"We hope to adopt a lot of kids," Jessa, 22, told People in a cover interview for its latest issue. "If God blesses us with biological kids of our own, it's not going to quench our desire to adopt."
"Kids are so important," added Ben, 19.
The couple is currently checking out the adoption process and doing research on how to bring a child home in order to extend their family. Jessa and Ben are clearly following in the footsteps of Michelle and Jim Bob Duggar who have 19 children, however, Michelle gave birth to all her kids the natural way.
Jessa and Ben now live in Springdale, AR, away from their siblings. Jessa has 18 brothers and sisters, while Ben is one of seven children born to Michael and Guinn Seewald of Hot Springs, AR.

Jessa and Ben announced their engagement in August 2014 and wed in November of that year in front of nearly 1,000 guests. Now that they're adjusting to intimacy and married life, they are reportedly figuring out a lot about each other.
"We try not to argue," Ben told People.
"If we have a hard time and we talk about it, you just love each other so much more afterwards," Jessa explained. "After a disagreement, I often feel, 'I have never loved you more than I love you now.'"
