Family history
editVictor and Digna Carpio are both immigrants to America. As a child, Digna was sent by her divorced parents to the Ecuadorian mountains to work.[1] When she emigrated to New York she spoke no English. Victor Carpio works as a maintenance man for the city Parks Department,[2] and the family lives on his income (about $1800 per month[3]).
The Carpio sextuplets are billed as America's first Latino sextuplets, and are bilingual, speaking both Spanish and English.[4] They were born 15 weeks premature, and several of them suffer medical issues as a consequence.[5]
