Anna Duggar Gets Birthday Message From Josh’s Parents: Where Is She Living Now?

Anna Duggar’s mother and father-in-law wished her a happy 27th birthday by letting her know just how thrilled they are that she agreed to marry their son. Unfortunately, Anna probably wasn’t planning on spending her big day in hiding.

Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar shared Anna Duggar’s birthday wishes on the Duggar Family Official Facebook page. Their words were accompanied by a photo of a heavily pregnant Anna, smiling big and showing off her big baby bump.

“This is a young woman we love so dearly!” the Duggars wrote. “Anna is not only a wonderful wife and mother but she is a dear daughter-in-law to us and a precious friend. I’m so touched by her steadfast faith in Christ and her kindness at every turn.”

The 19 Kids and Counting stars went on to let Anna know that they feel very lucky that she joined their massive family.

“When you pray for your children growing up you always think about who they will marry and who will end up joining your family. Wow, we are so thankful that God brought Anna into our lives. Anna, we love you so much. Happy, happy, happy 27th birthday!!!”

The Duggars definitely have a good reason for being so thankful for Anna Duggar. As the Inquisitr previously reported, Anna was informed about Josh Duggar’s dark past early on during their relationship. However, it’s unknown whether he told his future bride all of the sordid details about how he sexually molested four of his younger sisters when he was a teenager — it’s possible that he only referred to an unspecified sex-related sin.

If Josh did tell Anna Duggar the whole truth, she didn’t behave the way most women would if they found themselves in a similar situation — instead of running for the hills, Anna agreed to marry Josh anyway.

In a statement to People, Anna Duggar even tried to downplay Josh’s actions by referring to the sexual molestation them as “past teenage mistakes.” Now, Anna believes that her husband has changed his evil ways for good.

“He continued to do what he was taught. [I know] who Josh really is – someone who had gone down a wrong path and had humbled himself before God and those whom he had offended, someone who had received the help needed to change the direction of his life and do what is right.”

Anna Duggar is likely celebrating her 27th birthday at Josh’s childhood home. Josh and Anna decided to move back to Arkansas after Josh lost his job with the Family Research Council in Washington, D.C., and Josh’s family members might be the only people they feel comfortable around right now — Josh isn’t exactly popular with the general public now that everyone knows what he did to his younger sisters. Josh probably decided that going out to dinner for Anna’s birthday was a bad idea.

Josh and Anna purchased a home in Arkansas back in January, but the Pickles and Hairspray Facebook page says that Josh and Anna are currently hiding out in the Duggars’ guesthouse. This could be for safety reasons, or it could be because they haven’t finished renovating and furnishing their new home.

Anna might choose to stay in the Duggar guesthouse until she gives birth to her fourth child. 19 Kids and Counting fans know that Anna’s in-laws were present for all her previous births, so she’ll likely appreciate help again. According to Wetpaint, Anna Duggar’s due date is July 10, and she and Josh are expecting a baby girl.

The 19 Kids and Counting camera crew recorded the births of all three of Josh and Anna Duggar’s kids. However, there’s no word on whether Duggar fans will get to see Anna’s next birth on TLC.
