Mom of 14 kids!

I'm sure you all heard about the single mother, no job,  who already had 6 kids and was artificially inseminated with 8 more which are still in the hospital.  She lives with her parents in a 3 bedroom house, keep in mind 3 adults and 6 toddlers, and eight more babies to come home once they are released from the hospital.  The house is in foreclosure, she is on welfare getting food stamps and she got a 6 figure disability settlement for an injury she received when she was working in a mental ward.  Word has it that she gave that money to the doctor for the artificial insemination.

Here is my question:  Was the doctor who artifically insenimated her irresponsible?  Knowing she already had 6 kids, and a single mother with no job on welfare?

Is it right for the CA taxpayers (she lives in CA) to food the hospital bill which already climbed to 1 million dollars or will be there shortly?

Will it be child abuse to have 3 adults and 14 toddlers/babies in a 3 bedroom house?  Her mother already expressed great concern and anxiety on national TV about this situation.  O'Reilly showed a clip from the Oprah show which will air next week showing that the woman's father thinks his daughter is not mentally stable.

She was seen shopping at Nordstroms spending $14.00 on lip gloss.  Not exactly shopping at Walmart.  Normally I would think that is her business where she shops, and yes it is her business but on welfare and foodstamps and dishing out $14.00 for lip gloss??  

How will she feed all these babies together when they are  all crying because they are hungry?  How will she take 14 kids for a walk?  In shifts?  Being on welfare I can't imagine being able to afford a Nanny to take care of 14 toddlers/babies.

Will child services step in and take the kids from her?  After all 14 babies and 3 adults in a three bedroom house is kind of tight space.


Is it fair to criticize her even though she was selfish wanting more kids on top of the 6 she already has with no job, no husband, and on welfare?

Don't misunderstand my post.  Once she was pregnant I am NOT suggesting she should have aborted all these babies, but the artificial insemination should have never taken place knowing she is single with no job, no husband, and on foodstamps and welfare.  I feel sorry for these babies and the woman's parents.  She is happy as hell saying "she wants many kids, that was always her dream".  Boy did that dream come true for her.

What say you?

No person is capable of taking care of that many children on their own.  Not even a 2 parent household could do it.  And certainly not in a 3 bedroom house, where not only Nadya, but her 2 parents live, too.  (well, her mother lives there...I think her dad works outside the country).

Kate (the mom on Jon &Kate + 8) said they had to have 50 people a week in to help them with their babies and 2 older children, for about the first year.   And she said that was not enough!  And they had a huge house (now an even bigger one) to live in.

It stunned me when Nadya said she was looking for a "big" house to rent....and by her own definition, "big" was a house with 4 bedrooms....and she said that would be "big enough" for all the kids.  
That alone shows she's not living in reality.

I think she's going to sue the infertility doctor.  That's what I think.  And he'll probably settle, and she'll get a couple mil.

These babies are miracles, no matter where they came from or how they got there. It is a miracle that they all survived and I think they are beautiful. She must have taken good care of herself in order for them to survive. There are so many abusive people out there that get their children returned over and over just to abuse them again. Has this Mom ever been accused of abusing her children?

Yes, that doctor was irresponsible........just because you can do a thing; doesn't mean you should do it.


I have a pretty good job and so does my husband.....we have 2 kids and my last lipstick came from Walmart.

CA is stuck paying the bill.

And.....Dr. Phil's episode on her just creeps me out.  Not her------him.   She's obviously got problems and he's exploiting her for his show.

sounds like you watched dr. phil the other day.

she obviously does love her children...and she admits that it was a bad decision to be implanted when she couldnt even afford to raise her other children.  with that being said...it's hard to justify such an irresponsible action and support her decision to keep these babies (courtesy of you and i).  
what mother has babies and DOESNT even do a damned thing to prepare for them?  nothing...not one preparation ! ! !  why?  waiting on you and i to foot the bill ! ! !
she talks a good game...but her mother was very forthcoming regarding her daughter's background.
i'll support her if and when SHE decides to put her children's needs above her own.
