Json.Net deserialization using setter Methods

Question

Using the following example is it possible to use the AddChild Setter method in Json.Net during Deserialization to populate the list of children?

public class Foo
{
    private IList<Foo> _children;
    private Foo _parent;

    public Foo()
    {
         _children = new List<Foo>();
    }

    public string Name { get; set; }
    public IEnumerable<Foo> Children
    {
         get { return _children.AsEnumerable() }
    }

    public void AddChild(Foo child)
    {
         child._parent = this;
         _children.Add(child);
    }
}

You can add a custom type converter by creating a concrete implementation of the JsonConverter class.
