Who is Tyler on 'Counting On?' Everything you want to know about the Duggars' followed son/ cousin and his mom, Rachel Hutchins Duggar.
If you are a fan of the TLC sequence Counting On, you might have spotted a Duggar member whose name does not start with a J — Tyler Duggar.
It's no marvel, then again, that viewers were perplexed about the Duggars having a circle of relatives member named Tyler, especially since he did not appear in the OG collection, 19 Kids and Counting.
So, who is Tyler Duggar?
In 2016, Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar bought transient guardianship of Tyler, who is the son of Michelle's niece, Rachel Hutchins. According to In Touch, the 23-year-old mother was unemployed and homeless on the time. She also held a lengthy felony history.
Rachel, who used to be simply a youngster when she had Tyler, was once arrested a few months sooner than the temporary guardianship used to be granted on legal fees for breaking and entering a tow truck business in Arkansas and stealing a pocket knife and $2 in alternate.
She was placed on 3 years probation and voluntarily surrendered Tyler to care. "She gave up custody of her son [in August 2015] to her mother, Michelle’s sister Carolyn. But in July, Carolyn suffered a stroke," a source mentioned of the Duggar guardianship. "There’s a strong hope that once that happens they will be able to adopt him."
The Duggars officially adopted Tyler a few months later.
In November 2016, the Duggar family made Tyler an official a part of the circle of relatives when his adoption used to be licensed. "Jim Bob and Michelle couldn’t be happier right now,” a source told In Touch. "Jim Bob and Michelle have made the child feel proper at house. They treat him like their own and he seems up to them as folks."
And three years later, Tyler, 10, has adapted to his new life in front of cameras — and was a pro when it came to decorating a fondant plane alongside Jana and Jackson on Season 9 of Counting On.
"We are so happy to have you ever in our house and a part of our circle of relatives! Your bright smile and sweet spirit brings a lot pleasure to us all," the Duggars said of their 20th child in 2017.
"Jackson loves having a 'little brother/cousin' to experience motorcycles and play with and browse your Bibles together. Our prayer is that on a daily basis you'll seek God's will on your life, and that God will use your existence in a wonderful means. We pray over you that considered one of your first memory verses from the Bible might be lived out thru your lifestyles!"
Tyler still keeps in contact with his biological mom, Rachel.
Even though Rachel's mom gave up custody of her son, the Duggars allow Rachel to see her son through supervised visitations. In 2018, a welfare check was conducted — and the Duggar family passed with flying colors. "The present mental, bodily and social situation of the incapacitated particular person is: Tyler is a glad and wholesome very connected and thriving 9-year-old," the report read.
"Tyler is these days residing in Springdale Arkansas with his great aunt and uncle, James R. and Michelle A. Duggar, as well as their children."
Watch Tyler and the remainder of the Duggar siblings on Counting On on Wednesdays at 9 p.m. on TLC.
