A Drawback

Note for the folks at home: The "Kenyan Family" is considerably larger than its American counterpart. From my experience, a Kenyan family isn't considered "big" until the number of children reaches double digits. Furthermore, the prevalence of polygamy in the country (primarily the rural regions) allows the number of half-siblings in a family to reach thirty or forty. Adding to this is the cultural tradition of a family taking in children that can't be cared for by their biological parents. When queried about the maximum number of children in a Kenyan family, colleagues routinely answer, "Hundreds."
