6 children in Shanghai and loving it
SHANGHAI, China "One big, happy family" aptly describes the Gregory and Tracey Butters family big as in one of the biggest families residing in the largest city in the world's most populous country, and happy to be among fellow expatriate church members in the People's Republic of China.
The Butterses total eight including Harrison, age 12; Benjamin, 11; Edison, 8; Molly, 7; Oscar, 4; and Dorothy, 2. Understandably, a number of families worldwide can top that count some doubling it or more.
But the Butterses are Americans living in China, where the norm for a Chinese family is a single child.
Few LDS families and even fewer with such a large number of young children spend more than a couple of years in China before returning home.
