awesome. I'd love to have 15 sons," she gushed.

Meanwhile, her sister Jill, who is currently living in Central America with husband Derick and son Israel David, is also considering adoption. She jokingly said Ben and Jessa would surely "leave (Central America) with some little ones" had they gone on the same mission.

"(They'd) be like, 'We'll take that one and that one and that one! We'll take 'em all!'" Jill laughingly said.

Derick revealed that they aren't closing the possibility of adoption as well. "We can definitely relate to Jessa and Ben's desire to adopt and want to just meet those (kids') needs. I think we would definitely consider the idea of adoption," he said.

Derick shared that his own mother Cathy Byrum is adopted, so he understands its importance. "It kind of hits home with me. We both think it's a wonderful thing. We've talked about it a lot, and we're definitely considering it," he said.

For the moment though, Derick and Jill are neither expecting any children nor actively engaged in the process of adoption.
