Would You Donate to Octomom?

I would not (and will not) donate one penny to her. There was no reason she needed to have these babies at this time. It wasn't an accident she got pregnant - she did it on purpose knowing full well she can't afford them. A good mom to her first 6 would have realized that having more would make life even tougher. She ignored the needs of her first children, I'm sure she'll ignore the needs of the new 8. :(

Never! I wouldn't give her one cent. Let the Dr. who helped her have the babies help her support them.

I don't think rewarding someone's bad choices is a very responsible thing to do. Giving her money, donations, shows and attention is rewarding her grossly negligent behavior.

This comment is the ONLY attention she'll get from me.

I love abigailnh2 response!

I agree with what Jill said: Let her Doctor help! I hope the babies will be taken care of. I also hope that this will help us rethink which procedures insurance companies do and do not pay for. I will be sick if she gets any kind of TV show, etc.

I agree with Jill: Let the Doctor help her with financial support. I do not wish bad things for those babies. I can't even imagine the logistics of taking them to pediatric appointments much less how many slots they'll take up in day care. My good friend has twins and was constantly shunned for taking up 2 slots in a competitive preschool here in town. I do hope that in the end the insurance companies will reconsider which reproductive procedures they do and do not cover. (they tend to not cover the more expensive procedures that tend to not produce these large numbers of babies.) Good luck to her and whoever is helping her with all those kids.

I will not donate a penny to her, because she will inevitably get my hard earned tax monies that I have to pay every month to Uncle Sam. I feel sorry for the babies, but my issue is with the mom and not the children. Was she looking for corporate sponsors? Was this her futile attempt at 15 minutes of stardom? I don't know, I don't care and I do not think that any of this is right. Let the doctor who did this to her help her because surely he should be brought up on moral charges for even doing this to her knowing that financially she could not afford these children. And personally, any corporation or "celebrity" that supports her will lose my support as well.

ABSOLUTELY NOT. This woman was completely irresponsible, selfish and STUPID.

She's getting foreclosed on. She has no job or source of income. She's apparantely DISABLED and she's on gov't support to get through life.

I'm not usually such a cut & dry kind of person, but I say sterilize this woman before she can do this again. Now she's going to cost us, the taxpayers, tons of money while she whimpers along on welfare and disability (she's disabled? HOW DID SHE CARRY 8 FREAKING KIDS SO LONG?!) and all the other BS.

I think the kids should be removed and placed in homes where they'll actually have a chance at a good life.

I will not donate money to this lady. She knew what she was doing and she be responsible to stand on her own two feet. She does not have my sympathy at all. She is very irresponsible and has the physical and (I hope) mental ability to find a job and take care of herself. She got herself into this dilemma, it's too bad she brought others into this world to pay for her careless behavior and choices. The doctor should help pay for her expenses as he is the one who made the unethical choice to place 8 embryos into her uterus. I also think that these kids should be taken away from her until (or possibly for good) she is able to sustain a family of fifteen because she seems to selfish to care for anyone but herself! I really wish the best for the babies because they do not deserve this life, they need parents who are responsible, unselfish and physically and mentally able to take care of these little ones.

Me and my husband have been trying for a year to get pregnant. We are responsible homeowners who make all of the right decisions. Why does this negligent, crazy, woman get 14 kids, and we are struggling to get one. It is a true shame and one of those unfortunate inequities in life.

I wholeheartedly agree with Mandy, as I am also trying to conceive my first child.

I would donate only if....ONLY IF..the state of California stepped in and removed her financial parental rights (if something like that is even possible). This way any money that is donated will go directly to the children and their basic needs, not Mommy's manicure and cup of Starbucks! I am a mother of twins. At the time we made a CONSCIENCE decision to have children it was thought to be just one. We were suprised to have twins. Our whole world changed. Even though we are both full time working parents and had the means to support one child we struggled. I did not want assistance and did everything I could to give them the necessary things they needed. Even my own full time fairly good paying job wasn't enough at times. I considered pizza delivery on the side for the little extra cash I would need to buy clothes. Nadya has done nothing 'extraoridinary' as a mother but give birth to 14 children. She tries to make herself look like a wonderful mother and person. I'm sorry I will always view her as being selfish and not thinking about the welfare of her children, every one of them beyond the 2nd!

I might give money to her parents who are about to lose their home because of her and her selfish behavior. Though I couldn't afford to give much more then $25. Or if the state would do the right thing and take those kids away from her, put her in a mental instatution, and put those kids in foster care I might give money to the foster parents. But this mental case herself would not get one dime from me.

Wow. I am saddened by this whole thing. She didn't intend to have 8 babies... she thought she would only get one more. The 8 babies are a miracle and I am proud of her for not killing any of them. I am very saddened by the media's influence on this whole story. I would donate to her if I could. I would also offer help if I could. I can't believe how heartless people are being about this. How very sad.

ABSOLUTELY NOT! I do not feel sorry in the least bit for this woman. Don't get me wrong I do believe her children do need help and it's not their fault their mother is selfish. What person in the right mind would want to bring children in this world with little or no income, no stability, and no sense. I believe that someone that goes out and spends money on plastic surgery should be able to take care of their own expenses. This woman now has the nerve to look at a home worth over a million dollars. What is that about? I just feel as if people use the media to get over on people and just MOOCH! People need to stop making excuses for others and see it as it is...I do not think anyone should be responsible for her decision, shouldn't we be tired of taking care of non-deserving people?

If I could, I would donate and help her. If people really think she's "mental" then why are they so mean to her?

ANYONE, and i mean ANYONE, who would donate to her, are just as Stupid as she is. Why, Why, would you try to have more children anyway? You DO NOT have a Job, a Husband, a Place to live. The children should be given to families who are trying and cant have children, and She should be "Fixed" Per say. I just cant imagine, 14 kids, and NOTHING to support them mentally, or Financially. It might have been different if she were married, has a JOB, and a place to LIVE.. but just another deadbeat trying to feed of our system.... just Sickens me.

Uh, h*LL NO! I would donate to her kids if there was some way she couldn't touch the money, because all she would do with it is buy more babies! As an infertility patient who is trying and trying and trying to have just one baby I am offended beyond belief by her actions. She is giving the rest of us infertiles a bad name and I do not want her put in the same category as the rest of us! She is NOT an infertility patient, she is a BABY COLLECTOR, she doesn't DESERVE those babies and my heart bleeds for them, but she can go to H*ll and stay there!

I have five children (not all at once though), and I've never received nor expected to receive help from anyone else. We may not be rich, and they may not always have a lot of the "extra" material possessions, but even as a single mother I'm able to support them and provide their basic needs and more. I believe in parents' right to have children, but feel it's irresponsible to have more children when you can't provide the basic necessities (food, shelter) for the ones you might already have. However, that's a moot point because the babies are here, and they deserve to have at least their basic needs for survival met. Exactly HOW that needs to happen I don't feel I have the right to say. But no, I won't be donating to her, I have to take care of my own kids.

Why does everyone insist on being so judgmental about Nadya and her situation? She had 6 children wanted one more and ended up with 8 more. Who cares if she doesn't have a husband? At least her decision was by choice, most women are single mothers because of dead beat dads. To her they are blessings. How could you ask that the children be put in foster care? Do you know what happens to children in foster care, how is that a solution. All the "parents" trying to conceive and unable to are passing judgment, it isn't her fault that you aren't able to have a baby so don't pass judgment on her because she has more than enough. I would give her money and even more yet I would help her with her children. That is the problem in the world there is no empathy. They are living human beings not puppies to be separated and given away at six week. Everyone loves to criticize anyone that doesn't fit into the so called "norm". If you feel she is doing this for money or attention, you are still giving it to her whether it is good attention or bad. The more fuss you make no matter what you say she will eventually get help from someone

Absolutely not! This woman was already taken thousands of our tax dollars in public assistance!

The media needs to quit feeding her ego with their constantly reporting about her!

NOT 1 SINGLE PENNY, I REALLY SUGGEST CHILD CERVICES REMOVE ALL THE CHILDREN FROM HER AND PUT HER BACK IN THE MENTAL HOSPITAL, IT'S CLEAR SHE NEEDS THEIR HELP.THIS WOMAN IS SICK,SICK,SICK. with all the women in this country who would love to have a baby, but due to medical reasons, can't, and cannot afford IVF or adoption, SINCE THE ADOPTIONS RULES HAVE GOTTEN SO STRICT, then along comes this nutcase and has 14. let the dr provide for them if child services can't find decent loving homes. I also will not buy a product if i find out they have contributed to her litter.

I think everyone who is say the she is crazy, and should have her kids removed, are crazy to me!! I feel for her I do like how she get 14 kids but that is on her and the Doctor who helped her. But you can not just say the kids are better off with out there mom. What if it was you?? Would like it if every one wonted to take your kids from you, just b/c your not rich?! my sister in law had 2 of her kids taken from her for life for no reason, but she was to young to care for them. She's a great mom and did nothing to have the Children taken forever!! So you CAN NOT say it is O.K to take a child from there mom just b/c she is not rich!!!! I think everyone is just to scared to part with there money that really care for the babies and there mom GOD gave them to!! You Can't blame God for blessing her and not you!!! Sorry I don't care if you hate me just think with your hearts not your money!!

There is no way i would give her a cent of my hard earned money. She did this to her self its not like she just got pregnant she knew what she was doing the whole time. Now dont get me wrong there isnt anything wrong with having a large family. As long as YOU can afford it! She needs grow up and take on the responsibilities that SHE has brought on her self.

WOW!!! How heartless can one be, these children and their mother need help and support. These posts disgust me! Who cares if you don't agree with her (or more likely, you don't understand the whole story), these people need support. I most certainly would donate. God instructed us to treat others as you would like to be treated. I truly hope none of you are ever in a situation in which you need help. WOW!!!

We're being "judgemental" because the woman is a mental case. She wasn't trying for ONE more baby, she was trying to breed like she's a dog or something. She doesn't care one bit about those poor innocents. Just what she can get for herself. Notice how she's also had surgery to look like Angelina Jolie. Who paid for that? And why was she trying for more kids when THREE of her first six are AUSTISTIC?! She can't even take care of them!

Not only that but people have offered to help but she won't contact them because she believes that the state and the tax payers should support her.

Sorry, but her behavior deserves to be judged. Those poor kids need to be taken away and she needs to be locked up.

Words cannot adequately express the depth of my disgust for this woman, Nadya Suleman. It just is beyond me how any rational human being could even BEGIN to consider doing what she did. She claims to love and adore and treasure children so much but I have never seen any act so selfish as to bring all those children into the world without even a thought as to how to provide for them. If that is love, then excuse the heck out of me. That isn't love where I come from, but reckless endangerment of human lives if you ask me!

Never in a million years would I give her any money. She should have thought about her financial situation before she knowingly and willingly put herself in this situation!

As a parent I feel horrible for those poor children that did not asked to born to such an irresponisble person.

Unfortunately, it is the rest of society that will ultimately be stuck paying for her irresponisbility....literally!!!!

This woman should not be parenting any children. She obviously has more than one mental health condition and can't care for these children in any way. They should all be taken away and put up for adoption. The 6 she already has can be raised by relatives or her parents. These children don't stand a chance if given to her.

I would not in a million years donate to her. She did this irresponsibly and with full intent to have multiples. She has brought upon society a huge burden. These children will have disabilities of some type since they are premies. Most do have them due to lack of oxygen etc. Out of her six others, three have disabilities. Society will be paying for them in the huge amount of money to educate them through special ed. Shame on her!

Would you repeat the question?
Did I hear you correctly? I wanted to be sure I wasn't going to hurt you for the wrong reason.

Heck no!!!! I would NOT donate one cent to her. She put herself in this situation, she can get herself out of it on her own. Just like how each person in this country is responsible for their own debts. Why should the taxpayers pay for her debts. That's just absolutely outrageous. The doctos should be just as responsible.

She doesn't need money/donations; she needs psychiatric help - and fast! This woman is nutso and her kiddos are the victims. I hope they're removed from her care so they will have a chance in life.

I understand what's it's like to be an expecting mother and realize only too late that you don't have the means to fully financially support 'a' child on your own. However, when you are a mother of six, with supposed fertility problems, and cannot support them to any extent, you do not ask a doctor to assist in having ANY more, let alone six to eight more! No, I would not give her any support. As I see it, she gives all moms a bad rep! Especially with the economy in it's current state she is taking from all the families who could actually use and need the help. She's taking from the families who don't choose to rely on state funded programs or donations but rather need a small helpping hand to keep their families healthy. And speaking of health, not a single one of those babies is really healthy! Sure, considering the number of them for the pregnancy, they are 'relatively' healthy at best. I would be willing to help a fellow mom out in one way, I'll adopt one or two of her children. I feel that is really the best thing she could do for those children. I think eight women who are currently dealing with fertility issues should adopt the infants. Octo-Mom as she's been termed doesn't deserve them.

I will never spend my money on science babies. Sorry, but my religion does not accept injecting babies into women.

If this miracle mother would not be named Suleman would you be so unchristian an racist as you are right now? You are willing to pay for car makers that fly private jets and not support a mother of 14?

I would not donate to this woman. But perhaps she will serve as the catalyst for change in a system in desperate need of oversight. This case clearly demonstrates the need for screening of and training for couples/individuals seeking reproductive assistance at least as thoroughly couples/individuals seeking to adopt. Having adopted 3 children myself I can tell you that required multiple visits from social workers, psychological evaluations, health evaluations, financial evaluations, FBI & local law enforcement background checks all at my own personal expense.

Perhaps the State of California can appoint these children a guardian ad liedum. Then a fund for donations could be set up for the children and managed by the guardian ad liedum for the explicit benefit of the children.

No I would not donate to her. She had the babies all 14 of them without any donation . She already had 6 children while jobless and living with her parents. If anybody could tell me why she decided to have 8 more children she obviously cant support on her own then maybe I would consider it, and I don't want to hear she loves children. That is BULL. She probably thought the freebies would come rolling in and drop at her feet and they probably would have had it not come out that she had in vitro fertilization. Perhaps the state she lives in should drop her crazy behind from welfare and make her work her parents should put her out and she should work to support all of her children on her own.

Her idiot fertility specialist can pay child support for all I care. I am an IVF mom and highly offended by their mutual lack of responsibility.

Oh heck no! Not 1 dime! NEVER, NEVER NEVER. Those children, all 14 of them, should be put up for adoption! She needs help. She is delusional...

I'm against doing anything extra for the Mom but as far as the kids she already had and those precious babies I think we need to give them a chance to survive. These babies have done nothing wrong..They are caught in the middle of something and it's not right..I say give the Mom a chance and keep a close watch on her...If she can't take care of them there's so many childless couples that would give them all the love they will need..I also..don't think letting the Grandmother around them would be a positive role model for them..either..I just want everybody to give them a chance and of course who are we to judge?May...God be with her in the days to follow..

"If you judge people, you have no time to love them." Mother Teresa

You're kidding, right? I would be more than happy to contribute to any legal fund to combat irresponsible human breeding programs, but to help support someone who reproduces irresponsibly as a stray dog? Forget it. Those poor kids need to be adopted out to families who can afford their upkeep.

I would not give her one cent - except our tax payer dollars will go to her without our consent. I think the authorities and child welfare should watch her closely - ther's no way she can take care of this many babies. The states should also control how many babies by an unwed mother they will help to support.

I love kids, had four plus foster kids, but no, I will not contribute. Did anyonle contribute to her in vitreo fertilization? Remember, she already had six kids (all in vitreo) when she chose this. Where did she get the funds?? And she shops, has her nails done, etc. When money is tight, shopping sprees and manicures are optional!!

The only thing I would donate regarding this incredibly selfish woman would be to the legal fund of whomever finally decides to take these children away from her! She is one crazy woman! No one in their right mind would EVER "decide" to have 8 babies whenever they already couldn't support the six she already had!!! I wish that this woman would realize that as a "parent" she needs to do what is best for her children! She is obsessed with having babies then whenever they start to grow up she doesn't want to take care of them! Also, why in the hell would ANY Doctor EVER let this woman do this!!!! Don't you have to pass some kind of psych test or something? I really think that the government should step in and see that these children have a stable, loving and supportive home to live in! This would certainly not be with her!!!

While I feel sorry for the children and babies this woman has given birth to, I don't support donating to her. Her choice, her issue. I would say that the doctor who chose to put all those eggs in her should bear the financial burden this woman is experiencing. He is just as irresponsible - if not more so - than she is. Let both of them take responsibility for clothing, feeding, educating and bringing up these children!

Although I agree it was irresponsible of her physician to do this, it seems evident that she truly does love her children. She obviously does not have the judgement to realize that she alone can't handle the job of raising all of them on her own, and she is putting an unfair burden on her parents. I do think I would donate to their care, but only if there were people overseeing the funds and the actual care. I don't believe the mother should have free run of the finances. I also think mom needs some mental health therapy and parenting skill counseling as well. If all of those things were in place, I would donate.

Haha....I'm surprised she even has the nerves to ask for a donation, how about you don't have kids you can't take care of? The only money I would ever donate is towards putting her children in a good home. They should not pay for her stupidity and negligence. I think this woman should be banned from anything to do with children, clearly she does not know anything. What a pathetic bitch!

you had them you wanted them now work to raise them like yousaid you were going to do. and dont ask for welfare or donations. you knew what you were doing at the beginning.
this was no surprise pregnancy. you planned for this to happen.

Not only does this mother have an over-used uterus, she has a HUGE set of balls to have the gall to ask the American people to pay for her ridiculous choices. At a time when many Americans are having to make choices between which bills to pay this month and which ones can wait, the chutzpah of this woman asking for donations is astounding.

I personally think this woman should have ALL the children taken from her. There is NO possible way, on her own, that she can care for them, and NO ONE ELSE SHOULD! The doctor who did this should have to pay monetary support! And think of all the loving homes that are looking for children, and CAN take care of them! Shame on this woman for proceeding with all this. There is no way God intender her to have this many children period, let alone all at once.

I think the people saying those who don't want to donate are heartless are absolutely wrong. Her name has nothing to do with it in America, her "desire" to have just one more has nothing to do with it. This woman has already abused the system. She has taken money that was given for her autisic children and used it to get fertility treatments, plastic surgery, and who knows what else for herself. If anyone saw the interview with one of her older children who was asked what's it like at home, the girl said "mom is frustrated a lot" and that was before the 8 extra children were born. What ever her reason for having more children, she's put all of them in danger, she can't care for them financially, physically, emotionally, or phychologically. I would only donate to the children finding stable homes to be adopted into.

Anyone who gives a dime to this sick woman is just enabling her - and she will continue to have babies, believe me. Her parents enabled her so far, letting her live rent-free while the grandparents took care of the kids, so if you give her money, you will be adding to this disgusting problem. By the way, we are ALL paying for all 14 kids - into the millions already!!!!!! So don't think you aren't already supporting this horrible situation. Nadya considers welfare, food stamps and disability payments as "resources" that she is ENTITLED to. She should be sterilized and her children should be taken away. She has had children for all the wrong reasons and none of the right reasons.

What - the money she's getting from welfare isn't enough? She makes me sick! I can't believe social services hasn't stepped in and taken these kids away! Did you see the way they are living! in filth!

She is mental- looney and needs to be locked away in a padded room and those children need to be taken away.

Not only would I not help this moron, I think the doctor should lose his license for what he did. What a group of irresponsible individuals! I have enough on my plate to pay my own bills (working two jobs to do it) and will not help this crazy, freeloading bimbo. Her kids should all be taken away from her!

I am a single woman. I thought about having ONE child on my own. I think that any single parent has a hard time financially and emotionally - they are stretched in so many ways. I think it is deplorable and abusive for this women who clearly is so narcissistic that she can't see outside her own needs. 14 children and some of them have special needs? She essentially is engaging in emotional blackmail with her family and the north american public. To expect society to pay for these children that she chose to have. It is wrong. She certainly wasn't and isn't thinking of these children's welfare. How can she afford to go to school, fertility treatments, a house oh and plastic surgery I heard as well. We should all live so good. I work for a living and live an average lifestyle. No she is diconnected somewhere. I will say a prayer for the kids though that are the innocent victims of this.

My first instinct is to say "hell no I will not give a penny to this woman" and most likely I won't. She is irresponsible, self serving,obviously has some form of OCD,and doesn't have a clue what raising a child with handicaps will be like. at least some of these children will have some kind of learning problem or physical handicap because of their low birth weight and problems with breathing etc when they were first born.

My second instinct is to say yes I will donate what ever I can. Not because she deserves any of it, but because there are 8 innocent children involved here along with her other innocent children. They didn't have any say in who their mother was going to be. they are the ones who will go with out. they are the ones who will suffer from some form of neglect. They are the ones who will suffer the most because of their mothers mental illness. They are the ones I worry about.They are the ones that all the hearts of the nation should go out to.

First of all, I am NOT willing to pay for car makers, or CEO's that fly jets. That's our INSANE government who TAKES the money FROM ME and GIVES it to them. I have no choice in the matter. It points out how CRAZY our government has become, as they have propagated this entitlement mentality here in this country. They reward the LAZY, CRAZY AND CORRUPT.I think there needs to be a fraud investigation as to how she can be on the take and still afford all the facial work, manicured nails, etc. The fact that she owes $50,000 in student loans may explain where some of that money came from. As has been the sentiment of nearly everyone here. NO, I would not donate one penny that would enable this woman to "hang on to" and use these children to benefit herself. Child endangerment and child neglect charges should be brought against her. How could ANYONE believe that a woman who is out of her mind would be able to take care of these children.Do you really believe MONEY is going to get them any kind of loving, sane home life they deserve?
I'll donate to any organization that's trying to find these children a decent home. That goes for the 6 she already had and failed to provide for properly. Let me know when there's a drive to collect money for that!!!

Never in a million years would I contribute a dime to that irresponsible women. By donating money you condone what she did, those children should be adopted out to parents who have a head on there shoulders and not be raised by a selfish pig like her.

While I would never give to the mother, I do not think those innocent children should suffer. Donations should be made, but Nadya should not have access to the funds. A unbiased administrator should oversee the distribution of the funds so they are spent on the children and not for her foolishness. Secondly, the clinic/doctor that allowed this to happen should have his license revoked. He should have refused to perform the procedure.

The ultimate gold-digger/welfare cheat/bottom feeding woman I have ever heard of. Take the kids away and give them to parents who can raise and educate them. Get her to a mental facility and let Grandma enjoy her retirement. Once her "meal tickets" have been remonved, remove her reproductive organs and put her back on the streets where she belongs. Sick, sick, sick.

Not only would I NOT give one red cent but the doctor who went along with this travesty should be prosecuted. Who in their right mind would impregnate a woman, single, living with her mother with six other kids at home. I'd like to know how she paid for the IVF. Now her mother stands to lose the small house they live in so what then? The State should take those children away from her and perform a full hysterectomy on her. She is a breeding cage and a threat to mankind. I feel sorry for all the little ones she brought into this world but for her, I hope she gets her comeuppence.

I feel for the babies. I had twins and it was a struggle had it not been for my in-laws, I would have caught hell. I can't imagine 14??? I wouldn't give that alley-cat a dime.

THIS WOMAN IS A VERY SICK PERSON MENTALLY SHE NEEDS ALOT OF HELP THE BABIES ALL SHOULD BE PUT UP FOR ADOPTION FOR THIER OWN SAKE

I think this was a plan by the mother and her doctor to defraud people out of money........considering that the publicity over 8 babies would generally guarantee TV deals and magazine photo ops and contracts. I think it was planned by both of them to split or at least share the money that would be rolling in to "help" mom and the babies. Ain't gonna happen........sorry......and I would not contribute a dime, she made a concious choice now she can live with it.

THIS WOMAN IS A VERY SICK PERSON MENTALLY SHE NEEDS ALOT OF HELP THE BABIES ALL SHOULD BE PUT UP FOR ADOPTION FOR THIER OWN SAKE

I will not give her a dime and I advise everyone who is thinking about donating to her to think again. Her children should be taken care of by someone responsible and she should be investigated. I believe its for fame. She needs to find something else to do with her time.

The only reason this woman keeps reproducing is that she wants attention, which with fourteen children she will get. Now that her other information has been made known, she will not be getting the attention she wants, to that I am sure.
I don't think she will get through the rest of her education, let alone find a job to pay enough for daycare and all the rest of the things her children need, like food, clothing and shelter.
WHAT A MESS!!
The real idiot that needs to be billed is the infertility doctor that has helped her attain this brood!

BOTTOM LINE IS SHE SHOULD HAVE THOUGHT ABOUT HOW SHE WAS GOING TO PROVIDE FOR ALL HER KIDS BEFORE SHE HAD ANY OF THEM. SHE OBVIOUSLY WAS/IS COUNTING ON THE GOVT. TO PROVIDE AND UNFORTUNATELY IT WILL. CALIFORNIA IS BROKE ENOUGH, NOW THEY WILL PONY UP MILLIONS MORE FOR JUST 1 FAMILY. LOOK HOW MANY FAMILIES COULD HAVE BENEFITED FROM ALL THE MILLIONS THAT THE CALIFORNIA GOVT WILL SHELL OUT ON THESE KIDS FROM 1 FAMILY. SHE IS SELFISH. I DONT DOUBT FOR 1 MINUTE SHE EXPECTED TO BE SHOWERED WITH FREEBIES AND MONEY AND IT HAS BACKFIRED ON HER BIG TIME! SHE IS A FARSE, SHE ONLY WANTS ATTENTION AND FREEBIES, I HOPE NO ONE OBLIGES HER SELFISHNESS.

No I would not offer one cent to assist her. There are so many responsible families who are working hard and struggling to provide the basics for their families. They are the ones we should be helping. Not this nut case. The sooner CPS steps in and takes the kids (all of them) the better off those children will be.

I will not, would not in my grandchildren's lifetime contribute money or goods. This woman needs to look at the imbecile of a doctor that put the embryos in her. He should take responsibility for his actions. And whose sperm is it anyway? Why can't they go after him? I can't believe she is living off of taxpayers. And it is terrible that those children will not get the proper upbringing. Children raising children is what is going to happen.

While I sympathize with the struggles she will face....she made a choice to have this many children. The consequences of that decision are how her burden. The cost of having a baby, let alone 8 at one time, should have been a consideration BEFORE she conceived. I'm all for people having choices in this world, but we also have to live with them.

I think the state should step in and take those children. Apparently her Doctor skipped the classes on mental stability, just talking to her would have conviced me that she isn't quite connected by gravity. I think that she IS using this avenue to create her own 'stardom' in her own twisted fantasy and the news media is helping her along by saying she looks like Angelia, another woman with womb issues! Please step in an get those children out of there!

I think the children should go to familes that can't have children of their of own and will love the children and take care of them. But the children should be allowed to stay in contact with one another and grow up knowing one other. It isn't fair to the children that their Mom doesn't have all her marbles but they should know their grandparents and their other brothers and sisters.The doctor should be accountable also for helping her do this.Wonder what his motives were other then the money for helping her have this many kids when he and she knew that she could't take care of all them?

I am helping her, I pay my taxes!!! She says that she will give her children her unconditional love and that she will be there for them, and not all parents do. Well, good for her and her children, I feel guilty every day for leaving my child in daycare (that I pay for) but I have to go to work in order to support him and myself. I made a conscious decision to not have children until I could support him/her. The university may pay for childcare, but we, the taxpayers, are footing the bill for her disabled children's aid, and whatever other government aid she has and will receive, whatever she chooses to call it. I, as a Kaiser member, will probably pay some of her hospital bills too. When she doesn't pay the bill, Kaiser will spread it among those of us who pay our monthly memberships. This is different than those other moms who went w/ IVF to fulfill a dream and by the Grace of God, had multiple children. She kept doing this, w/o regard for her other children, her mother and every other person impacted by her actions.

NO, I would not donate to her. If she had enough money for plastic surgery and lip enhancers, she should have used the money to go to a therapist before she went ahead and had more kids. The doctor who helped her conceive all these poor children should be saddled with the cost of supporting her kids.

I am afraid that we are ALL going to be paying for the rearing of these children. I wish they were able to grow up in a stable home with a normal childhood. Nadya obviously has some deep problems that the children will live with on a daily basis. It will have to have an effect on them as they grow.

I will not donate to her. She should have thought about this before she had 8 more kids. It seems to me that she is nothing but a iresponsible greedy, publicity seeking moron. There are enough people on welfare and she had to go and add to it. I'm sure are 8 coulples out there who would like to adopt a baby. That would be the best thing for those children than to be raised a thoughtless, iresponsible moron like her. No wonder California is broke with people like her.

There is no way I would contribute a dime to this woman. Obviously she had these children thinking she would get all of the things she would need as had other familys who had multiples like she did. There is something very wrong with her and I think that someone should investigate he state of mind and protect the children.

Remove everything!!!! No way would I contribute!!!!

I am so tired of the reaction to this woman and her babies. Good God, it's like some kind of hate filled mass hysteria.
It seriously is not healthy. I think somehow all the problems and fear with the economy has somehow been transposed onto this woman and her children. I can't righteously believe everyone is this damn evil. Seriously.
I would, and will donate to her at some point. Because I think they are here, she loves them, and I would help my fellow man like I do when I watch Jon & Kate plus 8. Or the guy on the corner with the sign. Helping someone comes from inside, and you DO NOT judge them first. Either you feel the need to step up or you don't. End of story. Don't bad mouth people just because you are not walking in their shoes. Give it a break. There are worse things in the world you could do with an extra dollar than feed a baby, no matter how they got here, or how much help you think they are getting. Geez.

I am single, and I would like to have a child while I still can. However, I know that I would not be able to properly provide for a child right now, so I am putting that off until I am married or know I can support a child alone, even though I know that means it might not ever happen. I couldn't imagine having children and then expecting other people to help.

However, I feel sorry for these children, and the problems this backlash against their mother is going to cause them. I hope it is not held against the children for the rest of their lives.

(And no, I would not donate money, I can't afford to. Much like she can't afford to have 14 children...)

YOu have got to be kidding me. Has this woman heard of personal resonsibility? I feel very sorry for these children. She has chosen to bring them into this world knowing full well that she could not support them financially and emotionally. She expects the rest of the world to do that for her. Sorry ...this situation needs to be investigated to make sure these children are raised in a stable environment.

Donate to have her tubes tied? You bet. Beyond that, she and her family (parents included) and that doctor who injected her with a full litter can take care of her.

She needs a very, very good psychiatrist. I also do NOT understand why she is on TV 24/7, except that Americans have some twisted voyeuristic nature and want to watch her. I have been voting with my remote. Any show featuring her is immediately switched away.

This country is in real trouble - - if the media spent as much time talking about how KBR, who is under investigation for the deaths of 13 US troops in Iraq because of their poor construction practices, and who just got ANOTHER $35 million in Iraq contracts from our Pentagon just 2 weeks ago, as they do talking about this pathetic woman, we'd all be better off. The current state of our media is shameful. VOTE WITH YOUR REMOTE !

She must think I am as deranged as she is -- two of her other children have physical problems -- why should I help someone as twisted as she appears to be -- I hope CPS takes the ncessary steps to insure that the kids are taken care of and Octomom is denied rights to any funds raised which many somehow accumulate to the kids. She has said she will be using student loans to help feed the kids -- she likely to default on the loans just what honest students in genuine need of assistance need to be aware of and the banks also for that matter.

I am sorry at this time I wouldn't donate. I am operating a child care center in a low-income area and I can't even afford my property tax this year. I owe close to 30,000 and am trying to keep my business open. I do not feel sorry for Nadia. She knew what she was doing. I feel sorry for the children. That is not fair to them. I am from the middle-east myself and that has nothing to do with it. I am just tired of people taking advantage of the system. I see it all the time. I also blame the doctor!!! The doctor knew better and should be held accountable. It was unethical for him to perform the procedure again. I just want to say people need to stop sending death threats. Come on people we have enough issues without threatening people. Remember 911, the soldiers giving of their lives, and other things going on. We need to be united in a lot of things. Threatening people is not the way. However, I am sorry I can't feel bad for Nadia. I am human but I need to worry about my family and my business.

No Way in HELL!!!! Her children should all be put up for adoption, so that they can have loving homes with parents that want CHILDREN, not government paychecks for each one. In my state, if a mother is on disability, her children each get a check every month. If that's the case in her state, she would get 15 government checks a month!! I am outraged at her selfish and irresponsible actions. The doctor who did this should be indicted and jailed. Talk about unethical! She already has 6 kids, one is autistic, and another has learning disabilities. Why on earth would she really want more. She is an idiot, plain and simple, and we the taxpayers will be footing the bill for this moron until the last child is 18 years old! Someone needs to step up and do something about this before it happens again. No one should be rewarded for irresponsibility! My husband worked overtime, and I worked 2 jobs while trying to raise only 3 children. We did it, and now have 5 beautiful grandchildren, and the state does not support them! If they need help, they get it from us. We could not help them if they all had 14 children though! Someone please take that doctors' license and sterilize that mentally challenged woman!!

NO WAY IN HELL! I'm sorry, but it time for people to take responsibility for THEIR actions! I worked as a single Mother and raised 4 children, who turned out to be good responsible adults. I only had 4, because their father and I decided we could NOT afford more then 4...and then ended up getting divorced!

It was her choice to have another child, she is getting a gov ernment support for her disabled children. Therefore she shouldnt have had another child. I dont feel it is our responsibility or the government to support her. She has had so much publicity, it is getting sickening. There are people with kids that are very very ill, who would never get this kind of support. I feel that she should give up the children for adoption to families that cannot have children as a gift from God and stop manipulating an monopolizing the media with this issue. I havent been able to get a job for over two years, should I go on the air and try to get a job that way?? She . never should have had the kids and the doctor should be investigated and punished if necessary

In our country, it is so hard to believe that families that long for babies to adopt and love (and provide for for their entire lives) can NOT even find and get to adopt such babies! They are forced to go to China to get babies to adopt!!! This is such an outrage that these innocent children need and deserve loving homes that can provide for them. Our government should take them and place them in homes where they WOULD be properly taken care of financially. Any donated money should go for psychiatric help for this woman along with sterilization since she obviously hasn't the sense to get it done on her own! She needs our constant prayers that is for sure!

The only way I would contribute to these children is if there was a trust fund that was set up in such as way the gave this woman absolutely no access.

Now some guy has chimed in to say that he might be the father. What do you want to bet that he wants some of the money she is trying to get for 'her children'?

Tough kazots!!! I need donations too. She should of thought about that 12 kids ago!!! Why should we pay for someone's irresponsibility?? This is just ludicrous to ask for help. Maybe her physician should help her with this too. His license should be revoked.

Why in the world would I give money or other support to an irresponsible woman who made a conscious decision to keep having children she can't afford ???? Someone should come in and take all of those children from her, and take her to have her tubes tied !

I would never help this woman for sure. Her doctor should do that. This woman is crazy and should be in a mental hospital. Also, these 14 kids should go to their adopted parents for better life, they not only would get a proper home, education, food, emotional support etc. etc. But this woman wouldn't get a single dime from me. I don't feel sorry for her at all but feel sorry for those unfortunate children for having a stupid, unfit mother who is not only selfish, mentally not capable of thinking straight. What the hell she was thinking? Government should revoke that stupid doctor's license to practice again. Dr. Phill is making a big show and the media is putting up a big show for that stupid lady but she shouldn't/mustn't get any financial help from anybody..take the kids away and put up for adoption..God bless those kids..

I am shocked by the harsh comments made about this mother. God made the decision to allow all of these children to be born for a reason. Maybe one may even develop a cure for some disease like cancer or perhaps solve the problems of world hunger. You don't know the reason this happened and people are being way too hard on this woman.

You know what? these babies are born now and they need help! And no it would not be a good idea to take them away from her. Do you even think about the mother/baby bond at all.

People have been way to critical of this lady and her choices. Granted she may have made a decision that we as a society would not make but come on whats done is done.
And government and people should not have control over a woman's right to reproduce. What are we gonna strip rights away from everyone? Are we going to allow the government to control every aspect of our lives? I sure as hell don't want that! Instead of coming down on this woman maybe you should fight for better laws against sexual perpetrators and other criminals. God would not have allowed these children to be born if he did not will it to be. I wish her all the luck in the world and much success.

OctoMom needs to have her tubes tied. THE DOCTOR SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE FINANCIAL CARE OF THESE CHILDREN. He is to blame. He knew she had SIX other children, since he was responsible for them too. SO HE PAYS UP OR HAS HIS LICENSE PULLED!!!

The woman is a psycho. All she wants is a hand out and whoever donates even one cent to her deserves to be locked up in the mental asylum she supposedly was injured at.

Its a double edged sword - because these children did not ask to be brought into this world and will need lots and lots of care, never mind ordinary and everyday needs. I agree with the woman who said first of all - the mom should be sterilized. Unfortunately , in this day and age you just can't go and have as many children as you would like. Being able to care for them properly and support them is an issue as well. If she had 6 children already and some of them needed extra care, she had no business having another 8. How can she possibly work to support them all? Who will then care for the children???

Are you kidding? She's going to fine with money from a book deal, a movie deal, paid interviews. She's not as stupid as everyone thinks. Maybe crazy, but not stupid. She'll be fine financially.

Not a dime !!! All those kids need to be taken away from her and the hospital bills should be turned over to the stupid doctor that did all this !!

she can't even support the six she has, how could she be so irresponsible (and WHAT was her doctor thinking?) to have 8 more?
take the kids and give them to people who CAN support them.

HELL NO!! I would not donate. Would someone like to donate to me for being resposible and having one child and being in a commited relationship (marriage) for 11 years before having a child and making sure I could provide for my child. My 401K and my child's college fund has tanked, so maybe someone should donate to me before they give money to this insane women who cannot support herself let alone 14 kids and has no father for them.(I of course do not expect any one to donate to me-nor to get any help form the government-I am too resposible and live within my means and do not incur debt so there is no bail out for me).

If I thought for one minute that she would use the money for the good of the children-maybe. But from what I have seen and heard she needs mental help and giving her money would not necessarily mean it will go to the babies. She can not be trusted and I would never dish over money to a woman who thinks more of her needs than anyone else's

I agree with Dee,let the Doctor bring all of the children up .Yup all 14 of them.As a doctor the first rule is do no harm !What did He think He was doing?Would you go to a plastic surgeon who acted in this way?The Grand parents and the Father Donor need serious help ,mental counciling and financial support, but her Child abuse charges and reekless endangerment should be in her future.Where are the books and movie deals ?That's what she's done this for? Children are blessings ,pearls not to be cast at the feet of swine.God will Bless these Children He knows what is up for them all.

I wouldn't give a match to an arsonist so I certainly wouldn't fund this woman's insanity.

First off I am pro life, so kudos to her for not destroying her embryos. Now If she really does have a brain or a heart, she needs to do the right thing for the new eight as well as the other six children at home and adopt them out to loving homes to people who can support them. How about a father for the first 6?! like maybe the person responsible for the sperm donation should have some legal obligation there as well!
Moreover I think this decision should be taken away from her.
Isn't this also a form of child abuse? exploitation, extortion and emotional blackmail! She is obviously mentally and emotionally challenged herself and not fit to raise her children anyway. Can you say SCREW the system, "Its all about ME! "
And God forgive me for being judgmental!

I would not donate to someone who is already sucking dry with her first six children...they should all be taken from her and adopted by people who will truly love them..this woman obviously has mental health issues that need to be addressed, and the doctor who helped her should lose his license. This woman does NOT, however, need to be the poster child for draining our system..there are millions of children of illegals already on the public dole in this country. this woman did not cause the problem, but she is perpetuating it.

Let those kids father take care of them! I am not going to REWARD A FOOL FOR BEING A FOOL!!!

Umm, I think NOT.

I would NOT donate to her as she has to accept responsibility for her actions. If she KNEW she could not support the children when they were conceived, then she should not have tried to have the children. The rest of us have to live within our means she should as well. She already has six children that the tax payers are supporting. I don't see why we should support the other eight. I do feel for the children. However, it's time that people take responsibilities for their actions and decisions.

Regardless of all of the moral, financial and practical reasons for not getting in this situation , you have to be clear of mind to make such decision, clearly this women is not! According to what has been reported this women has had a total change in personality in the last 6 years. She has also transformed physically to a likeness of Angelina Jolie cannot be denied. It seems she has had a break from reality. The Doctor who did these procedures should lose his license , he had an obligation as a health Care professional to consider all of his patients health including her mental status. So now what, we have a women who is mother good ,bad or indifferent to these children and they are all in trouble, her getting mental help would be a nice place to start , the financial help the children will need is real ! For all of those haters consider what her life will be like caring for all of those kids 24 -7 this will not be a vacation, life will be very difficult and finding a partner seems unlikely . So like we help our addicts in this country we should not forsake all of those beautiful children, to spite there mother!

It's a sad situation to be in, but I cannot judge someone who I have never met, spoken too or really know much about other than what the media portrays, which in my personal experience the media has a tendency to "make/break" situations and people, not to say that there she was totally out of line doing what she did, I truly feel for those children and know that she is going to need money and lots of it to support and handle all of those little ones, so yes, I would help if I knew that my money was going to diapers, food, etc. I just wish that the doctor who did this twice to her would have stopped and realized what the heck he was doing, but at the end of the day, the bottom line for him was obviously the $$$ and not the mental welfare of the mother and the welfare of the 6 children she already had.. shame on him..

i also feel that the doctor who impregnated all those embroyos in her to pay for these kids. this woman should never have been allowed to have been impregnated after having 6 children already

No, not a penny.

The only thing this woman has accomplished is to shine a big glaring spotlight on the whole issue of "Right to Life", and the in(s)anity embedded therein... Latest bit of news I saw about this was discussing her conversation with her mother regarding "I had to use the embryos or they were going to be destroyed". So of COURSE the obviously "moral" thing to do is to go ahead and implant ALL of them.

And the bit of news before THAT was talking about her medical practitioner(s) being investigated and possibly prosecuted for a whole range of charges up to and including irresponsible stupidity and contributing to the delinquincy of at LEAST eight minors.

So, no, no voluntary contributions going to her OR to her doctors' legal defense funds. Sometimes the consequences of your actions ARE deservedly harsh and cruel. With any luck, she'll realize just how deep a hole she has dug for herself and offer up between six and ten of those children for adoption -- for FREE; no profit better be made on THOSE transactions, or we're going to be encouraging a new mode of behavior we WILL NOT like, down the road...

And by the way -- for anyone who thinks the public response to this woman has ANYthing to do with her name -- get a clue, and a doctor to help take that CAMEL out of your eye...

Her personal life is none of our business, however, since it has become public fodder anything goes. She was irresponsible and her Dr. was irresponsible. I feel sorry for the children, God bless them, but the taxpayers should not shoulder her burden. In her and her parents best interest all the children should be fostered or adopted out to families who can give them all the love they so rightly deserve. I will not donate for stupidity but I would contribute towards sterilization.

SHE'S AS CRAZYS AS THEY COME!!! SHE SHOULD BE COMITTED AND HER CHILDREN TAKEN AWAY. SHE SHOULD HAVE GOTTEN RID OF THE EMBRYOS AND NOT HAD ANY MORE CHILDREN. HOW CAN SHE POSSIBLY TAKE CARE OF ALL THOSE CHILDREN, AND DID SHE FORGET ABOUT THE ONES SHE ALREADY HAS??!!?? SHE HAS AN AUTISTIC CHILD, AND 2 OTHER SPECIAL NEEDS CHILDREN. WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO THE CHILDREN SHE ALREADY HAS??!! HOW CAN SHE CARE FOR AN AUTISTIC HCILD AND ALL THE OTHER CHILDREN AND THEN MAKE A STUPID DECISION TO BRING 8 MORE INTO THE WORLD. THE FERTILITY SPECIALIST SHOULD BE STRIPPED OF HIS LICENSCE AND NEVER BE ALLOWED TO PRACTICE AGAIN. YOU CAN'T POSSIBLY SAY THAT SHE WENT THROUGH THE STRICT GUIDE LINES THAT FERTILITY SPECIALISTS ARE SUPPOSED TO USE TO SCREEN PROSPECTIVE PARENTS. SHE HAS NO INCOME AND NO HUSBAND, AND BY THE SOUNDS OF THINGS SHE IS ABOUT TO LOOSE HER HOME. THE DEPARTMENT OF CHILDREN AND FAMILIES SHOULD STEP IN AND TAKE THEM ALL AWAY AND GIVE THEM TO RESPONSIBLE, LOVING FAMILIES THAT CAN CRE FOR THEM. SHE IS JUST CRAZY!!!

looks like we will for many years to come . Should be doctor dept as he knew when he planted thoses cells so let him pay for their up keep . why stick the tax payer with another research bill.

I had no help from anybody raising my kids. This woman intentionally got pregnant with this many children, knowing she had no job, no means of income besides the government and no place to house 13 or 14 children. She does not call SSI and food stamps welfare! What are they the? Even her parents think she is a freak. I feel sorry for the children because this woman has created a backlash of hatred towards herself. She should do the right thing and adopt out the babies, so that they can have a normal upbringing. Anyone donating to her should have their head examined.

"NO" she wanted fame going this route!! She is a pathetic woman and hurting the kids by what she is doing...
I have no sympathy for her only the kids who are her victims!
and her poor Mom!!! who needs to learn to say "Be on your own" I can't help you!!!

my answer to the lady..
If God wanted then she should have reproduced natural way by her husband or boy friend, not by a doctor in a lab. So don't bring GOD into this lady. it was her choice..since she has 6 kids at home and she can not even feed them/using her parents hard earn savings, how in a hell she decided to have more kids? Where is the God here?..it's pretty easy to bring God in every where but God gave us a brain to think and arms and legs to do the job we need to do to help ourselves. I believe in God..but in her case she is nothing but crazy and greedy. Mentally not stable to maintain herself and now 14 kids..Have you seen her parents interview?? God is not going to drop millions and millions of dollars to her, it's us, the tax payers and some media group will take care of her family.
I lost my husband at a very young age and my child was only 4, I worked hard for last 30 some odd years, raised my child, gave her education...GOD helped me for sure to think straight, eventhough I wanted to have more children but I never thought of doing that. I stayed single and doing my good Karma, never took a single dime from anybody because my GOD helped me to do the right thing. I'm happy so does my child. So wake up and see the truth lady..and don't even think of rights...she has no rights to bring those innocent children in to this world to suffer and we suffer with them.. and we have every rights to condemn her but not those innocent kids that's why they should put for adoption.

I think she has some serious psychological problems. No one in their right mind would have wanted to bring innocent babies into this world, when you already have other kids, no job, and no way to support them.
I feel very bad for those little babies. They didn't ask for this - and that is what isn't fair.
No one should donate to her, but someone should step in and give those babies a better home where they can be taken care of. I am sure someone has the means, and would greatly want those 8 babies!

Anyone who contributes to this woman is just as pathectic as her.We are already paying for her food stamps and welfare and now she wants more!!!Unfortunately the children suffer but you give into her and there will be another behind her.

The irresponsible doctor who played implanted all those embryos in an already overburden mother of 6 should be held financially responsible. That, and his license should be revoked!

Those children should be taken away by Child Protective Services. The State of California, that is about to declare bankruptcy should not foot the bill for these children. And as a Mother of an Autistic child, the fact that two of her children have Autism burns me that they will get shuffled without the proper help and attention from their mother.

Let the fertility doctor pay the expenses of raising 14 children. He is totally irresponsible and so is everyone else that contributed in any way to helping this obviously unstable woman conceive these children.

Not on your life! How can this woman sleep at night knowing that she cannot provide for these children? Procreating doesn't mean popping out baby after baby especially when you don't have the financial means to provide for them. If she was relying on taxpayers to support 3 of her 6 original children then what made her think that bringing even one more child into that situation was acceptable? Not only that but she's in California which is a state that can ill afford yet another human who wants a handout!

i hope that this women with her load of kids goes to the church and asks them to give her money. after all, they don't believe in abortion or protected sex, so let them pay.
the doctor who allowed all these babies to be born, should be prosecuted and sent to jail. maybe he should support these babies.
this is a travesty and i wouldn't give her a diaper.
sandi bernstein

The only thing I would donate is the monies to call Child Protective Services. Why she constitutes news is well beyond me. Someone return her to the hole she crawled out of. Let's find a real topic/s that matter. Thank you.

Another burden for the already overburdened state of California. How selfish and self-centered can individuals
be? The children will suffer the most. But, my money stays
at home or helping my family.

OMG! I would not send this lady a single cent! Like everyone else here on forum she knew exactly what she was getting into. She has a sickness. She craves pregnancy, the attention that all that brings, multiple births, and the attention that will be given to multiples. She's obviously hoping that someone will make a reality show, book, freebies, anything to help support her obsessive compulsive behavior.

However, with all things said and done. What should happen to these kids? Do any one of us truly wish to see them harm? I personally will not donate and do not recommend anyone else do the same. If somebody wants to give her some used stuff for the kids sake that's okay I guess. But taxpayers should not be supporting her. So if a book deal or a movie deal will pay the large bills coming her way for all these children let it happen. Otherwise the burden will be on us.

I have to agree with most people here who would not provide any assistance to the mother. As many suggested, the doctors who assisted her have the 8 children should pay.

However, we must consider that the lives of innocent children are at risk here as it is not the mother we are supporting, but the children. If any funds are provided to this woman, it should be in the form of a trust that can only be accessed to purchase necessities for the children - such as diapers and so on.

My personal suggestion is that ALL of these woman's children be removed from her custody as she is not fit to be a caregiver to any of these children. Someone suggested she should put them up for adoption, and that is a great one. However, I do not think she should have the choice. She has shown grave neglect and put her needs before that of her children. She is not fit, nor does she deserve to be a MOTHER! Some form of children's aid needs to step in and remove these children from an abusive situation.

Heck, why not contact Brand and Angie and see if they'll adopt the lot!

Sometimes I think we ignore that children are a responsibility as well as a joy. It is not one's "right" to have children then expect other people to sacrifice on their behalf either though taxes or by sympathetic appeals. There are many people who need help through hardship. Nadya had her babies by choice (whether 1 more or 8 more) then weeks later set out to ask people to pay for them along with her other 6. This is obscene. If she does not have the means to take care of them, and is considering their best interests she should offer them for adoption to women and families who can. Those of you who say you would donate surely have that option, but personally I choose to give to causes or people who have not so blatantly chosen their adversity. As to all the "judging" and accusations of judging, I think people simply feel offended in so many different ways by this woman's actions and the easiest thing is to attack. Perhaps we can't judge her, but her actions are clearly irresponsible to herself, these new beings, and to society. By this imposition, she has made it our business and people need to voice their concerns.

Isn't her 15 minutes of fame over yet???????

Seriously????

You know what....she is a little unstable, I am sorry. There is no way one person will be able to fufill the needs of 14 people. As it is her and her mother are fighting over this situation, her dad is on Oprah saying he thinks she is a little "off", the Department of Children and Families or whatever California has needs to step in and take those 8 babies that have just been born. That may sound cruel, but 'cmon, these children are going to be negelected in one form or another. She already has 2 children with forms of special needs that she does get govement money for, and we will not know for sometime if any of the new 8 have any disabilities.

I have a handicapped brother that turned 40 last week. 37 years ago when he became mental handicapped from a virus, my parents knew right then and there that their dream of having 4 kids died that day. Even back then when money was flowing a lot more than it is today, they had the brains and wisdom to not keep having children-they would have a long road ahead of them with a handicapped child. How this woman thought that keeping all 7 fetuses, and now we know there was an 8th, was going to work, is beyond me.

Her parents are $23k in arears in their mortgage and the home that Nadia lives in with her brood is going up for auction, I think the Today show said, as early as May. Where are these people going to live? I love him to death, but if Ty Pennington swings a hammer for this unbalanced mother, I will never watch his show or buy his products again.

Why would ANYONE contribute to this woman? She did this to herself, it's not like when we donated to the 9/11 fund or Katrina fund, those people had no idea their lives would change so drastically. Helping Nadia...help her with what? More plastic surgery?? All of these major baby corporations, if they want to "help" this family, they should set up financial trusts for these children that the mother can not access until they are accepted to college or turn 25.

I only have two kids, I work 30hrs and my husband works 40hrs so that we can provide a home and food for our kids. My boys get to do town recreation sports, take great family vacations and go to camp and do fun things because WE WORK FOR IT!!! I knew that 2 kids were more than enough for us, she should have stopped a LONG TIME AGO!!! She should have donated those embryo's to loving couples that couldn't conceive and give them the chance to have a family.

SELFISH SELFISH WOMAN!!!

No I would not contribute to this at all. She is the one who chose to have the kids and she needs to contribute. We all have counted the cost to have children and obviously she didn't. She was irresponsible in her actions. It would have been cheaper by far to continue to pay for storage for the embryos than to have them implanted. They didn't have to be destroyed at all or implanted. And she didn't have to have that many eggs fertilized either. There were many, many options and she failed in all of them. If you want the kids, then you pay for the kids.

yes i would help her those children did nothing to deserve the way people are being about them. its her fault and needs help either way to make sure those kids have something. what is the difference in helping her if it were you, you would want and need help. most people would not do what she did but like i said those kids are here and it takes alot to raise one let alone 14.so if you dont want to help her help the kids they are innocent in all of this

Where is her baby daddies at?? She should have kept her legs closed and her mouth open...sorri...i have to keep it pg...but seriously she should have had all those children if she knew she couldn't provide for them.

I would NOT donate to her. Whats done is done and no I wouldn't have killed the babies either but michelle c is right she didn't have to have that many eggs ferilized in the beginning. she could have just done a couple then after she had her first child or two then if she wanted more and could afford it she could have done the harvesting and sperm donor thing again. then she wouldn't have had to worry about the extra embryos. poor planning and certainly not in the best interest of the children.

Absolutely not!Something is very wrong with this lady.

I'd rather give my money away to a complete stranger at random before giving a cent to that woman. I have 2 kids of my own that I have to care for. She is a complete loser.

there is no way I would ever donate even a wet wipe to this irresponsible woman. she is out for the Circus Factor hoping for book deals and a free ride. oh brother!!!! talk about rewarding BAD BEHAVIOR.......... that is all we need here in our America.....more misinformed women doing idiotic and unforgiveable things to others who have no say in the matter (talking about her kids now).

just because she was an only child gives her no permission to bring all of these kids into existence for her own selfish reasons. KIDS ARE NOT BORN TO HAVE JOBS FOR THE ADULTS. there is no way this will turn out right unless she gives up those kids to be adopted by others who can give them the care and nurturing and time the kids deserve. and the octo-mom never once took her OWN elderly parents into consideration....did she??? no--why?? because Octo-mom is a selfish self-centered, unstable person. take those kids away from her now before she does permanent damage to all of them. i am 56yrs old and no way would i want my grown and MARRIED kids to have done this. octo-mom is a selfish selfish selfish woman

I would rather donate money to a mama Panda bear. A living creature who is facing extinction and actually carries a legitimate excuse for having more than 4 kids at a time. Octomom, you're on your own.

NO! I feel very sorry for the kids but this was her choice. I am not against helping people but I know people who are more deserving of help.

All of the men who donated sperm should have test done to see if there the father and take every one of those children away from her!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NO money for you octo coo coo!!

This lady had no business even having one more child let alone 8. Her house is a mess her perents are stressed out
financially and mentally and physically and she is only
concerned about herself. How does she even plan on transporting them? Even if she only had one more they wouldn't even fit i a mini van. I think she is unfit and they
should not go to her. They state needs to take them and give them to an able couple

I wouldn't give her the correct time of day. I do feel sorry for the kids, however. One whacko raising 14 children is quite likely to produce one or two future whackos, who may run the gamut from a non-productive life to being a serial killer. She already has 3 who are physically challenged. How many mentally challenged will she produce/raise? The doctor who performed these implants should have his license revoked and be put in jail; the children should be taken from the mother and put up for adoption.

never in a million years!! I feel bad for those poor babies, but this woman made the decision to have all those babies.

We have a population problem as it is, no i would not
donate anything,because the welfare will probably help her as well as many other agencies.To me, its a way to make money.I feel sorry for the children, but the doctor is as resposible for this as she is, and he should anti up.With the economy as bad as it is,the timing couldn`t be worse.I do think the woman has emotional problems, and those should be addressed.I wish the best for them, of course,the babies had no choices in this matter.Dee C.

I don't understand why everyone is so against this mom. She is no different from the illegal immagrants that come into this country, decide to have so many children(that they couldn't care for in their own country)and use our hard earned money, through the state, to care for them. This is no different. Atleast she did it legally. The main thing I am concerend about is the children and that's the help she is asking for. I would most definitely donate to her CHILDREN"S WELL BEING!!!

I sincerely feel that the PHYSICIAN that opted to implant the embryos is the PERSON that should be held ACCOUTABLE FINACIALLY, for these babies and for all HEALTH BILLS including DENTAL , VISION , etc. until each child is 21 years of age . He should as well be made to assist now with finding and paying for any and all help required for their care when they come home . After all HE was the PRIMARY DECISION maker for her to bring 8 babies into this world . HE had to have known about her marital status and level of education and deinitely FINACIAL STATUS . Afer all I'm certain he would not have performed this elaborate procedure without her funds . MAKE THE PHYSICIAN THAT MADE THE DECISION AND PERFORMED THE PROCEDURE BE ACCOUNTABLE FINANCIALLY FOR THESE INNOCENT BABIES , NOW !! HE CERTAINLY MAKES THE MONEY IN THIS BUSINESS , SO KEEP HIM WORKING !! Not one citizen should give one penny to her ! She knew what she was & was not capable of before she had her IVF performed !

I'm a mother of 5 and a grandmother of 17. I know firsthand what it takes to raise children--financially, emotionally and physically. My first 4 children were born within 6 years, and it was as though I had 2 sets of twins. I was a mature, married, stay-at-home woman with a husband who had a viable job which provided a livelihood for our family. With all of these advantages, raising 4 children so close in age was a challenge. Why a seemingly sane single woman who, claiming that she never had that close bond of siblings and having no viable means of financial support for these children other than "student loans", would selfishly bring 14 children into the world to simply gratify her own "need" is beyond my ability to comprehend! I consider this a form of child abuse! Why her physician ignored all proper medical protocol for the sake his patient's personal graitifcation is beyond all reason. He should be brought before the medical board and charged with misconduct and malfeasance for ignoring the Hypocratic Oath he took to "do no harm". Three of her first 6 children have been diagnosed as special needs, and she hasn't been able to care for them without the help of countless others serving as surrogate post-birth mothers. How many of these newest 8 defenseless children will be special needs, as well, and how many 'countless others' will it take to care for them on a daily basis--the daycare center at the college she plans to attend? Any woman in her right mind would not have done such a thing to gratify a "love for babies". She should have purchased a supply of babydolls to hold and dress to play mother to gratify such a childish need! She can't possibly provide all the love and nurturing, as well as physical, emotional, and financial needs to which 14 children are entitled! It takes a village to raise a child, as the saying goes. Obviously, it will take the "village", county, state, and federal governments to raise these children....and we have to pay for this mother's selfish gratification. ABSOLUTE INSANITY!! I would gladly contribute to the financial needs of these children if they were taken from this immature, selfish woman (she cannot be rightfully called a mother) and given to families that would love and cherish each of these little ones as they deserve to be!

I believe we will ALL be forcibly "donating" through public assistance funded by our tax dollars. This woman is either mentally ill or a premeditating predator who has figured out a way to hit the jackpot by doing nothing but giving birth to babies who deserve much better than her.

No Way! What was she thinking.. Well I guess she wasnt. I have twins and I my husband has a great job and we get by. THATS why we didnt have anymore children. Financially we knew for our selves putting both kids through college and having a little extra to retirement two kids was our limit. We would have loved to have 5 or 6.

I think most of the posters here should have their kids removed for teaching hate and intolerance. Do you think all kids should be removed from parents who can't afford them? Do you think all kids should be removed from single mothers? Do you think all kids should be removed from women with mental health issues? I can't believe the venom being spewed to and about this woman who has just given birth. Don't want to give money to the mom? How about donating diapers.

If we knew for a fact a donation would go directly to the children, We probably would, even w/our economic situation being as bad as it is, It's not the childrens fault! How do we know she won't use it to look a bit more like Angelina??? I would even contribute if I knew she was seeking Mental Help or Therapy...I think most of us are on the same page here in thinking, "something is really wrong w/this woman". I feel most not only for the children, but her mom too, who is having to bare the weight of all this too. After all they are her grandchildren, but enough is enough, I love these guys saying hey "I'm the Dad" for their 15 mins of fame, Why aren't they helping w/childcare cost, etc. I am resolved to praying for the grandmother, and the children, Her dad spoiled her so much that she is a munipulator and fake...They would probably be better off being adopted out, Hey maybe she thought Angelina and Brad would adopt some of them.... OMG what is this world coming too????

I wouldn't give that pig a dime. She's got some nerve. I think she's a disgusting woman who doesn't deserve one child, let alone 14. AND expects welfare, disability and hardworking TAXPAYERS to support her??? She should be ashamed of herself. Those kids need to be taken away from her and put into homes that will give them the love and support they need AND DESERVE. Those poor babies.

Let the father of these child come forward and be responsible, or let the Doctor who helped her, pay for them. She should be investigated and these children should be protected, if you can't afford them, then she should of thought of this before she concieved them, now they will suffer. Calfornia residents will be paying for them on the welfare roles.

I knew this would happen...she would begin asking for donations to help her support her children...these children are of choice, no accident but by choose, therefore get a job, and support your children just as we support our children...

While I have no compassion for the mother, because she's psycho and a complete idiot, I do have compassion for the children. The children had no say as to who they were born to and alas, here they are, needing to be clothed and fed. I sincerely hope that CPS intervenes at some point soon and places all 14 of her children in homes with parents who have the financial and emotional ability to raise them properly.

When that happens, I'll send out a donation.

Never will I contribute to her when shes been already after the babies were born going in for Botox injections,buying expensive perfumes etc. Her mother is correct in telling her she already has kids she cant take care of,let someone else take these new babies and give them the proper love and care that they need. This is all just laughs for her.Want to look like Angelina ? spend someone elses money,but it wont be mine and I really hope no-one else will give in to this farce.

In response to Treslyn above. Being a single mom and having a couple of kids is one thing. This disgusting pig of a woman already had SIX and then proceeded to have more. That's what makes her disgusting. She doesn't have mental health issues. She's a greedy disgusting woman who should be ashamed of herself. She's getting welfare, food stamps and disability and ssi then she goes and starts her own website begging for donations of money and items?? I think she's got some nerve. The taxpayers are ultimately paying for this woman to bring up all of those kids on her own. And that, I resent. My husband, who has a great job and I (with my good job) and just making it with our baby. It's not about teaching hate and intolerance. It's about right and wrong. And what that pig is doing is WRONG. And I resent that we all have to pay for her "mistakes".

I'm hoping that after her fifteen minutes of fame are over and she's hasn't become wealthy off this whole mess, she'll figure out that it would be much better to adopt these poor, innocent victims out to eight loving homes. There are plenty of responsible, caring and nurturing potential parents out there.

Everything she did was premeditated including knowing that people would feel "sorry" for her and start donating money. Did she even for one second think about her parents or the future of the children if this thing were to backfire on her which apparently it is.

I will never donate to someone like her! The only reason she had these babies was to make money from book deals, TV,
the government, and the public. She is not thinking of any of her children, only herself. The doctor who did this should be ashamed of himself.

It's really the mom's fault that this happened, but we shouldn't take it out on the kids. They didn't have anything to do with this. It's unfortunate, but we need to leave them alone and all of this media is making matters worse. Yes, we need to give them some supoort.

I would never ever help this women, she knew what she was getting into, she's a nut case, doesn't listen to anyone..She thinks she can do this by herself, let's see, she wont be able to do this by herself...I think she will lose this children soon, and I heard the state is going to watch her anyway.....

She needs a psychiatrist!!! However, for the sake of these children because the children are innocent I would donate only if they'd show me some guarantee or something that this money IS NOT going in her pocket. There would have to be a separate controlled fund where she is MONITERED on how she spends that money.

This woman is unfit to be a mother in the first place so these kids need to be protected. It's about the children! They should put one of those ankle bracelets around her so the authorities can track her every move since she's using these kids for her own celebrity gain!

Why is she even asking for help. She knew what she was getting into when she got pregnant with the 8 babies. Now all of a sudden she needs help. I think that what she needs help with is some serious PSYCHOLOGICAL HELP. Why on earth did she want so many kids when she couldn't even support herself and the 6 other children.She needed a hysterectomy after the she had the first 6. She had said that her church would help. How much is she expecting the church to do for her, they can only do so much.

HELL NO!!

She should have the doctor that ok'd the procedure donate his salary!

Never let the doctor who helped I think went out medical ethics and should have his linese revoked. He should also help paid and upkeep of the children he help created in virto or not.

The entire country has already contributed via Medicaid for the hospital and federal disability benefits for 3 of her first 6 children. I have no problem with a woman having as many children as she wants (with or without a husband); however, I have a MAJOR problem with a woman having more children than she already knows she can't afford. The majority of us know that already and limit ourselves to what we can afford. I don't think those of us who are responsible parents should subsidize those who aren't. Have your children but don't expect or assume that others will be happy to support them.

SHE HAD THE KIDS THINKING WE WOULD SUPPORT HER AND THEM FOR THE NEXT 18 YEARS ..... FORGET IT ..... SHE IS ON HER OWN

Yes, all the things babies need do cost ALOT, but she should have thought of that BEFORE she decided to have 14 children!
It will only be a matter of time before she has a complete breakdown which will be very unfortunate for all of those innocent children.

I welcome this opportunity to say what I think about this situation. I only hope people will take the time to read it, as I am about the 164th person to comment.

I want to address the money situation first as noted in one comment and more, that California is going to pay for these babies. I wish people would be this upset over the large number of illegal alien babies and children that is draining California right now and has been for years.... at least this is an American citizen.

another thing I would like to address is the comment made by another person is that no one mother can provide love, support, emotional growth to 14 children.....WHAT? are you saying the mothers of 50-60 years and further back than that, could NOT be good mothers???? Why ? The children that were raised in large familys, which was the norm, grew up and became fine American Citizens, they knew hard work, sacrifice, and the drive to strive to make this a better world. They fought proudly in our wars. The technology you have today would not exist if it were not for the children from these large families. and yes, their mothers taught them love, respect and honor.

and lastly, this is my take on the whole situation. because this woman had 8 children all at once, instead of honoring the wonderful birth of such a thing happening, they are trying to destroy , not only her, but her parents and all of her children.

If a very poor person (lot in the 60's) had numerous children or illegal aliens had many children , tho not all born at once, no out cry there, just pay for their medical, educational and every year add another child to the list.

but if you have 8 at one time, you are disgusting.

I think she might have felt this was going to be her last pregnancy, as she is not so young anymore, and she wanted one, maybe two more children, so she said to make sure, the procedure worked, just do them all, never dreaming or Planning on having all eggs to become eight tiny brothers and sisters, daughters and sons. So what joy that must have been, or er. should have been in her own personal family, and in the world.

CAUSE ONE THING EVERYONE IS MISSING IS THIS......ONLY GOD DECIDES WHAT SOULS WILL BE BORN AND TO WHOM, NOT THE DR. THAT IMPLANTED HER, NOT HERSELF, ....BUT GOD WANTED THESE CHILDREN TO BE BORN TO HER.....IT WAS HIS CHOICE,

SHE DID NOT MAKE THE CHOICE FOR 8 CHILDREN, THIS IS WHAT EVERYONE IS MISSING.

What a miracle, and God is showing all of us this, and we are not listening or paying attention.

Shame on us,

Yes, I would help her in any way possible, because I would be so honored to be part of the miracle.

Thank you for reading.

This woman is an immature, egotist who exploited these babies for attention & money. She is TOTALLY out of touch with reality. All her children would be better off with parents who will love them. She is capable of loving only herself.

See http://www.facebook.com/ My/our Grand Multip's Group. let me know what you need.....Mom of 3 grown step-kids, 14 singletons and a new pair of twins.....GOD BLESS you and the kids.

Absolutely NO!!!!!! She need's mental help! Let her doctor buddy support them. He was just as responsible. Who paid for that? Look at her nails all nice and perfect, her botox injected lips to look like angelina. She is a lunatic! I feel so sorry for the children whom will be starved for attention. She will eventually find someone stupid enough to make a movie and book deals, but before that all the taxpayers are already paying and will be for a very long time.

Lets give her six months then call child protective services. Ask for a child welfare check to be done on behalf of the children. Once CPS has visited this crazy woman and sees first hand how the kids are doing, and my guess is it won't be very well; take all those children put them in foster care with the chance of being adopted by loving, able families. It is obvious she isn't going to put them up for adoption on her own so how about letting the system that is already in place and being paid for by our tax dollar do their job in the best interest of those kids.

See http://www.facebook.com/ My/our Grand Multip's Group. let me know what you need.....Mom of 3 grown step-kids, 14 singletons and a new pair of twins.....GOD BLESS you and the kids.

As an employee of a children's foster care and adoption service, I am appalled at this woman's and her fertility doctor's irresponsibility. The only ones who will suffer from this sad situation are those 14 children, and the taypayers who will end up paying for their care.

My husband and I are both professionals in the medical field. I have a Doctorate, he has a Master's degree. We have the resources and the time to take care of several children. Yet, we have been told by more than one adoption agency that we could wait up to four years to be able to adopt a baby. And even then, we are facing 15 to 20 thousand dollars worth of fees related to the adoption process for each child. We have established a savings account for these expenses, and have drastically cut back on our lifestyle in order to afford this process. At no point have I, or my husband, look to the government to cover these expenses.

How someone could have 14 children that they cannot afford, and expect taxpayers like me and my husband to pay for it, makes me physically ill.

At the least, these children should be immediately placed in foster care until the mother has undergone a full psychiatric examination, in order to find out if there is an underlying psychosis for her need to surround herself with babies she cannot afford. Or, if as I suspect, she just wanted the attention and knew she could rely on gullible people with soft hearts to pay for her irresponsibilites.

No, I would not contribute any money to this alleged 'woman'!
She already had 6 children via the 'fertility clinic! no one but the Government helps with the 6 children she already had!
Actually, her Parents were trying but 6 babies, the same age is next to impossible- she cannot be giving them 'quality time'! She is not married! I don't know if she is going for the Guiness Book of Records or not but she is definitely mentally challeneged! So is the Dr. or Drs. that impregnated her!
I read that her Dad left the Country! He can no longer handle the embarassment of his his 30+ daughter's behavior;
having 6 children without a Dad; not married and apparently no desire to be married; then she CHOSE fertilization AGAIN!
And Now she has 8 more children! She and Her Mother will not be able to handle all babies and the other 6 kids at the same time!
I don't think the Dr. should be able to impregnate her with so many children, especially knowing she already had '6'!
Maybe the Dr. is the father of the children! If so, let him pay! The Mother needs daycare so she can work! If she cannot handle 14 children she should not have had them! I don't feel sorry for her!
I think she TRULY believes SOMEONE will give her a MILLION dollars for HER STORY! WHAT STORY? It's been told! She has been sexually active since she was a teen; gave her parents a hard time; had 6 children without a husband; lives on welfare and had 8 more? Truly the Left Hand doesn't know what the Right hand is doing!
It may be in her best interest or IN THE BEST INTEREST of the children to be ADOPTED!
She KNEW what she is doing!
If this happened in the 40's; 50's or 60's. NO ONE would be talking about it- especially an unmarried woman having so many children!
She needs tubal ligation!

Aries

Not a chance if I had a million dollars. I will not reward stupidity, & selfishness. She is only concerned with herself not her previous 6 not these 8. She is loving all this attention of course but bottom line 'LET THE DOCTOR SUPPORT THEM" She knows how normally people come together to help those in need but not in these circumstances. She did it for FAME!!

I'd never give this sick woman a dime. If I donate to anyone it would be to CPS to help place the children with loving, stable and capable parents, who will give them a chance at a future.

The thing is....hurting her is only hurting her children. She has 14 children..I do not agree w/ what she did, in fact I think it's downright unethical, but she'll need help to afford these children. By America reacting to her crazy stunt by not making donations to her children--the children will suffer. I really don't want that.

Absolutely not. I will not donate anything to her and I speak on behalf of the rest of my family that is absolutely outraged of her irresponsibility.

She will get enough of our tax dollars. By the way, isnt her 15 minutes of fame up yet!!!

In the intrest of the fourteen children, they should be removed from the custody of a lieing manipulateing selfish mother. Foster care would be a giant step up.

She should of thought about how she was going to take care of them before she did what she did!!! I wouldn't give her anything either. She doesn't deserve it. She is looking for a hand out. Who in their right mind would have a website asking for money. We need our money. The was this country is today, no one is getting away freely. We have to work for what we have and she should have to do the same. Not looking for a hand out.

I would not give her a dime and do not think our taxes should pay her way either. Fourteen kids is in my opinion BABY COLLECTING. She does not deserve to have the joys of raising her children. She takes and takes from her own mother who has her own problems and does not need any more issues creating a dark cloud in her life.

NO WAY!!! I can not believe ANY specialist would put back that many embryos! I had IVF and the RE would only put 2 back at most for my age (34) and he really only wanted to put back 1, but I wanted to put back at least 2. I am happy to say I am pregnant with one healthy baby in April! ;) CAn't believe she has the nerve to ask for $$$$ ughh makes me sooo mad!

NO I WOULD NOT HELP THIS WOMAN AND HER CHILDREN SHOULD BE TAKEN AWAY AND PUT IN A HOME THAT THEY WILL BE CARED FOR.. THIS WOMAN IS NUTS OR SOMETHING AND THE DOCTOR SHOULD LOOSE HIS LICENSE AND BE PUT IN JAIL... THE ONLY ONES I HAVE ANY CARE FOR ARE THE DEAR CHILDREN THAT HAVE A STUPID WOMAN FOR A MOTHER. AND SHE HAS HAD A ENOUGH FAME TIME..

IF anyone should help her out -- it should be the doctor that created ALL of this. Where does she get the money to get her nails done, also

She should have thought about the cost. The carseats, baby beds, diapers & all the other stuff should have been purchased before the speam. I think she is a very sick individual & she does not need any of her children. These kids are growing up in poverty. I have two children & I would do anything for my kids. She is a selfish B****! I will never give her anything! All she thinks about is what she wants. "I love children & I want a lot of them" If she loved her children she would not have had more. OMG the six she already had is too many for her. I love devoting my time with my two children. There is not enough time in a day to give 14 kids the attention they deserve!

I think the doctor and clinic who fertilized her should support them! It is only a matter of time before the children are removed and placed in more stable homes. During this Depression I am helping with my local community food bank, my church, and helping my grown children and their families.

I think it is so selfish of this women to do this. She has enough kids at home and then has fertility treatments to have more!!!!???? I have been trying for 3 years now, been through all kinds of treatments and still not pregnant. The likes of her to do this is so SELFISH!!!! I think that her, her husband and her Doctor should all be charged with neglect and STUPIDITY!! What doctor in his or her right mind would do this? Allow this? I think their license should be taken away from them. And, if I think about it,maybe the kids should be taken away from the parents. She said on an interview that she won't need help, that God will provide, she will provide for them all. In this instance, God Had nothing to do with creating these poor inocent babies. She should be asking the doctor who helped create them for money, not the public. Selfish, selfish, selfish women. May God watch over all those poor inocent children, the ones she has at home and the new babies, and keep them safe and healthy.

No way I would donate! The state needs to step in and remove those 8 babies! And maybe a couple more of her children as well! And she needs to be "spayed"!!

I want nothing more than another child. My husband and I cannot afford the lump sum payments needed to see our fertility specialist in order to make that possible. So, NO, I do not want to contribute to this woman. Her children need someone fit to care for them. Maybe she'd give me a few.

There are absolutely NO polite words I could possibly find to say "HELL NO" to supporting this irresponsible wannabe mother. Those children should be taken away from her and allowed to be adopted by persons who live in THIS reality instead of the fantasy land in which she obviously exists. The doctor(s) who've repeatedly consented to "helping" this woman get pregnant when she has no means to support her offspring should use the procedures monies to actually care for the children he/they helped bring into this world. It really p******* me off that this woman has the NERVE to do what she's done and plans to continue to do - and to ask US to help her? Here's some help: Give your children to those who really can care for and love them and get yourself into therapy - and by no means ask us real taxpayers to help pay for that therapy.

The let idiot doctor who created this nightmare support these children until they are 21 years old.

It has been reported on the news that she is no longer accepting donations like diapers because she has no room to store them. I prefer to give items that can be used, but she has been seen shopping at Nordstrom's, so I'm not sure my $ donation would go to the welfare of the babies, which should be everyone's first priority.

NO! NOPE! NEVER! That woman needs all of those children takwn away from her! Shw is not metally stable to have them the only way she can afford them is from the money she is hoping to make from the publicity. I have two kids of my own with a husband and we struggle from time to time and we dont get donations so why should she? She made her bed now lay in it and take her kids and put them with people who can provide.

no Treslyn. i will not be donating diapers either. we all will be supporting this unstable mother and all those poor babies soon enough. her own mother even went to the ferto doc and begged him not to do this procedure, considering the grandma was already overburdened with the 6 kids left at the home whilst octo-mom was out getting HER FINGERNAILS DONE HER HAIR STYLED....and all the while these latest born babies are in the hospital trying to make it another day.

i stand by opinion......... the octo-mom is a selfish woman and no way this will turn out OK unless some authority branch steps in and evaluates the situation and allows at least some of the children to be adopted by able caring people. i say poor poor California and the rest of the country who have just added more debt to all of us. the woman has no job, no prospects and elderly parents....ahhh but she does have her hair and nails taken care of on a regular basis.. the rest of the country are eeking by on what we make with our own 2 hands....my mother in law just passed away....and now we have my invalid father in law to care for since he is bedridden and needs round the clock care.guess who is handling that financial and physical burden...it aint the government...... social security checks are never enough to cover all a person's living expenses. so yeah........ i guess we should all start a 'help me out' fund.

sound OK to you Treslyn??

That woman should be sterilized and have all of her children taken away from her. The Doctor(s) that enabled her to have all of those children should go to jail.

It is totally disgusting that television programs are paying that woman to appear and giving her exposure. This whole thing is completely disgusting.

NO She caused all this herself. Put her butt to work. I feel sorry for all the families that have lost their jobs and still have to support their families. They deserve the help.

She should not be able to get state help for the new babies either. Who paid for the Dr. and the medical bills for this pregnancy?

What about medical coverage for seniors who have worked and supported the country and women like this?

NO I WOULD NOT HELP THIS WOMAN. I THINK SHE SHOULD BE SPAYED OR NEUTERED LIKE OTHER ANIMALS WHO HAVE LITTERS!! I FEEL SORRY FOR THE CHILDREN & THE PARENTS OF THIS LUNATIC. WHY WOULD ANYONE BRING 14 CHILDREN INTO THIS WORLD WITH NO HUSBAND & NO MEANS OF SUPPORTING THEM. HER POOR PARENTS SHOULD BE ENJOYING THEIR GOLDEN YEARS INSTEAD OF USING THEIR ENTIRE INCOME HELPING THIS BRAT WITH HER BROOD. BLESS THEIR HEARTS I UNDERSTAND THEIR HOUSE IS IN DANGER OF FORECLOSURE. WHAT CHILD WOULD DO THIS TO HER PARENTS? THIS DUMMY DOESN'T CARE ABOUT ANYONE & WHAT BURDEN SHE IS PLACING ON OTHER PEOPLE. WE, THE TAXPAYERS, ARE GOING TO HAVE TO HELP RAISE HER CHILDREN. I HAVE ZERO TOLERANCE FOR PEOPLE LIKE NADYA SULEMAN AND PEOPLE LIKE HER. IF SHE HAD THE ABILITY & WEALTH TO TAKE CARE OF 14 CHILDREN, FINE BUT NOT AT MY EXPENSE & OTHER TAXPAYERS LIKE ME. WE ARE STRUGGLING TO MAKE ENDS MEET & THIS FEMALE HAS HAD THE AUDACITY TO HAVE 14 CHILDREN THAT SHE CANNOT POSSIBLY TAKE CARE OF. THIS KIND OF IRRESPONSIBILITY MAKES ME FURIOUS!!

Hell to the NO!!!! What in the @$#$#%$ was she thinking. Being divorced now, I can barely care for my two, and would not even consider having another one. How will she be able to give all of her children the care, love, attention and time all children need. I feel so......bad for all of her children.

Tie her damn tubes, yesterday....

i think the woman is an idiot! she did it for attention and bc of some sick need to be like angelina jolie. i feel so bad for those kids. especially the older ones who are probably going to end up being the ones caring for the babies. the mom is a selfish human being who is not considering the needs of her own children. i would never donate money to her!! she got herself into this mess, knowing she had know way to provide for the 6 kids she had, let alone EIGHT more! geez, lady wake up!!!!

I think she needs some serious help, and not the financial type. The fact that she was even considered for a fertility drug was a waste of money. At some point we need to say enough is enough!!!! I think she is trying to be famous through the births, some type of munchozin syndrome.We need to have responsability for our actions, she makes me sad, in a sick way!!

You would be doing those children no favors by helping Nadya sustain that household. Clearly she is unstable and is not capabl;e of raising those children. The sooner they are placed with people who can, the better.

NOT MY PROBLEM--She didn't know what things cost? She had 6 kids. Is she going to educate them? Should we pay for that? I

THAT IS THE MOST FUNNY THING THAT IV HEARD.
THERE ARE SO MANY PEOPLE OUT THERE THAT WORK
AND TRY SO HARD TO MAKE A LIVING.AND NEED HELP.
THE ONLY WAY TO HELP THESE KIDS, IS TO TAKE THEM
AWAY FROM THIER MOTHER.BUT SOME STUPID PEOPLE WILL
HELP.WHY DONT DR.PHIL HELP PEOPLE THAT ARE LOSING
THERE HOMES. NOT HER.SHE IS THE CAUSE OF THIS

Well I have a somewhat different take as well. I don't think the children should suffer. It is not their fault. I also think that the mother had issues in the beginning because she grew up along and felt that she would never want her kids to be along it seems that she may have some type of OCD because of what happened to her. If though this is not right I feel for people that may have a mental issue based on childhood or what ever. We cannot judge her but just hopes she has learned the consequences of her actions and know that the kids still need intense care. I think that maybe people cannot donate on website but that she should take the help being offered by the organzation of a lawyer that was on the news. This would give the kids the medical and financial help they need until she at least have a plan. God does not want any child to be deprived no matter how the situation came about. I do however wish the Doctor would have rethought the situation before doing this.

I agree with a comment on this board. People work so hard to support their children. There are so many people out there who are working two to three jobs just to feed their children, and this woman is just sitting there with her plastic surgery and her in vitro fertilization with her cute little hand out. No, I would not donate to this woman because I refuse to reward bad judgement. However, this is not up to me. The government will step in and take my money that I have earned and just give it to this woman who decided she wanted to have many children. She had 6 of her own, and decided to have 8 more. I hope that the doctor loses his license, and I hope that this woman has a good taste of reality. Right now, she is living in lala land.

I WILL NOT GIVE THAT WOMAN ONE RED CENT! People like her aggravate me. She expects to be given everything, while everybody else has to work for it. My husband and I married 5 years ago, and we JUST had a baby after trying for all that time. It irks me that women like her can pop babies out left and right, while other women (like me) have to deal with fertility issues. Take the children away from her and give them to families who can take care of them. I mean, she has 3 children collecting SSI payments and are labeled as disabled. What happens to them? How can she properly take care of them with 11 other siblings???

Did medicaid pay for her fertility drugs and the Dr.? I can't believe that a Dr. in his right mind would even consider doing anything but removing her insides. How dare her ask the public for help I am sure she is already on welfare, OBama should pass a new law, anyone on any kind of government assistance should not be allowed to have any babies or they loose their benefits. Their are too many people out there that deserve public monies....like our military. Send her kids off to war!!

This whole thing is a horrible thing. She is definitely got a problem, the damn doctor should take some responsibility, and lose his liscense. The sad thing is what is going to happen to these babies,...They never asked for this.

the idiotic behavior of this nadya person just goes to show that she should have raised dogs or cats or mice. not babies. at least with furry pets she would have been able to not be 'alone' and at least not added to the taxpayers burden. nadya you and your brood including your own dad who lives 'overseas' according to the Oprah show he is pleading your nadya case.... this very minute...shoul just go back to your country of origin if you don't like the way America is responding.

and to the nadya dad...please stop pulling GOD into this......... God says a man and woman come together in love.......... and make children....and not using IVF thru a quackerfactory Doc.

oh no not again.

all this hotpress is going to do is cause more and more women who want allllllllll that attention this woman is going to reap $$$$ in dollars and cents...... hey woman get a life but don't punish the rest of us because you, nadya feel 'alone'

good grief. grow up woman. you made the choices that led to this. God was not in the planning IMO.........

In my opinion the 8 babies should all be adopted out,she also needs
to get fixed & CPS should take her other kids too.
Any woman that cannot afford the kids does not deserve to be a mother!
And someone should pull that doctor's medical licence too.

I need a mansion and nice car too, I think Ill have a few Dozen kids, NOT. Nice try though lady.

Screw that psycho bitch, she isn't getting a cent of my money. They actually want her to be on a reality show? Has this Country gone mad? The state - taxapayers - will have to pay for her selfish acts. This is millions of dollars we are talking here. This Country makes it far to easy for people to abuse the system. Those babies need to be taken away from her and placed into loving homes. These poor babies are being used in order to make the mother rich.

I need a mansion and nice car too, I think Ill have a few Dozen kids, NOT. Nice try though lady.

I'm a californian, a tax payer, and a member of Kaiser. I've already paid enough for Nadya and her family. I'm sure I'll end up paying for the rest of thier health care, and plenty toward child protective services once those children are taken away from her. What a mess!

I hope she hasn't ruined fertility treatment for the real responsible americans who use it properly.

Read Heidi's comment. Heidi is also a stupid fucked up bitch. We should feel sorry for her because she didn't mean to have 8 babies she only meant to have one? Heidi, you are a misled fucked up moron and I'm not going to celebrate this psycho for having 8 babies.

I have seen several people say that she just wanted one more. What in the world did she and her irresponsible doctor think would happen by implanting 6??? Of course there is the high probability of multiples. In her case 2 split and she ended up pregnant with 8. The doctor should be held accountable for his irresponsible role in this. He never should have implanted that many, if any, into a mentally and financially unstable woman. What it comes down to is the all mighty buck. He does his thing, gets paid and then his part is done. The government should have better regulations for this type of situation. I am not saying they should take the rights of parents away, but there should be better guidelines in place. Just like with plastic surgery, you have to have a mental evaluation done in most cases. The insurance company should be held accountable for this too. The fact that she already had 6 children, was "disabled", mentally unstable and financially unstable should have all been a HUGE red flag to all involved. I wouldn't give her one penny. Those poor children need it and are the ones that are suffering and will continue to suffer. There are many loving and stable homes that would take all of those precious babies and care for them the way they need and deserve. There are many hard working people that still need help through state and federal funds, but because of people like her, it makes it harder for the ones that really need the assistance to get it.

There is no doubt that she will receive money through the state, local, and federal government to take care of her children. So, there is no doubt that these children will have their physical needs provided for. I do not agree that a woman of her character should be rewarded for consistently making bad choices. One of the problems with the American government is that sometimes the system enables people to become dependent and to continue making bad choices. When she deliberately chose to have these children, she chose to take responsibility for them and not to have the public or anyone else to care for them. She should seek assistance through the state and local programs that are available and not petition the public for donations through a website when this was her choice to have all of these children. I will not donate a dime.

Madge you are fucked up too. How dare you accuse infertile women as being vindictive because they can't have their own kids. How dare you of accusing adoptive couples of not being as good of or better parents than birth mothers. No, I don't believe that someone should have as many children as they can possibly have just for the sake of having children. That's called being irresponsible. She couldn't afford the 6 children she already has, so how dear you congratulate her for having more. You people who support her sicken me. Don't talk about compassion, you naive bitch. She duped you just like she's trying to dupe everyone else.

The only thing I would donate, and gladly, are the daily prayers I have been saying for those poor octuplets-and her other poor 6 children- that they have good lives (if possible), in spite of their selfish, thoughtless mother. Those 14 children need all our prayers.

I feel bad for those kids... but how dare she ask for donations? She had those kids with no job, living with parents... Im still baffled as to why/how that doctor could have gone along with this knowing her situation. Let the doctor pay for it all. I have 4 kids and would have more...but its not financially realistic or responsible...
This situation just gets me so.... i cant put it into words LoL

To Albert who wrote on Feb.22; WTF???????Are you retarded or something?????? You think we are judging her because her last name is Sulman????? God, I wish I had your e-mail address so I could say how fucking stupid you are. You think that someone who spends money on plastic surgery yet claims to have no money for her kids is deserving of donations? That's a good mother? I can't believe the fucked up people who actually support her.

Look I feel very sorry and sad for this lady. What was she thinking before she decided to pop these babies out. It is the not children's fault to be put on this earth now those poor kids are the once suffering. My biggest problem with her is she lied to the american people saying she is not on any support system. She showed not sympathy towards her case, not a sorry to anyone. This woman is just an selfish old person, who deserves nothing, nothing, nothing

I most certainly would not donate to this woman. She should have thought about the repercussions of having so many children. I think the doctor who implanted her should have to pay for these kids. I'd also like to know where she got the money for the fertility treatments since she does not work. If it came from the tax payers, then she should have to pay back every dime. This is a case of science run completely amok. People need to be responsible. If you CANNOT afford to feed and care for your OWN children, then you SHOULD NOT be having them!!!!

I have an idea. For all of the people who support this woman, let's take all of the money from their paychecks to help pay for the babies. If you say we shouldn't judge her, then don't judge us if we take all of your money in order to support her kids and not leave you enough to support your own. Let's see if that will shut you up. I don't support irresponsibility and I don't care what anyone says. If you can't take care of six (her parents took care of the kids and they live in a very small house) then how is she going to take care of 14 more? Her own mother says this woman has problems. How is rewarding her going to solve this problem? Doesn't she need psychiatric help if she has problems? If her problems are so serious, then doesn't it stand to reason that these babies should go to loving, emotionally stable homes?

NOT A CHANCE IN THE WORLD !!!

This woman should be institutionalized, and her children put up for adoption in homes that can AFFORD to take care of them!! This woman is CRAZY !!!

For a hyterectomy, yes.

I have an idea. For all of the people who support this woman, let's take all of the money from their paychecks to help pay for the babies. If you say we shouldn't judge her, then don't judge us if we take all of your money in order to support her kids and not leave you enough to support your own. Let's see if that will shut you up. I don't support irresponsibility and I don't care what anyone says. If you can't take care of six (her parents took care of the kids and they live in a very small house) then how is she going to take care of 14 more? Her own mother says this woman has problems.

If her problems are so serious, then doesn't it stand to reason that these babies should go to loving, emotionally stable homes?

If she thought for one minute that she would have to take care of all her children by herself, without relying on family,the charity of others,or donations from corporate america we wouldn't be having this discussion. She never would have had more than a couple of kids to begin with. If you want that many thats your choice, more power to you but do it on your own like the rest of the real world.

I came from a family of 10; one at a time and remember how my parents struggled. It was a different era and it was easier to manage back then. With all the parents that cannot have children, why couldn't she have donated those embryos? What kind of life will those children have and how dare she ask for contributions??? With six already and some of them with health conditions she had her plate more than full already. I'm hoping she gets them taken away (the octuplets) and is forced to survive on what she can earn not what the government can give her. I pray for all of those children that they survive their weird childhood and that their mom gets the mental health treatment she needs.

NOT ONE RED NICKEL. I'm sorry...I raised three kids without one dime from strangers...I worked a job to take care of them. She didn't have a job or means to take care on of the kids she had, so she goes out had has 8 more...come on..now all of sudden she needs help. SHOCKER! She was in for the money...that's obvious. But with people losing their jobs and homes...the good will of American people need not be wasted on this woman!!! I don't have money to waste on a french manicure for myself certainly won't be financing her next one. If she can't take care of them...put them in homes where someone can afford them.

She should of thought of all the 'parenting' responsibilities before she had the 1st 6 children,including a Husband. There is something seriously MENTALLY wrong with her.

I will NOT donate a cent to her. She had no business having so many children if she cannot take care of them. She should adopt them out to someone who can and will take care of them. Taking my tax dollars is highway robbery. The Doctor involved should be disciplined and have his license at least suspended.

how did she pay for the invitro in the first place? i believe the doctor should help support the children.

I have to agree with all of these posts here. She already had six children who she couldn't take care of, & now she decides to bring eight more into the mix. All for an attempt for fame, & lots of money. Sad. Especially when she doesn't have the resources or whatever to take care of them! If I would give money to someone, it would be for those children, not to her, because I & others know that she would only take that money & spend it on herself. Plus while her doctor didn't exactly do anything illegal & was just doing his job, I believe that he should also step in & help (at least finanically).

He knew what kind of situation she was in, & knew that she already had six children in whom she couldn't take care of (three of them that are already disabled & will be for the rest of their lives). The ones who I feel sorry for are her parents, those 14 kids, & the Californian residents, as they're the ones who will be suffering the most with their taxpaying dollars of taking care of those kids for the next 18 years because of that woman. Thank goodness I don't live anywhere in that state. I would rather move to somewhere in Canada if I had money; at least they're more smarter & have fewer crime rates!

Someone needs to step in & take all 14 children away from her & give them to good people (or good couples) who are unable to conceive children of their own! Plus she needs to be sterilized so that she would be unable to do this again. Plus if I'm right, she already owes $50,000 in student loans, & that she has used that money for herself! If I'm right, that is a felony if you use that money for anything other than to put the money towards paying off tuition, etc. Plus she is also getting money off for SSI, food stamps, etc.

Not only that, she is very well capable of working, when she really didn't have any back injuries & wasn't really injured in any way, because otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to give birth to so many children, or that she would have miscarriages. She needs to get up, stop using the government or the system to take care of her, & work like the rest of us! This is one of the reasons why this economy is already in trouble as it is, becuase of girls & women like her who are constantly bringing more children into this world that they can't even support! It's ridiculous, & this cycle needs to end!

No way, that woman really needs to have her head examined. Clearly she is not fit to be a mother and the doctor that allowed this to happen should lose her license. I will just say I am glad I don't live in California where I would have to pay for yet another child that is not mine.

I hope the state is planning on stepping in and putting those kids in a home where they can get the real love and attention they deserve!

Just to let eveyone know, I'm a guy, & I don't have any children; I forgot to mention that in my statement. But I would know that it would be very hard to take care of those children finanically, let alone 14 of them. Don't breed if you can't take care of them!

Here is what I think: It is time to STOP judging her, stop gossiping about her, and start helping her children. She needs shelter, food, and clothing for all her kids! Let's not question her motives, let's help the children. We contribute hundreds of dollars to orphans in foreign countries; let's help these babies! Let's say something positive....she has EIGHT newborns, who are doing well. None of them have died! That says something about her caring for herself when she was expecting. Never mind her motives....let's help her kids, the first six and the second eight, too! If I lived nearby, I would volunteer one night a week to help with laundry , holding babies, cooking, or whatever she needed. She needs a whole team to help her! All you Christians out there, act Christ-like! Help this family!

The doctor who implanted all these babies including the first six should support them and pay for all the hospital bills. Why should the American public have to pay for all that when we have kids who have no insurance and can't get to see a doctor or can't afford to get needed medication.

ALL of you who keep referring to her babies as "her litter" are just as SICK as you think she is!!! These babies are human beings, not animals! I don't agree with the fact that she continued to have babies after she already had six with no job, BUT they're here and she can't turn back time! NOW, the only thing left for Nadya to do is to try her hardest to take care of these babies the best way possible...make sure they're fed, clothed, and have a roof over their head!! If you don't want to donate any money to her then DON'T, but don't keep trashing her name and tearing her apart with insults, because you're upset either because you can't conceive or because you don't agree with her....that's terrible!!!! THE FACT IS, THE BABIES ARE ALREADY HERE!!!

I myself am a single mom. I know how hard it is to be a single mom. However, I do not condone what she has done. She obviously was having troubles taking care of her older children. Now, I have absolutly no problem with people having large families. The bigger the better in my opinion. However, in order for you to be responisible about it, you need to be able to afford all the children that you have. She does not have the means to raise these children, and I think that she should live with what she did, without help. In one of her news statements, she said that she was not looking for help from people. Well, then she won't get any from me.

I cannot believe how much people are judging and making such horrible remarks. Sure 14 kids isn't a good plan but they are here and instead of bashing the Mom how about showing some interest in helping the kids. You don't have to give money. She may have made a mistake or error in judgement but who am I to judge her and show my ignorance by insulting her and impose my morals and ethics on her? Everyone needs to get off there high horse, haven't we bashed her and her family enough. She has the task of caring for 14 kids and she doesn't need the world on her back causing her to be afraid and stressed out. It takes a village....

YOU ARE AS STUPID AS THE OCTOMOM IF YOU SEND $$$$ FOR HER CAUSE -- IT WILL NEVER GO TO HER BROOD - IT WILL BE USED BY HER FOR HER MOST SELFISH WISHES

There shouldn't be a single person to donate a thing she already got contributions from her first set of multiples. She choose to be implanted with another set of multiples. I guess she should have set aside the money needed before getting pregnant again. I guess the idiotic doctor who choose to do the implant of the embryos should have to help support them there is know excuse for him doing the procedure. I guess she needs to get off her duff and find one hell of a high paying job so she can support all those children. I know one thing I work to hard to take care of my family and the state and federal government better not be giving her any hand outs. To many needy people are turned down daily for her to just receive them.

I would much rather give everything to a home for cats.

Why don't you ask all those pro-lifers to support her kids. If they are so into women having babies, they should be glad to. As for me, I'll donate to a clinic giving free birth control or abortions. It is just criminal to bring children into the world that you are not equipped financially to raise.

I am a sucker for a sob story! BUT she wrote her own story at her children's expense, and now she is using them for financial gain! How selfish is that? Nadya did NOT do anything special that any one of us woman could have done if we had taken fertility drugs or had surgery to have multiple births!! God did not make us women to have litters OR intend for us to have babies alone. Being our Creator, He knows what is best for us and His little Creations!
I am surprised she did this again when three of her first six children have some kind of medical problem and she is living off of THEM!!
I would and have donated to the less fortunate, but I would not put it past her to save the money for another fertility treatment!
I think the most loving thing for those babies is to give them to child-less couples who can take care of them...and love them unconditionally! Sadly Nadya's "love" for them has conditions. I will continue to pray for them and her!

She is selfish, demented, callous and out of her mind!

She actually expects people to take all financial resposibilites? What she did to her children, her parents and hard working people isincredibly selfish and callous!
Too bad her own mother didn't have enough sense to have aborted her before she was born, this dumb broad has a defected frontal lobe on the right side of her brain!

It is a fact that the mom used poor judgement in having all these babies. The fact is the children are here and do we as a society punish the children for the mother's lack of intelligence. Sending hate mail is just wrong. God don't like ugly. Being hateful is not going to help those 8 babies one single bit. No the mom shouldn't be made famous or have a pat on the back, but right now the main concern should be those babies who didn't ask to get here.

I do agree with the people who said that it is the children who need our help, not her. She didn't work out all the details she would need to know in order to take care of another 8 children. Why should other people - taxpayers or students (or some people who are BOTH!) - have to foot everything? It is nice to see that she is trying to further her education. But shouldn't she have thought about that before intentionally bringing in this many more children?

Seriously. I feel sorry for her children and her parents. All dragged into the spotlight (unwittingly) for her fame? Why choose to punish them with a difficult life? I could make comments on what she thinks, but honestly, I truly don't know what is going on through that head of hers. I wish I did. It might make helping those 14 beautiful children a little easier.

The only way I'd give her money is if I could be sure it was going to the care of her children only and not for more plastic surgery or fake nails for the mom. How did she ever get the money for more IVF when she had 6 kids? She is not a responsible enough person to manage her children and money as she has shown.

I think there needs to be a trust for the children and the mom doesn't have control of the money so it can only go to the housing, care, and feeding of the kids.

The money she gets from the gov't for her autistic child should be going to extra therapy and help for him and not feeding all his brother's and sisters.
These kids are best off with their mom and siblings but they will need alot of help and I hope they get it. I just hope the mother gets some therapy too cause she is in great need of it.

For anyone who says it is no one's business, as long as she is asking others (either the government or anyone else), it is everyone else's business. My parents adopted 2 children that they had had from birth due to them being drug babies. Their little girl was abandoned at birth and the little boy, well, he already had other siblings that weren't living with the mom or dad due to them not being able to raise them. Due to drugs and alcohol, we will probably finding out soon that this little boy has Fetal Alcohol Syndrome as well as autism (though the autism wasn't caused by drugs or alcohol). The point of the state taking children away from their parents is to not only give those children a secure, loving place to be in, but also to teach the parent how to be a parent as well as giving them job skills and time to get themselves on a better course so that they CAN take care of their children.

In my honest opinion, this is what needs to happen with this woman's children. Her mother has already said that she will not raise the children in Nadya's stead. So who does that leave?? No one. Plus, Nadya herself should be less worried about being in school full-time and instead, working a job that will help support her family instead of looking for handouts. Honestly, if she has to have 2 jobs, then that's what she needs to do. I remember times when my mother was single and she would work 2 jobs if that's what it took to support me and my sister. That's what you do when you're a parent. You don't not work and expect the world to pay for that decision... literally. If all 14 children were put into foster care, a psychiatric evalution done on this woman (to make sure that there isn't a problem and to get her help if there is one), and require her to take parenting classes as well as to get a full-time job, then the children would be given back by the state when she can take care of them mentally and physically.

This is not hating, and whoever it was that tried to turn this into a race issue is obviously missing the point. It's not a race issue. Just as many white parents have their kids taken away as any other. My little brother is an example of that. My little sister is latina (she was the one that was abandoned at the hospital). Foster care is an equal opportunity division. The point isn't about what the parents want. The point is to make sure that these kids have a stable and loving environment to grow up in. Right now, they don't. She knew that she couldn't support the 6 she already had on her own, so she shouldn't have tried for any more until she could.

As for the doctor, he should lose his license to practice for not following the guidelines of his proffesion, not to mention totally disregarding the Hyppocratic Oath. Remember the "do no harm" part?? That goes for her children as well as her.

I'm not saying she shouldn't get her kids back if she begins being able to take care of them... she should. But it's irresponsible to expect other to pay financially for her decisions. And for whoever talked about the Duggars and the Gosselins.... they both raise their families without help from the state. I don't know about the Duggars, but both John and Kate Gosselin have jobs. It's tough on them with schedules, etc., but they do it. And they only had 2 to begin with, not six. If you can't support children mentally, physically and most of all financially, you shouldn't purposely go out and get pregnant with more.

That's just my 2 cents.

Big families are great but if you cannot afford them why bring a child into that kind of situation? This mother needs to stop and actually think about how her children are going to suffer from all the attention she is drawing and how they are going to grow up forced in to this kind of situation.

I hope something happens so that those children will grow up in a home that is more suited for 8 children.

It is obvious this person is a legend in her own mind and she thinks people are getting in line to help her--There can be no good outcome to her having all 14 under one roof--the fact that she was so thoughtless to undergo the implantation of 6 eggs-saying she did not want them destroyed, shows how unstable she is--yet she cannot face that fact--all her life she was allowed to do as she pleased--her Mom and Dad are right in the middle of this whole irresponsible situation-she could have passed them to a mother who could properly care for them-If the state allows them to go home with her, it will be a real shame-She loves the attention--if everyone would stop paying attention to her-ignore the whole blooming mess and let her cope on her own--Then the real side of her would show--she loves the attention she is getting--I think her 15 minutes of fame is up.

I have read all the posts and although I do feel that I would absolutely NEVER give one penny to this woman, I feel heartbroken for the children in this situation. Shame on that doctor for doing this in-vitro. And no she did not go into this wanting 1 more child she wanted lots of babies knowing if 6 were implanted more than 1 would take. Child welfare needs to step in and take a very big step in controlling what happens to all 14 innocent children. Should she be allowed to raise them????No onecan honestly answer that, I just hope she can.

I say yes If i could I would donate to her because the only ones that will suffer will be the kids. I wouldn't do it for her, I would do it for the kids.

NO WAY !!!! She didnt need our help getting pregnant. She needs help she is crazy. Lets donate to get all those children taken away from her dumb ass. She new what she was getting into, it was all for attention. Its just sad that those kids have to live with her now. Maybe they will get taken away and all our prayers will be answered.

As a member of (as we all are )the babies extended family all 14 of them i pray that the sins of the mother are not inherited by them. Their lives have already been marked by this woman an her total disreguard for these poor babies all 14. I would not give her one dime. She knew full well what she was doing and did it for Money not her love of children. I love children I have 3. She did not want to go out find a job and support herself and her 6 children. I guess she new she couldn't live off her poor parents and whatever welfare she is getting forever.So why not live off every other American taxpayer. I should give her money. By the way have I already invested in her useless education? I feel very bad for the children and what ever their futures will be but for all the people who worry about her she will be fine she knows the ropes

why would she bring in 14 more people for the world to take care of? why not adopt? i bet she overdosed on that pregnancy medicine! X-(

In reading some of the responses on this blog about being heartless, uncaring and lack of understanding, just think about who the heartless and selfish one really is. I believe that the children do not have her best interest but are being used for a get rich and famous ploy. California is in debt [billions] you bet the tax payers, the responsible hard working people are upset. Losing jobs, 401Ks, investments, their homes, worrying about how they are going to feed and clothe their own children, and now they will be given the burden of paying to raise her children? For her it's a WIN WIN situation. So really just who is heartless, selfish and uncaring?

This woman chose to have those kids, I feel bad for the kids. People like myself are ones supporting that woman and those kids. I believe she did this for attention and money....

I wouldn't give her even one red cent! ALL of her children should be taken away from her and given to good homes, and she should be required to get her tubes tied. In my opinion, she had those kids (all of them!) just to get free money and help to raise them. The kids will probably do without no matter how much money is donated to her. She'll use that money on herself first....because she's selfish.

She needs to put them all up for adoption and let some responsible childless couple have the joy of raising them so they won't grow up thinking this is the way life is supposed to be,

Sure, I'd be glad to donate if she decides to adopt them out to a sane mother. The poor little things deserve better.

This woman is very unstable. The children should be taken from her, and she should work until retirement to help support them. So should the doctor who saw $$$$$ signs and ignored his hippocratic oath. Any monies she recieves from anything ( book rights, payment for pictures, etc) should be put in a trust for her children ONLY! My taxes have been and will continue to support this woman and her ilk.

I would not give this woman anything if I had more than Bill Gates does. She knew she was on her own and she went had these babies imlpanted however she went about doing it. That alone cost alot more than people who could really care for a baby can afford right now. You know I have a daughter and I'm also 7 months pregnant, soon after my husband and I found out we were pregnant he got laid off. We too are having money troubles now, maybe I should start my own site and ask people for donations, but I'm not. If she was anyone else in a way different situation like say Jon and Kate, then yes I would be glad to help but I am sorry to say I would not and will not be heling this woman. Something does however need to be done for these children, although I'm not sure what. I would hate to see sibling split up but really, you have to think of the better good and welfare of these kids. All I can say is, God be with them.

I went to the website and left a message. I told her that the only way I would give would be if her mother could collect it and use it to provide for the children. I also told her that I feel soo sorry for her parents. They have literally been eaten out of house and home by her and her brood. I think the mother and father are either separated or divorced.

I agree with Jami, I would love to help the mother who has to be stressed out by this. I truly hate that she is about to lose her home. Then where will this selfish person lie with her army?

Judge not lest ye be judged. The whole story hasn't been told, and to form an opinion based on media speculation and your own speculation is quite amazing to me. You need to look at yourself, especially the people who suggest she should lose her children, and be ashamed.

The only money I would be giving is to child services for taking all the kids away. I will happily give them gas money. Apparently she doesn't need money if she can afford fake nails for her interviews...she makes me sick. To all those women out there who are responsible and cant have kids have to cope with that, but of course this woman can have 14 kids and be a complete psycho...great..there goes all my tax dollars!

Is someone going to give us money because we have been victims of a scam and lost everything we own. Our son leaves in 2 weeks for his 2nd deployment. I happen to be in a marriage and thru it all we are still madly in love. We were victims of unethical people and we devoted our lives to helping others and now we can't even save our own family. Don't do things in life to expect donations. She had no right to have these kids when she had 6 at home that she can't take care of on her own. Shame on her and shame on the system.

It's Not The Kids Fault that they were born. Their here now, don't they deserve a good life?

Octomom is selfish to have all these children, she should not a dime from anyone and those who give her any money are just a selfish. She should not get a dime from the goverment either. This stunt she is pulling is terrible. Those children did not ask for this.

She had embryos already fertilized. To many of us, that is human life. Instead of destroying human life, she chose to carry the babies to term. I know several women who are paying large sums of money to preserve their ferilized embryos because they are not ready for children but don't want to destroy human life.

No, I would not donate any money to ANY woman who has six children, lives with her parents, has no means of support and decides that she wants another child. Unfortunately, in America too many people believe that their children should support them. The more children they have, the more public assistance they receive - free housing, free medical care, free food, energy assistance, and money. Unfortunately, in most cases the children suffer. The children are not born because they are wanted - they are born because women and men are irresponsible. How many men believe that their "manliness" is based on the number of children that they have. Not the number of children they support - but the number of children they have and the more different mothers, the better.

Most working family cannot afford to raise two or three children. Why should someone who "wants" seven (and ends up with 14) be rewarded financially for her decision. Unfortunately, too many people in America believe that the government (tax payers) owe them just for living in this country. No where does the Constitution state that anyone has the right to a free ride.

Why? With 6 kids already there is no why a single mother could afford 14. So why have them

There is something terribly wrong in our society when a woman can play with little human lives. My heart goes out to those lives that will have to live with a neglectful and self-centered narcissitic mother. That woman is mentally unstable and should never have had the first six children. Where is the so-called concerned social workers who think it's okay to put those babies at risk, or even the first six babies for that matter. This woman is sick and should not be allowed to push her mentality on those precious souls.

not on your life if I had enough money that I could donate anything It would be in trust toward the collage education that this poor children will not be able to get do to the stupidity of A woman that thinks if she has 14 kids she will get a free ride she needs to get no help changing so much as one diaper till she puts these children with people that have the love and are able to take care of them physically fianacially and emotionally the way they should be taken care of.

I am so glad to see there are so many rational thinking people on this site. As for the other bleeding hearts, you are the reason we are in the state we are in. Just keep rewarding the low lifes who do want to work and want handouts their entire life. They have kids and it just perpetuates itself. They have a choice, we don't; we ALL pay for it whether we like it or not! Too bad you can't pay for this idiots poor kids and leave the rest of our money alone!

I say if she can't afford to take care of her own children, she should give them up for adoption. She should of thought about these children before she had them. Thnking of herself.And the doctor that put all of these cells in her needs to have his medical license revoked. She had all this money to have plastic surgery, etc. but no money to take care of her own children. I hope God will punish her for this. She needs some mental help.

NO I will not give her any money It's ALREADY our tax dollars are paying for her and the children

NO i wouldn"t give her one red cent She's already getting money from the Goverment.

If the babies were being neglected, then I would help in some way, but not necessarily with money.
Forget the insane nother - what about those children?

WHOA!! Do you live in America or what?? We dont just march in and take a woman's child (children) from her without giving her the benefit of the doubt.

If these babies are torn away from the mom and all placed in foster care, as some people think they should be....Wont the tax payers/state of CA., still be shelling out bucks for them?

I agree, the woman is a fool for doing this, but she doesnt deserve to lose her children before given a fighting chance.

Remember...this is AMERICA!

No Way! This country is in major need,why should we be expected to help her,she's the one that wanted more kids after she already had six,she's stupid and needs to figure it out on her own.

No,Iwouldn't give her one thin dime.She'd be better off asking for money to see a lifetime psychiatrist,then the donations would start pouring in,lol!

The whole story hasn't been told, and to form an opinion based on media speculation and your own speculation is quite amazing to me.

Viciousvzl, give me a break! You're just maknig excuses for her. We have known all the facts from this since day one, & yes, the whole story has been told. Wake up.

This is another example of someone not taking responsibility for their own actions....if she wanted all these children so badly SHE should have planned on supporting them. She has alot of nerve even asking people to contribute! If she can't support them then she should think about all those little ones and give them to people who can take care of them.

Do NOT encourage this unstable woman by giving her any money!!! Instead of using it for her kids, it would likely go to either more plastic surgery or to implanting more embryos. (Nobody knows if even her current 14 is enough to fill the "emptyness" she claims to feel.) The latest report is it will cost at least five million dollars just to get these eight babies out of the hospital! At that point the government should immediately step in and place them with loving adoptive homes. It's the only way I see these babies ever having a chance at a decent life...far away from their selfish greedy birth mother.

Mom had plenty of money to pay for invetro and plastic surgery there is not a chance I would voluntarily contribute money to this willful, selfish, thoughtless woman. My only concern in this is that these children, all 14 of them, will be cared for by this woman, not only financially but emotionally and physically.

HELL NO! She had the money for invitro fertilization and the fertility drugs.Why is she asking for help to properly raise her children--we did not pay for her fertility drugs and invitro fertilization.If she had that kind of money dhe dhould be able to take care of her children. Hell.we make 50,000 a year and I can not afford invitro to have another child that we want. Would anyone care to donate money for me to have invitro???Thought not.

I will not donate money to this mother of 14 unless the money could be guaranteed to go to the children. Bottom line is that whether you and I contribute individually, our money will contribute to this family if she receives any kind of public assistance. It's all taxpayer money. Some said she only wanted 1 child and instead got 8. I was under the impression that at least 6 embryo had been implanted (2 supposedly split). Was that to see if any would take? The doctor bears some responsibility in this too if medical law says only 2 embryo should be implanted at one time. This young lady seems to be very unstable. First she says it will be hard tp raise all these children and she does not seek money Then she puts up a website asking for donations. Then she says she must learn to "let go of wanting to control the situation and learn to accept the help being offered." Yeah, right!!! I have never agreed with making a woman have her tubes tied but how come that issue never came up after this event. If she just wanted to have/help children, she should have considered adopting some of those children who are already struggling in the world. Oh well, guess this could go on and on. What is done is done. Let's help the children. They will need it.

This is poor judgement on her part. I would not donate anything to her. I've seen too many people haveing kids to take the easy way out. Live on the welfare system. Too lazy to work and no husband. Just pop out those kids. Someone will do a story on her and she will become a millioniare.

I hope she is investigated and all of those children are removed from her care. If not, that crazy doctor who put those babies in there should have to support them for the next eighteen years.

i would not give her anything and i hope nobody helps her she is not all there having all the children and getting her lips done that is costly there is a father now let him pay and the conditions they live in doesnt she know how to clean i stand by if you were ment to have children you will have them on your own

Let Oprah pay for it! I am sure she will be on that show soon enough anyway!

She's unemployed, using student loans to pay for her basic necessities (which is illegal - plastic surgery, IVF, starbucks, Nintendo Wii, Manicures, fast food) and receiving food stamps and disability for 3 of her special needs children...I would not give that woman a single penny- she should not be trusted with any monetary aid she receives for those poor kids. Donations of food and diapers should be the only handout that irresponsible woman should accept with great gratitude. Someone here said she didn't know she was going to have 8 babies...she knew she would at least have 2-6 more on top of the 6 she already had - that's still irresponsible and stupid. Why reward her for being a moron first and secondly a leech on the taxpayer? I have no sympathy for this scum of the earth poor excuse for a mother. Looks like the majority feels the same way.

I rescue unwanted pets and have little use for people who overpopulate the world with excess pets...and their "footprint" on earth is a mere 12-18 yrs. How someone thinks their genes need to be in quantity for the next 80 years, is beyond me...it sure is not that mom shows any intelligence beyond the average person! And help support such stupidity....thank you, there are enough true accidental births that already need help,mch less premeditated multiple ones.

I sincerely understand society's position with regard to giving money to this female. On the other hand there is one thing that is important: The babies themselves. Not only the new ones but the 6 that were here first. I would give physical items, diapers, formula, etc., for the babies did not ask to come into this world.

It is easy to see where prejudism and hate are born in society. It is generated by it's own people when events take place that they do not agree with.

I sincerely believe that this woman is experiencing mental illness to do something like this. The physician should be ridiculed if anyone is. He is supposed to be of sound mind when treating or servicing people.

I also believe that everyone will face a rough spot in their life and do hope that when yours approaches, attitudes have changed. If they haven't you might be on your own.

NOT ON YOUR LIFE..... If I had the $$MONEY$$ I would give "SCADS" to the Texas SPCA...

i wouldnt donate money to nadya even if i was to wind up homeless living on the street with my husband and daughter. nadya knew she could get pregnant more than 1 time. she is only doing it for the money the handouts and tv shows. she is already ignoring her first 6 kids for these kids she has now. she cant even pay for them. the child protection services needs to step in and take them all away. she had facial reconstruction to look alot like angelina jolie. if u look up a pic of nadya before u would c how she didnt look like angelina jolie and bow she does in a way. i think nadya is a stalker on angelina jolie.

I would help her anyway I can.
I am a caring, giving, kind of person, who loves children and people.

I would like to think that these children would want to know that the world opened it arms, and accepted them in when they were born. I think the children would be hurt by removing them from their mother. All this negative talk about the mother has already echoed into the children s lives and future. Emotional abuse has already been done to these 14 children (by the public), including the 8 who have not yet made it to their home. Everyone knows the best way to hurt a kid is to talk bad about it's mother.

If our country can pay for illegal children to go to school, have health care, and food. It should be able to handle taking care of a mother and her 14 children who are US citizens.

I hear a lot about people's taxes (their tax money). She is a tax payer like the rest of us too! She pays taxes on every thing for her home, cars, money earned, she has paid / pays her taxes. She should be able to rely on tax money (like all US citizens) to help her in her time of need.

The only help this woman needs is psychiatric!!!!!

I think only way for saving the world from that woman is to ask her to sleep with me .Because I have done a vasectomy long back and do not have children after that. Her mother is already taking care of all of her children.I will take care of her .

Let the doctor who also made such a selfish choice pay!!!
He also needs to have his license away.
Wouldn't you think a doctor would ask a few questions regarding the future of his clients and what he causes?
That is SO bogus about her fellow students have to pay for ANYTHING this woman needs, such as daycare!!!!
She'll get plenty from the govt, which in turn is already from our paychecks!!!!

Helllllllllllllllllll No. I feel for all of those kids. I am sorry but I really think that she is unstable and won't care for those children properly.

i'd donate for the kids--not HER
i hope they are removed and put in proper places to be cared for like babies should be-all 14 of them!

Have nothing but sympathy for those kids, truly. They will be used as much as she can get away with it and probably get little in return except embarassment over this whole ridiculous issue. Nope, not a penny for the cause. She made a distinct choice and now she wants others to pay for it? Shame on her. I have six and we managed to do what was necessary without begging on the web!

You're kidding, right? I've been out of work over 2 years and this woman wants everyone to bail her out! I have a lot of compassion for people, but she chose this. I only feel sorry for the kids who truly deserve better. Sadly, we know the kids will suffer and so will the taxpayers who have to bail her out. But seriously, how long before she gets a book contract? She's already been on talk shows and taking advantage of it. She's using the kids to be a 'celebrity'! yuck!

If I were able to, I would help them out. My husband and I did in-vitro once and cannot afford to do it again. I pray for a financial miracle every day so we can have a baby. I actually don't blame this MOM, The Dr. never should have put so many embryos back. Hell my husband and I had to beg the Dr to put three back if we had them. He put two back, only one took and then I miscarried. But anyway, I blame society for what she got herself into. Look at the fame Jon and Kate+8 got, and the woman who has what is it, 17 or 18 children and plans on having more. And just about every woman who has more than 4 babies, they become celebrities. And they ALL get hand outs, and community help. Even the miracle triplets, when one embryo split three time... she gets diapers for free. She was given many gifts for producing such a miracle. No one saw this economy changing the way it did, and when she started her process to become pregnant, is when the market started its downfall. She shouldn't lose her babies. Hell as tax payers, we pay for druggies who have 5,6, 7 or 8 kids. Just to stay in the system. I am not opposed to this woman who aimed for fame, but got dumped on instead. I would rather support her, than the thousands of low life drug addicts that use the money for their own purpose. This woman also shows great affection with her children, it is not faked. She should get the help, so she can help herself. Reading what every one says. WOW, what a judgemental and cynical world we live in.

The only thing that girl needs is to get a job and quit trying
to live off of everyone else. If you can't feed em Don't breed em!!!!!!! Quit torturing your grand parents and move out. get your own place. Also, pay back what you owe to your grand parents. GET YOUR FALLOPIAN TUBES TIED!!!!!!!!!!!!!

She is no different than ALL the peoeple who got themselves into homes they could not afford... and those of us who are responsible peoeple,are paying for them... and ALL the credit card debt, because god forbid you couldn't have the shoes, TV or the car or home your best friend or your Brother has. Palease, almost half this nation is guilty of being irresponsible. AND it is taxpayers like myself bailing your sorry butts out of it. How dare you judge her!!!!! I would rather pay for those babies, than my neighbor who had to try and have a larger pool than me and make 1/4 of what I earn. I work hard for my money, and I spend it wisely. You judgemental people are that way because you know you are just as guilty and irresponsible.

NO! She purposely created this financial strain, now let her figure it out.

I would adopt a child or even the twins if she would be willing to give them up. I am serious, I own my own home and work very hard. My tubes were tied when I had my eight-year old and she would love a baby brother or sister.

Yet ANOTHER irresponsible, LAZY person looking for a free4e-ride so she can sit on her .... and "write a book"?!?!?!?! Please! It is people just like this who have weakened America from within - and put the state of California in the dire financial straits it's in. When most Americans can't even get a desperately-needed surgery or Medication, tax dollars were spent ON FERTILITY TREATMENTS for this woman. I have several friends who couldn't even get enough coverage to be treated for ONE CONCEPTION - where does this chick get off-sucking up the resourcces so that many other woman who desperately want A child cannot receive the funding. I'm sorry - I think rather than all of us WORKING AMERICANS supporting her in her craziness, Those children should be taken away and placed in loving homes where they can receive the care they will need. Preemies have SOOOO many health problems,, dev. delays, etc. I think it is CRIMINAL for her to have placed these poor babies in the situation where they will have to live out their life with disabilities. SHAME ON YOU, Nadya - and you PHYSICIAN should have his Medical license REVOKED!!!!

I would not help her although I feel very sorry for all 14 children, they did not ask to be born to this mess their mother has put them in. If she has the money for french nails and collagen for her lips, she should be able to support those children. I also think the doctor's license should be taken away from him, how irresponsible of him to insert so many embryos. I had gone through infertility treatment, was considering in vitro, my doctor said if I decided to do that he would put no more than 3 embryos. I had several inseminations, how ironic I would have been a great mom, I don't have any children and this woman who can't afford and was irresponsible enough to have 14 children. Life is strange.

Never would I give this woman a single cent! She is using these poor babies for financial gain. Instead of being at the hospital with them every waking moment, like I would be, she is busy giving interviews and fighting on tv with her own mother. It is disgusting and these babies should be taken away from her. All her children should be taken away from her.

Will I help her? Did I get her pregnant? Has she helped me with mine? That's why I only have 1 child--that's all as a single mother that I can afford. Perhaps, she should have thought about the outcome before jumping in.

The only help she needs is help to the looney bin. This lady has lost all her screws.

Kaiser Permanente (where the babies currently reside) should adopt these children out to loving couples who cannot only afford their care but give them independent, focused love, affection and quality educations. Suleman should be criminally charged for her gross negligence, child endangerment and further abuse.

Not only should her uterus be removed but her brain should be removed and studied.

Not only should her uterus be removed but her brain should be removed and studied.

Have you heard of the phrase..."oh H*** NO"? why should anybody help her when she has done nothing to help herself! And all this crap about oh we HAVE to think of the children..BULL..did SHE think of the other 6? doubt it; and this is just what she was hoping for..oh look how helpless they are won't you help...NOT THIS GAL...no one helped me, nor would I have asked anyone! Why on earth did she not DONATE the eggs to people who have no children and can afford to raise them? because she is a SELFISH, immature, space cadet that has lost touch with the real world!!

This woman has a lot of nerve soliciting money for diapers or anything else. It is ludicrous because it is apparent that she had enough money for BOTOX! It is nothing but irresponsible and where is DHS in all of this? I was a foster parent for thirty five years and willingly and lovingly took care of the children of these types of people and there are way more children than available homes and this is where she is headed. How sad!

I personally feel bad for the woman, everyone seems to be taking out their own personal frustrations on her like it's only her fault we're in these poor economic times, she's just one woman. These people that feel good about saying she should have her brain and other organs removed should be ashamed of themselves, she's a human too. Like you people haven't made poor decisions before.. like being rude to you're waitress...she's human too AND she handles your food think twice about it. Having said that it doesn't mean I have the money to help her I have my own baby on the way and my own problems to deal with.

Who in the world wants to support that woman? Her children need to be removed from ther care. I've never seen her with the children. Not sure how she has time for them if she's out getting attention from the media. Give me a break! I think the doctor should pay child support on each child, but I think the children should be put in the care of someone who really wants kids!

It would be just judgement for the doctor to pay child support and for the mother to have to go to work and pay foster parents or adoptive parents child support. DO NOT LET THAT WOMAN HAVE THOSE BABIES (ALL 14)!

I read on here that some think that others are being judgemental because Nadia only wanted to have one more baby. She has been on TV saying that she wanted all eight embryo's implanted because she considered them viable humans, so the only one baby theory is a load of crap.

She, most assuredly, has had plastic surgery to look like Angelina Jolie and then she gets implanted with eight babies. She's looking for fame. It's plain and simple. She's achieved it, only not as she probably expected. I wouldn't pay her a red cent for that.

I think the babies should be given to people who will love and care for them and raise them without the insanity of a mother who seeks only fame and fortune by continually birthing babies without means of realistic support.

BTW, Christi, what she did wasn't just a poor decision! The first four might have been. After that it was complete and total disregard for everyone else involved. She planned and expected the nation to come to her aid! What goes around comes around. Hopefully, the doctor will get what's coming to him as well.

I would not help these women financially, I have offered to help with two of her children, my husband and I can not have children and this women has or just had 8 babies!! She needs to realize she is taking away from this babies, by not putting some of them up for adoption. There is no way she has the time to spare for all these kids. The kids are the ones suffering. I feel so badly for them. I am not saying she doesnt love her children, because I do believe she does, this thing happened and I am a strong believer that things happen for a reason, but I do not think God was telling her to keep all of them, Maybe the reasoning behind all of this, is to also help others who can not have children of their own. These children need stablity and need full time effection,love, and thousands of other things, there is no way she can give that to these babies plus her 6 other children. If would be anything I could say to her, is to please let my husband and I have a few of your children. We do promise to love,cherish, and protect them. We do have the time to help, if you let us.. Thanks so much. my email address is californiakh@yahoo.com Keisha Heil

I think that the State of California, should take custody of these poor children. I can not believe any Dr. in their right mind would have allowed this procedure knowing that she already had 6 children. Now 14!! The woman is hoping for a hand out and the money she will make marketing these children. People like her disgust me!

Not no but hell no!!!!. I have watched this idiot mom from the start and she shouldn't be in charge of a pet let alone a child. She lives in never neverland and has no idea about children, costs, medical, life, a roof over their head and God Forbide, feeding them. These children should be taken away from her on the general prinicpal of being stupid. She herself has become a strain and burden to her own family. She thought she could support them with educational fund!!!! I have seen offers of help for a home, daily 24/7 helping care, housekeeping, childcare and this bimbo has said no because she thinks she can get more money from donations. She would have never done this to her 6 children if she knew what love and responsiblity was. This whole thing is so heart breaking, she should be beat with a whip. She got the money for the embroy implants, let her figure out the rest of how to do what is her responsilbity. She totally discusts me as to her selfishness and self centeredness and total stupidity. Talk about handicapped! Has anyone given this idiot an IQ test???!!!!

Oh, look, it gets even more better! I don't know if anyone saw this, but the same doctor (Dr. Michael Kamrava) who implanted Nadya Suleman now has another woman implanted at least seven embryos to another patient.

She was in her late 40s and wanted just one baby. She too, may be expecting quadruplets.

http://www.latimes.com/features/health/medicine/la-me-octuplets13-2009feb13,0,457763.story

Look out, CA taxpayers! It's just going to get more & more worse for you!

If you can't afford them, then don't have children!!

Never. She got herself into this situation, she can get herself out. Get a damn job, woman, stop expecting everyone one else to pay for children.

Not in a million zillion trillion years! This was self inflicted on to herself! Those babies should be adopted to 8 sets of parents who can afford to support them and has enough time and attention to nurture them.

I certainly hope as well that us Americans are smart enoght to know that any all movies, tv specials and anything media regarding octomom, family and babies should be boycotted. As you know if you watch any kind of reality TV show on her or movie etc you are ultimately paying to help her. Let us send a very clear message to the media and producers, that WE ARE Disgusted by her and the selfish irresponsible choice she has made. Any commercals that pay to be aired while her show, movie, interview, etc should be banned as well. (they are the ones paying her as well) Where do you think TV gets the money to pay reality personalities???

Please be aware.

I completely agree that the children should be adopted out to financially and emotionally sound parents. I also believe charges should be brought against the irresponsible doctors that have gone along with her obviously poor choices.

I think it's crazy that she had eight more children when she can't afford the six that she already had. Also, overpopulation is having a very negative effect on the environment. If she wanted more kids she could have become a foster mom if her state would let her. Who paid for the envitro fertilization anyway, a complete moron?

After all is said and done, Nadya may loose all of her children with all the round the clock media coverage. Those interviewing and filming in the home will create a melodramatic story making her out to be a crazy villian and the only mother to have a messy house. I don't feel she is mentally stable and finds this massive baby making as a way to get attention...and boy is she getting it. It seems logical to allow the children a chance and be adopted by stable(mental and financial) parent(s). I fear she may become completely exhausted (including the grandparents) and leave the children with no mother.
I have to chuckle when I hear and read the angry comments by mothers that condem the woman for asking for help. It seems that the trend where I live is a baby shower for every kid born. Those Moms have no problem asking for things and no problem showing little gratitude and have a shower for every kid. I seem to receive invitations, as a coworker of mine will broadcast, "Make sure you invite *****, she gives really good gifts." I attended my last baby shower when the gift of cash had a perplexing reaction from the mother and the secret digust glance to closer friends. I no longer purchase gift cards as the rules constantly change as they depreciate in value or the store closes. So perhaps the ecomony is not bad enough for some that cash is "tacky" despite it would pay for 2 cases of diapers at Target. Yet everyone has a quick stone to throw at this woman. Yes, I do think this large family is too much for one woman and the media will contribute to endangering all lives of the entire family (the Spears, Lohans, Hiltons are off the hook for now). Should their be a legal trust for the kids,(unfortunately, the lawyers would take their %), then I WOULD contribute, I will have a small amount set aside, as I intend to never contribute to babyshowers of double income families who have more things, bigger houses and feel my presence is for their benefit only. It amazes me they are the first to criticize while opening the gifts and checking the Target registry to see what they didn't get, LOL! Nadya may be referred to as selfish, but is determined to keep her family together, and I know Grandpa, Grandma would appreciate the boxes of diapers left at the step. I am not confident social workers, children protective groups will do a good job placing these kids or keeping track of them if they are taken away, there are cases all over the country bases on that problem. Sometimes volunteering time is worth more than money. We spend a crapload of tax dollars to save a family in another country that turns enemy in a blink, yet offer no support to one on this soil. What has been done has been done, get over it people and start thinking about how to be effective rather than contribute to the negativity of others. I am sure it has been the wake up call that will change laws and some medical doctor will be out of a job.

I find it rude that with the world being so overpopulated as it is, she has 14 children. It is irresponsible not only with the kids, but also with the planet. I think she should pay extra taxes for having so many kids.

It's a little late to be thinking about needing the money it takes to raise all these children. She should have thought about it before. She is definately a loser-user!

I would NOT give that woman a penny. Not even for her children, as she knew perfectly well, that taking care of the 6 she already had was tough enough & she couldn't do it on her own.

What gave her the privilege of even going invitro to attempt having "Just one", more as she put it ?
Were her current 6 living well ?

I feel for the grandmother, as she must find it diffficult to care for so many babies, for her daughter. Yet not abandon any of them.

I wouldn't blame the grandma if she had to stop taking care of those babies...She needs a little energy for herself, to enjoy her retirement years. Having grandchildren is one of the best times of your life..But in this case...it's torture for that poor woman.

Her daughter should be sterilized to prevent any more "mistakes" with invitro fertilzation. She shouldn't've been allowed to do it again, in the 1st place, since she already had 6 children.
That process & those like it, are for women who can't have children. She certainly could've had them on her own...Her eggs were just fine. And so was her Uterus. Apparently...they were MORE than fine.

What was her reason for getting invitro ? She says she was "infertile"? But was it only because she CHOSE to not have sex with the father of these kids ? And was that CHOICE, only to keep the real daddy out of paying child support, so we would ?

I think there's an awful lot of suspicious pre-planning that was done on this woman's part...to develop into this horror story.

She really MUST be sick, to try pulling this off. Her intelligence is surely twisted & was used to do the WRONG thing.

No handouts, is the way I see it. Not from me...Or anybody else. This is ALL her doing. And that doctor she hired. They should take on the expense of it all....

And don't get me started...on how I feel about that Gloria Allred. She's got to be nuts, herself !!

Shoot.....I think I'll go out & impregnate myself with a dozen kids, so I can get free services & a BIG Free house to live in...and maids, nurses, cooks, etc. to take care of me & my family.
Maybe even a huge swimming pool in my huge backyard. ( But for the kids, ya know )

I surely couldn't do it myself & would need help, too. What makes this woman's invitro, any more difficult from the outcome, than it is for anybody else ?

She just loves babies & wanted to have a bunch....So that makes all of this all right ?

Give me a break....I love babies too...But I'm not that stupid !!
Or should I say...SLY ???

Not only would I never give her a dime, I think every penny she is paid for all of these TV interviews she is doing should go immediately back to the taxpayers. She is a grifter. She lied to her mother and told her she had a tumor when she was pregnant this last time and the sperm donor said she told him she couldn't get pregnant due to ovarian cancer! She is a sick, selfish narcissist. She was on workers compenation for 10 years for a back injury yet she wasn't so disabled she couldn't carry 6 pregnancies to term? I have seen a photo of her STANDING and smiling with all 8 babies inside her. YEAH, SOME BACK PROBLEM.

There are thousands of women that suffer from infertility that don't milk the system to have their treatments paid for and my heart breaks for those that just want one child of their own. Those babies should be removed from her and adopted out.

Ok, so she had the money to pay for the procedure? Or do insurance companies pay for these services for anyone, let alone a family with 6 children already. What kind of careless medical professionals facilitated this atrocity on the other siblings? a single parent? society? the environment? SHE DID NOT GET PREGNANT ALONE!!! I say charge the IDIOT that got her pregnant, like usual! Doctors will learn to take medical historys and help the patient (not PAYING consumer) make sound, informed, medical (and life) decisions.

It's the children we are most concerned about right now! Perhaps she should have to account for any and all money given for the support of those children just like the banks are having to do now... Perhaps a separate trust fund that is handled by an attorney that has no connections to this woman.. just a thought.

I dont believe that her behavior needs to be judged. One of the major problems with this society is that most people do just that - sit around and judge - rather than attempt to come up with viable and intelligent solutions. There are a lot of single women that have one or two children that cant take care of them. Pick up a newspaper and there are 2 parent homes where children are abused and/or killed.... Stop tearing down and think of a way to build up.

I thought it cost a lot to undergo fertility treatment and do the invitro procedure...where did she get the money in the first place to do the procedure? No one has answered that question yet. Did she take food out of the mouths of her other children to undergo this procedure? If so, she and her so called Doctor have some very serious issues. Why would he do the procedure for free? Someone had to foot the bill. The whole thing is beyond "normal", and I just hope the children survive having a nutcase for a mother and I use that term lightly.

How terrible of her. I mean going to school to attempt to get a decent job and support your children. Villian! Taking taxpayer money, by living with her parents (obviously we all want to live at home as long as possible-regardless of whether we had dysfunctional families or not, right?), actually raising her children instead of dumping them on a perfect system of adoption and foster parents. Where coincidentally they would never cost the average taxpayer a cent. Greedy, and selfish of her.

In times of economic turmoil it is understandable that some people feel the need to lash out to vent some of their own issues, but really. This mom maybe made some choices that were not mainstream. Haven't many of us. She is a young mother, experiencing family difficulties, trying to raise her children. Does it feel better to focus on villifying her instead of dealing with the consequences of our own actions? Bravo! May these children never hear an evil word about them or their mother. They will definitely be in my prayers.

This is a tough one, only because it touches so many people in so many different ways. Personally, I think Nadya was irresponsible in carrying out all these pregnancies, not just the recent 8, knowing that she doesn't have a way to support and care for them properly. It's wonderful that she's trying to better herself with an education but, you'd have to be Bill Gates to support all these kids correctly. One of the saddest aspects of this whole thing is the burden that has been placed on her poor parents and her 14 children. They are the true victims in this as they did not ask to be placed in this position. I believe strongly that there is definitely something psychologically wrong with Nadya and that she needs help. She has made many poor decisions and sees nothing wrong with anything she's done. I'm sure she loves her children, however, at some point, that will simply not be enough.

In these times of economic crisis, turmoil and uncertainty it is understandable how people are beside themselves with worry, disappointment and rage over this woman's complete lack of responsibility and ignorance in her decision to bring 8 more children into this world considering she already had half a dozen waiting at home but, I just don't see the ranting, raving and terrible things being posted about her as either a positive thing or a solution to the problem. I personally cannot donate due to my own situation; I have 3 children of my own to support and that's enough believe me, but I do believe Nadya and those children do need help and assistance.

And for those who say "have the state take her children away", I ask you, is that really the best solution? Think about it, if those children are placed in foster care, they will undoubtedly be separated and that's NOT a good thing for any of them, especially the octoplets, and let's not forget that there are several children with dissabilities too. I know this situation is a tough one and there are no clear solutions, however, one must be found. I sincerely pray and hope that all 14 children will somehow come out of this OK, that the grandparents don't lose their home and that Nadya gets the psychological help she obviously needs. By the same token, I strongly believe that the doctor responsible for all this is investigated and fully prosecuted for misconduct and the grave miscarriage of ethics and common sense. Of course Nadya is responsible for her actions but, she may not be all there, this "doctor" however, doesn't have that excuse and he shouldn't be practicing any kind of medicine.

I understasnd the need but, there's just too much of this going around. Enough of the press coverage, etc. Personally, I'm tired of hearing about it and watching interview after interview with Nadya always saying the same thing and displaying the same denial over and over. The media needs to find a new prey.

I WOULD LOVE to help out those kids!!!! AFTER they are placed in homes with RESPONSIBLE parents.....(notice the plural). She needs a hysterectomy, a lobotomy, and a kick in the ass.......but NOT any of our money.

I would support octomom in any way I could. She may have been selfish and irresponsible in her plight to have children, but, they ARE HERE NOW... and to deny support to her is to deprive the children, all 14 of them. It is aggravating to ponder the process and the story, but the children are people who deserve to be cared for in the best possible way. I have 2 friends with 11 children and they receive assistance from the state and work and are raising those troops of kids with love and I think Nadya will do the same with a little help from her friends (we the people). Even had she not used artificial means to reproduce we'd be helping her in some way, so the real question is, will we do what we do out of love for the kids, or out of disdain for her means?

No way Jose and I totally agree with the woman that said the only dollar she would donate was to have that woman's uterus removed. I think the California government should sterilize her instead of rewarding someone who has obviously figured out how to play the system and get some recognition with supporting her gazillion children that she voluntarily had. I am in a position where if I want children I will have to have IVF performed and in now way shape or form do I expect my state's government to support any children that result from that. I think it's as stupid as people suing tobacco companies for getting cancer and fast food restaraunts for making them fat. Hello what in the heck did you think was going to happen? The world is going to h*ll in a handbasket! What ever happened to people taking responsibility and owning up to their own actions?!? Ugh it just aggravates me to death!!!!

I think these babies should be taken away from her and give to the many couples who can't have a baby.

I would never. She had a choice she made a choice a wrong one. Unfortunately we as California Tax payers will end up footing the bill in one way or another. So sad for all the children. She is totally in denial of what is to come. No amount of money in any form will make it ok. Reality will eventually set in.

While it is obvious that she made a terrible decision and lacks critical reasoning skills, I think the reaction to her is horrible. Yes, she has too many children to take care of them herself. Yes, she should not have done what she did. But the babies are here now and they need help. I do not get the impression that she is a 'bad' mother-only an unrealistic one. Death threats? Pulling out her uterus? People making these kinds of comments really think they are superior to Nadya???? PLEASE. Do not punish those children because their mom made a terrible mistake in judgement. I mean, really, what is it that people think she should or can do NOW? It is ridiculous to say that her children should be taken away from her. There are thousands of children who are actually abused who are kept in the family. Her basic crime was having more than she could afford. Lets see some of that religious fervor going to do the right thing and helping her out so this family can be a family. If those kids are taken away from her she will definitely have more to replace those.

While I would obviously not wish death on Nadya. I FIRMLY believe that her children should be taken away. She has NO visible means of support for this huge brood of children that she had for the sole purpose of "FILLING A VOID" (her words, not mine). We/the tax payers, are already footing the bill for her other children some of which have disabilities. More than one doctor has stated that more than one of the octuplets WILL have health issues just by virtue of being premes. These cost are compounded on the customary cost of raising children. MORE THAN THAT is the the fact that NONE OF HER KIDS WILL EVER FEEL SPECIAL AND REALLY TRULY LOVED because there are too many to allow any one child to feel special. Take the kids away and give them to families that can truly shower each and every one of them with the love and support that each and every child deserves.

I saw Dr. Phil, and the thing that puzzles me is where is the so-called father in all this? I would think he would have to contribute to the support of those children.....Its ridiculous he doesn't...

She needs to be institutionalized...and all "her" children turned over to the state...

I stand by what I said. It says much more about your character that you can speak of another human being in such a manner. Do you teach your children to call other people "disgusting pigs"?

Again I ask, do you think all children should be removed from people who can't afford them? What's the difference between paying welfare for 7 families with 2 children or one family with 14? Do you think that large families should be outlawed? Should we go to a system where mandatory abortions occur or mandatory steralization after you've reached your limit?

It's not this woman's fault that you can't have children of your own. It's not this woman's fault that CA can't balance its budget. It's not this woman's fault that the economy is poor right now. It's not this woman's fault you can't pay your bills or you lost your job or you can't adopt or whatever else makes this woman the target of all of your anger.

I am sick to my stomach with this woman. She is selfish and does nto care about anyone but her self. Her parents are loosing there home because of her. Do u honestly think it is right for what she has done? We can not take it out on the children but we sure the can to her. She is going to take full advantage of the system to pay for her doings. What about the women out there that can't have kids and they see her with 14 from fertility. I can just see that she wants to look like a movie star and pay for her to look better but yet she can not really take care or provide i should say for her kids. Her parents are doing it all and they are loosing it all for that selfish B**CH!!!! I hope those children get taken away from her and the give them to deserving familys!!!!! SHE MAKES ME SICK! And i hope she reads these postings!

She's way too far out there to care for all of those children!
I was a daycare owner of newborns to 5 year olds,and theres no way for her to care properly with out help and $$$$$$$$ help from the federal and state govts. that means we all will have to foot the bills for many years to come.
She should have done the right thing and made up her mind to help those who could not have children and have been on waiting lists for years and could care for them in style!!
What a self centered person who is a want a bee!

PB/ Florida

NO WAY IN HELL!!!! will we directly donate to her. I realize we all will foot the bill in the government subsidy she will be getting. it's time to get all those kids out from under her and into homes that CAN take care of their needs. Very likely they will not all be together but perhaps whoever gets the kids can arrange that they maintain some type of relationship as they grow up.

I had to use medical intervention in order to have our son but I will tell you that my reproductive specialist was VERY VERY responsible. a ream of paper alone in background info to verify that a child would be safe, welcome, and well cared for. The physician that implanted her was totally irresponsible knowing that she had 6 other children at home. If she had 1 or maybe 2 and had adaquate resources to have 1 more and was implanted with 2-3 embryos vs 6 I would not have such contempt for this idiot. WHO IN THE HELL WOULD ALLOW A SINGLE MOM WITH 6 CHILDREN HAVE MORE!!!!! I wish I had the resources to adopt a couple of these kids.

The fact is she has the children. She did not break the law. She may have problems, but she does not abuse her children. Her mother can share some of the blame for enabling her by letting her exist in never-never-land because she covered for her. All out of love... The children should not be separated if at all possible. She's not a mass murderer, but the opposite. There's so many reasons not to help, but there are fourteen reasons TO HELP. She's not the first to raise fourteen children, just the first to raise eight babies at once. If you watch any of the other TV programs that show people with eight children and another with 17 and still counting, you could see the appeal of a person that is not quite in touch with reality to have her own. There's simply no reason to HATE her, but for goodness sake, don't add such negativity to the birth of eight children. Maybe you wouldn't do it, maybe you wouldn't do two or three, but she didn't abort them and for that she deserves some credit. Take a look at those eight and tell me which one, two, three or four you would have killed. The mother may always be a "pollyanna", but there are worse things to be. She could be a mother of one and give her child cigarette burns or lock one in a room. For God's sake people where is your compassion? If not for the mother, then for the children. Do you seriously think foster care is a good substitute for a mother who loves her kids. Poverty is not a crime. You're going to pay if the State takes over. At least have a say when you donate.

I am so sick of the hypocrisy I have witnessed since this case began. The same people who are crying,"she should have her children taken from her," and "My tax money is being used to support her!" seem to be the same people who are "supposedly" pro-choice! Or are you only pro-choice if that choice involves killing babies instead of having them? Ladies, we scream "reproductive rights" all the time when it involves our right to have an abortion, yet we think this woman should be denied her reproductive rights to have as many children as she darn well pleases? We will allow our tax money to pay for her abortions but we scream when our tax money goes toward helping children be born? Yikes. How two-faced we have become.

No, but for the children I might donate food and clothing.Octomom turned down the offer of a house for her and her children, as well as Neonatal care for a year for her babies because she would not be able to have weekly press conferences and media coverage. She is not putting her children first, as mothers do. Her very selfish wants have come before the basic needs of all of her children.She wants millions of dollars for herself, but what of her unselfish mother who is losing her own home and caring for the older children? Not even a second thought.I have nothing against large families and have known many of them, but she is not creating a family, she is filling a void that is a black hole. Would you go see her as your counselor? How about her claim of being a 'child expert'?

you have to remember just because the mother made a poor choice to have several children doesnt mean you should punish the children, she will get all the karma she has due in raising so many children. I am not for or against this woman, I just know we need to get past all the slamming of the mother and ban together for the children.. Punishing this woman isnt the answer you are only punishing these babies. Placing these children isnt a option either the system is overloaded. This mother Loves all her children.
They will be neglected (not by choice) if people do not step up and help. Let's get over the we are better then her and step up to the plate, I see nothing wrong with donations, if a person wants to give then why not? the more help she gets the less burden on those who dont wish to help.

She was wrong, her doctor is just as much to blame he was just as responsible for this because he Allowed her to have so many eggs implanted. A doctor following normal routines would only allow 2 to 3 to be inserted, and hope for one to take hold. He needs his license revoked for not using his brain.

Dr Phil had a show where he had all the car seats this woman would need, I hope they will be donated to her. If not I have a car seat I'd donate my grandson grew out of and I bought him a bigger size, I'd be happy to donate his smaller clothes as well. we donate to good will or some people give to friends , why not give to her?

Personally I feel giving is a honorable thing to do and to know your helping these babies. to scorn I feel is spiteful and hurtful to these babies, THEY did nothing wrong.
Being hateful is just punishing the babies, do you really want that on your conscious? I think all the haters need to simmer down and let the kind people of the world do what they want.
Yes I would donate something, if every donated a little something the world would be a better place.
Random acts of kindness never hurt anyone. possibly paying it forward to another person in need.

just my opinion.

You are donating something, your tax money to pay for them from now until........ I heard she turned down the Angels group because of a possible reality show conflict. Whether you add to it or now is up to you, but your tax money, whether you are in California or not, will be supporting the family for years to come. It is beginning to look like this might be one of the reasons she is working the media - who will be the biggest bidder?

I think she is really trying to be a good mother
to all of her 14 children. But she is a single mother,
and that's a hard job with only one or two children.
I think it would be okay for people to donate
money, car seats, diapers, baby food, etc.
Helping others is a great thing to do if you can.
But Praying for her and her children is a greater
thing to do. I really believe that all of these babies
were suppose to be born, but probably just not
at the same time. In my opinion, her doctor should
be reprimanded in some way, because he knew her situation
and still helped her have 8 more babies.
I think taxpayers shouldn't argue too much.
I mean if you really think about it- how much of taxpayers
money goes places you don't know about.
In this case you know it will be helping a lot of
little children. I think Nadya should have waited
until she could provide for her 6 children sufficiently
before growing her family, but ultimately, it was
her decision. And sadly the consequences will be hers too.
Her children should not be taken away from her, because
your real mother is better than being placed in a
stranger's home. And I'm sure we've all heard the news
when a child has been placed in a foster home and
one of the parents does something *bad to the child.
I think she will have a big happy family once
all of the wrinkles get smoothed out. :)

I wish her and her children the best of luck in the
future and I hope they can always be together.

If you take all malice and emotion out of this there are clear facts that remain. She has no job and no home. This means she does not have the means to care for even one child. Had she succeeded in only having one more there is no job that she could get that would allow her to care for 8 children without assistance; much less 14.
She has put an increciable burden on her parents; with out them she would have absolutely nothing. She chose to rob these children of a father. People do very well as single parents all the time and good for them, but it's not something they choose. Two parents are not vital to life but the richness a father can bring to a child's life is incrediable. I think it's irresponsible to choose for your children to never have this opportunity.
She has 3 children with special needs, a full time job for anyone. She only wanted one more but she couldn't afford one more; she couldn't afford even one of the six she had.
She has a complete inability to grasp reality. She demonstrated a complete inability to make proper decisions for the well being of her children. This woman can not control her own mental state, much less provide for the mental, emotional, physical, and financial needs of these children. These children deserve a chance at life that includes being raised by someone who is stable enough, in all ways, to love and care for them.
I believe, with out malice, all her children should be removed from her. If she truely loved any of these kids she would not have made the decision to have any of them being that she has no means to provide a life for them.
I believe Nadya had these kids with the complete belief 'the system' would give her a free ride through life. She is a shining example of exactly what all public assistance programs should guard themselves against. She should have never been allowed to have even one child. What a disgusting failure of the fertility system. Her doctor should be stripped of his licence.
I pray for the best for these kids. Nadya needs help...but it's mental help, not financial. And these kids need all the help, love, and support we can give them. These kids will have their financial needs taken care of one way or another. My sadness is for the terrible emotional and mental neglect that I believe the kids will suffer if left to Nadya.
Truely, sane people need to stop trying to rationalize the behavior of insane people. They're insane! You can support someone without condoning atrocious behavior. Things need to be stated as they are and now someone needs to step up and do the right thing. Nadya simply does not have the capacity to deal with the situation she's been allowed to create and it's just devastating.

This is the letter I wrote on Dr Phils site...
He blocked my letter. I stated that I would have to boycott so I guess it is fair, I have not watched his programming since. ...OH WELL, I have an opinion and it SHOULD count. I would (& will)NEVER-never-never contribute to anything that will gain one red cent to that "LITTER-BOX". SHE HAS A LITTER OF 8 INNOCENTS PLANTED IN HER BELLY, AND CANNOT AFFORD TO FEED THEM? She belongs in PRISON!!!

Dr phils site
Sorry Dr. Phil, I am BOYCOTTING ANYTHING WHICH MAY ADD TO any type of entertainment or money to this woman who has the $ to have plastic surgery to make her FEEL good about herself, she can afford to have her nails sculptured, dye her hair (WHILE PREGNANT), dress expensive, and paid for 8 babies to be popped INTO her oven, actually 14. Then she wants and accepts her choices to be everyone else’s responsibility. She is taking advantage of EVERYONE! She is a money grubbing SLIME. A spoiled brat. She should be put in prison for scamming us all, tearing at our heartstrings, taking advantage of the Government. Don’t you think there CAN BE SOMETHING TO FIND HER GUILTY OF? First and foremost, before she even gets one penny or welfare OR ROYALTIES, her money should put on hold to pay for HER RESPONSIBILITIES today, yesterday, and then the future medical and educational and special services that she and her children will require.
Our Taxpayers are paying for her to be able to survive as well as her children with food stamps Medical, Whatever.
{[Court records show Suleman filed for bankruptcy last March, but after she failed to make required payments and appear at a creditors' meeting, the case was dismissed. She reported liabilities of $981,371, mostly money owed on two houses she owns in Whittier, California. Lets see, this was shortly before being impregnated , out of her own pocket BOY-O-BOY, she knows JUST how to work the system}]
{More than $1 million in medical bills for Suleman's babies while the state issues IOUs instead of tax refunds.} And THAT figure is just the last month and does NOT INCLUDE what she and her OTHER 7 children have cost the Taxpayers.
There are disabled AMERICANS, who get little to no help in California. The State would rather see DISABLED AMERICANS die than to GIVE THEM anything. They have to fight tooth and nail for medications as if a junkie, that must be used to help control their pain. This is the THANKS given for being a responsible working person. Our country is NOT taking care of its own but is over abundant in giving for ENTERTAINMENTS sake. There will be books, movies etc. MONEY MONEY MONEY. This is what our beautiful country has come to!
Some one write a book about MY STRIFE! Give security the people who have counted in this country instead of giving MORE to a SELF SERVING MONSTER, who has ALL of her priorities wrong.
How CRUEL for her children, and SHAME on the GREEDY!!!
AND AGAIN, (((She reported liabilities of $981,371, BANKRUPTCY )))!

I would not donate anything to her.She should have had better since to bring all them precious babies into the world knowing she could not take care of them.I am 33 years old and I cannot have kids and here she is with 14.I think she was only doing that to get money and whatever she could to use the goverment.God bless the children.They are only in for trouble.She knew what she was doing when she had the 8 babies.She should have stopped with the first 6 she already had.

There are so many people who want but cannot have children in the world whose hearts must be torn apart at every mention of this horrible woman. If she truly cared for these children, she would let other families take better care of them than she will be able to on her own. I have nothing against single parents (my own mother was one), but she's an extraordinary case. It's amazing that the state hasn't found a reason to take her children away from her already. Why did she want so many children? Because she "loves" babies? She loves the attention she gets when she has a baby and that's all.

I do and don't feel sorry for Octomom...why, well because for one she didn't intend on having all of those precious babies but now that they are here, she's loving them like a mother should, not considering adoptions or none of that. However, this woman comes on tv talking about inner demons and crap like that! I mean...what kind of example is she setting for those babies of hers! I mean, I wouln't be surprised if all of them saved up the little money they do have and catch a cab to anywhere but around her. Honestly, no heart feeling octomom but you need to step your game up mama! Get a job, stop acting crazy and do for your babies. Forget about what the media has to say about you! Handle yours indefinatly!!!

H to the N! She's doin better than most of me; she gets her nails done, hair extensions, mani's & pedi's, Nintendo Wii's PLUS cusses her Mom out! Answers a Dr Phil question after he asks it a half dozen times. Buy a half million dollar home! Hires nannies! Analyzes her poor older children! Strikes a pose for the cameras. Nope, she needs to be donating to ME!

Everybody please go to the state of California website and file a complaint against her for WELFARE FRAUD, DISABILITY FRAUD AND STUDENT LOAN FRAUD. You do NOT have to live in Ca. to file a complaint.

I think the government should go ahead and find homes for the babies while they are this young. Plenty are wanting newbornes.They should force her to have a historectomy.However you spell it. Hope the doctor that helped her faces a large fine also.She is a disgrace. The babies need lots of love and I doubt if she is capable.
