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