About US

Welcome to the Bates family blog! 
We are so excited that you have stopped by our website about the Bates family. We started this blog back in February 2012. We have shared Birthdays, courtships, engagements, weddings and grandbabies. 

We have also shared about the Bates family's two TV shows United Bates of America and Bringing Up Bates. United Bates of America was on TLC for one season in 2012. Bringing Up Bates started in 2015 and went until 2021.

We would love to hear from you all so please make sure that you email us at Batesfamilyfan@gmail.com. Please know due to the emails that we get daily that we are unable to answer all of them, but we do try to answer them.

    1. Hi Anonoymous,
      Gil and Kelly have said on the show that the kids are old enough to make their own choices on what they wear when they leave the house. Alyssa wears skirts when she is around her family or when she is on the show.

  7. Isn't Nathan Bates in a courtship with Ashley Salyer, because you're only showing Tori's courtship with Bobby Smith???

    1. Hi Anonymous,
      Nathan and Ashley are actually no longer courting. The family announced it a few months back.

  8. They seem like a wonderful family! Mrs. Duggar, how did you meet? I don't follow the Bates (sorry, but I will!), but have with the Duggars. Are your families close? I think I heard something about a courtship between the two families.

  9. Why does it show the Duggars and Bates names together on a bunch of stuff? Who is the Bates family and why so connected to Duggars? Sorry I'm lost.

  11. Are Trace, Nathan, or Lawson Bates currently in a courtship? I am only on season 2 or 3 of the show and somewhat curious about current life as well.

  12. Hello to all of you,
    Currently, being locked up in France forces me to stay at home during the day and has allowed me to discover your family, because on television you can follow your family adventures. It seems that the program has been broadcasted in the afternoon since October. So we can watch the recordings of the year 2015.
    Your family seems very friendly and warm.
    Your family situation is quite exceptional for us. We consider a family to be large from 6 or 7 children. In our country, some very religious Catholic families can have between 7 and 10 children ;
    Reaching 19 children is absolutely prodigious.
    But what is most enjoyable in your family is that you are all adorable, fun, loving, balanced.
    I congratulate you for having achieved such a fulfilling family life.
    You practice tolerance and sharing on a daily basis.
    Congratulations.
    May the best be yet to come for all of you.

  23. Could you maybe change the featured post? You've had Trace & Lydia's wedding day up there forever. There are so many other things that could be focused on now. How about Jackson & Emerson?
