Terry's personal life has frequently come under public scrutiny, some of which he has welcomed, going so far as to put his foster children on his curriculum vitae as part of his anti-abortion "bona fides". Terry has been married twice, and has had children in both marriages. With his first wife Cindy, he had a daughter and then fostered two additional daughters and a son. He adopted the two youngest foster children. He has four sons with his second wife, Andrea.
