(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)

KEITH KUNTZ, WTNH REPORTER (voice-over): It's hard enough feeding one. But when you have six, it's a whole different story.

DEBRA FINCK, MOTHER: OK, this done.

KUNTZ: Welcome to dinner at the Finck house.

Debra always wanted a big family, but at 34 she never imagined she'd wind up with three sets of twins.

FINCK: I just feel so blessed, every day.

KUNTZ: Meet Alex, Amanda, Stephen, Samantha, Daniel and David.

PAUL FINCK, FATHER: At home it's amazing, and it's hectic, and it's crazy.

KUNTZ: Debra and Paul adopted 6-year-old Alexandra and Amanda at birth. Stephen and Samantha are 20 months, paternal twins, and were born in vitro. Then, when the Fincks thought they couldn't have any more, along came another set of twins, five-month-olds David and Daniel.

P. FINCK: It's a marathon.

KUNTZ: And a lot of work.

P. FINCK: Yes.

KUNTZ: Every day the couple goes through two and half dozen diapers. Bottles, and four loads of laundry.

D. FINCK: All those moms that complain about one baby? Come to my house! I'll cure you.

KUNTZ: People are always asking, how do they do it? D. FINCK: He helps a lot. He really does. HE's a big help.

P. FINCK: At this point, know what each other is doing, and know how to fill in the gaps, from what they're doing to what we're doing.

KUNTZ: Quiet time is rare. Sometimes it's even a challenge for the Fincks to carry on a conversation.

P. FINCK: We'll get about two sentences in. Then we have to change the baby.

D. FINCK: There's some cookies from the cookie jar.

KUNTZ: They wouldn't have it any other way, although Paul admits the family is big enough.

P. FINCK: I think we've had enough. We've maxed out.

KUNTZ: For the Finck family, three sets of twins are their greatest gift.

P. FINCK: Hi five.
