Your a hater. There were 8 beautiful children that were born. There's no telling what wonders they will contribute to this world

Suleman is a liar and mentally deranged. Nobody likes her because it was very irresponsible and sick to have a litter of children and she has repeatedly lied. California needs to go after her and the IVF doctor because this should not be allowed to happen. It is harmful to the children and society.

It is irresponsible of her to add more children to her family...but I do believe that all children are a blessing so she'll just have to get through this...but it is unfair of her to continue having children for her selfish hopes of fame and fortune by "pimping" her children's story to the media...there's no way I would watch a show if she was on it because she is clearly mentally unstable.

People should just mind their own business. She is who she is and does what she wants to do.

I say shame on this Mother and the IVF Doctor, First the mother already had 6 children she could not support, (That's right America our tax dollars have been paying her way!)
Now she has 8 new babies that will have to be paid for, and we know she has no income! America's taxpayers will be paying out more money for her bad decision! Welfare is for people who find themselves in sitituations where they need temporary help! Not a lifestyle! This mother needs to find a way to support these children on her own, America did not ask or want her to make this bad decision. Maybe the Doctor should be made to help support them? I will not support any shows with her on them, I will not donate 1 dollar to her, (she gets part of my tax money each month). I can't help but feel that this was just a sick way for her to get attention! and a quick way to make a buck! I dought that most of the money she does recieve will actually go to the children. Unfortunatly the beautifully blessed children will be the ones to suffer, they didn't ask for any of this and they don't deserve all the negitive attentiona around them. I wish these children nothing but the best for them in the future! I hope this is a wake up call to America that it is time to make laws to protect our children from these kinds of situations. I agree with the earlier comment , the doctor who preformed the invetro should go to prison for his actions.

I honestly just do not care either way. The only ones making this woman remotely profitable is the press that is damning her. You can't straddle the fence, either you like her and you want her over your product or you hate her, inwhich case you shouldn't even utter her name, nevermind running a mind-numbing news story on her.

Use the energy you put into judging others into fixing your own life.

I truly believe that since it is the government that is paying for these children, the government should be allowed to step in and take these children away from their selfish, disgusting mother and place them in 8 homes where there are loving parents who can actually take care of the children and give them a decent life. They have no hope of amounting to anything but human garbage with that pathetic excuse they have for a mother. She needs to be committed, and her children given to homes where those poor dears have a chance. She did this only for the media attention, and she's getting that, but she needs to get what she deserves: the children taken away and given to decent people who really want them.

Mind our own business? Who will be footing the bill for her fourteen children? Certainly not her. How did a single mom with no income afford IVF in the first place? She is shallow and self serving. Those grandparents will be raising those children and they didn't ask for such a huge responsibility. Hopefully they will not grow up to be a drain on society like their deranged mother. No doubt that plastic mom will try to parlay her "fame" onto reality shows and the like.

Why is it when someone wants something that is out of the "norm", the person is called deranged? Do you have access to her medical files? Do you know she is certifiably mentally ill, or is the idea of wanting more than two kids just SEEM crazy to you. Whatever her motives, these children are here and deserve as much love and respect as any other child born. Although I may not desire her life, I believe these children do not need to read the horrible things being said about them and their mother. Anonymous above said "They have no hope of amounting to anything but human garbage with that pathetic excuse they have for a mother." What constitutes 'human garbage"? I believe every child has worth, not just those lucky enough to be born to a couple of yuppies. I'm sure the $400 a month she gets for food stamps will break the bank of all those Californians...bah humbug!

I am a single parent and a mother of two children.One of my children is autistic and coping with so much difficulties financially,physically and mentally.How could Suleman handle 14 kids with two others have special needs?

hey guys! just be a kindhearted person...just think about this,,,having 8 babies is not easy to raise, or i shall say 14 children, she needs financial support, needs to find a way to support her children.that's the only way she can think of right now...dont judge her, u dont know her that much!

OMG...you people are making such a big deal over this!!! its nobodys business!!! if she wants to pop out 100 kids thats on her, everybody is so quick to judge like if thier lives are so perfect... well guess what everyone makes mistakes... what do you want her to do?? give up her kids? theres nothing that can be done now. People are even threatning her life!?!?! come on, its stupidity. And yes taxpayers are paying to raise her kids and millions of others too. The government gets cheated by people everyday who claim to need welfare, and foodstamps, wic, disabilities and on and on, and guess what we all pay for that too.

I think it becomes anyone's business when you decide to allow media coverage, you open the door for all types of criticism. She was obsessed with having babies, but never knew how she would support them all. That to me is just an immature irresponsible decision. She is living in her own fantasy world thinkin LOVE is enough to raise all these children! Love is the greatest thing you could give your child but we know that it doesn't feed, house or clothe them. Guess she's expectin everyone else to do that!! I saw her interview on TV and she jus seems so carefree, no worries! its Scary! She said she will support them! She plans on goin back to school then the job she "will" get should be enough....but what happens Until then (her job that is) ? She doesn't even consider food stamps as being on welfare...Do you kno how much money she gets for each child with a disability? about $700 a month.Sry but I def think there was a plan and an agreement between her and the dr who did the procedure. It was a new procedure she tried! Oh and how could she be allowed to use student loan money to pay for these procedures, I don't get it. I do feel bad for the children and pray for thier health..No child asks to be brought into this world so they should not be ridiculed for thier mothers bad choices!

I think most of you people r missing or misunderstanding the hate and anger of this situation she had 6 kids already no income now she has 14 NO INCOME!! SIMPLE she's a bum looking for attention and a hand out, so what she's GETTING her master's she doesn't have it yet and a job but has kids 14 to be exact that need support..WHO DOES THAT!!!!....I guess it's okay for 2,500 more selfish, unwed, unemployed females to pump out babies becos there lonely awwww poor you here's my money to help your kids yours ARE MUCH more important than mine yeah right,those poor beautiful babies r here now but THE POINT IS who going to support them and give them a stable happy home. She never did nething for america for america to owe her a thing she should lose sleep and collect cans for all i care...THIS ISN'T HATING THIS IS COMMON REACTION FOR A STUPID ACT FROM MOTHERS WHO WORK HARD AND PAVE OUR WAYS, SAD THE OUTCOME JUST HAPPENED TO BE CHILDERN,IT WASN'T A MISTAKE OR GOD'S BLESSING SHE DID IT TO HERSELF...so for all who think it's so much hate or leave her alone (boo-hoo) get her address and write her a check each month hell go babysit... forget your life and worry about her's maybe your collecting from our hardworking paycheck also....i feel sorry for her mom and dad and those poor babies period!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Everything in moderation! This would be a great lesson for her and all to live by.

this woman is selfish. im a single mother of twins and im telling ya-i can barely keep up with two! how is she supposed to keep up with fourteen?!!! none of those children are ever going to get the love and support, not to mention the one on one time with her that they deserve. there just is not enough time in the day! what is she going to do when she is home by herself with all those children and one of the older ones starts choking on a peice of food? or god forbid falls down and breaks something? shes going to be feeding one of the new babies, and not be able to do anything cuz she still has seven more to feed, or the seven more to be fed are going to go hungry for a little while. its disgusting! her older children are going to be forced to grow up way too soon just so they can help mommy raise the younger ones. so she can have the help. the state of california should strip that idiot doctor of his licsence to practice. how does he justify this to himself? it makes me sick.

You know what guys...i hate the fact that our tax money is paying for her mental illness...yet on another thought, our tax money is going across the globe to support Israel in killing the poor palestinians (god knows why we have to care or pay for this), so at least in Nadia's case the money is going to an American not a stranger!

MediCal pay for Nadia or her look alikes, as the our tax money is going to garbage anyways!

I DONT THINK ITS NO ONES BUISNESS to HOW MANY KIDS THIS WOMEN DESIDES TO HAVE IN HER LIFE AND PERSONALLY SHE IS NOT THE FIRST WOMEN ON THE EARTH TO HAVE THIS MANY KIDS AT ONCE YOU HERE ABOUT THIS CRAP ALL THE TIME AND NO ONE HAS BLOWN IT OUT PROPORTION UNTIL NOW?? WHAT ABOUT THE F... SHOW JHON AND KATE PLUS EIGHT THEY HAD 2 KIDS AT HOME AND HAD THE SAME SHIT DONE TO THEM AND I DONT SEE NO ONE GOING OFF ON THAT BROD IS IT CUZ MAY BE SHE IS MEXICAN AND NOT WHITE LIKE KATE?? I REALLY BELIEVE TIHIS DRAMA ALL HAS TO DO WITH DISCRIMINATION AND WERE YOU FALL IN SOCIETY SHE POOR SO SHE GETS TREATED LIKE A MINORITY AND THATS ALL THERE IS TOO IT WHAT ABOUT THE WOMEN WITH 17 KIDS WHAT IS UP WITH HER SHIT I DONT SEE NOONE TROWING STONES AT HER AND MAY I ADD SHE HAS ONE ONE ON THE WAY WAT THE HECK CAN THIS WORLD BE REALLY THAT MUCH OF HYPACRIT AND NOT SEE THIS HAS BEEN HAPPING SINCE GOD KNOWS WHEN AND WE ARE ACTING LIKE OH MY GOSH I THINK EVERYBODY WHO IS TROWING STONES NEEDS TO GET A FUCKEN LIFE AND WORRY ABOUT THEIR OWN PROBLEMS AND IF THIS WOMEN NEEDS HELP WHY NOT GIVE IT TO HER IM SURE JHON AND KATE RECIEVED THE SAME HELP AND STILL RECIEVING THIS WORLD IS WACK!!

Why do we have to wish for the demise of others? She made a choice and last time I checked everyone is free to do that. Personally I think we should be worrying about "deranged" women who kill their babies (ie abortion). Just a thought.

This is the first time I've visited this site (I saw it advertised on the Today show) and I thought it was a way for mother's to band together and help each other with their parenting problems but I guess it's a selective group. Too many kids? Too poor to support your kids? A little different than everyone else? Prepare to be bashed by momtourage. Definitely not what I expected from this site.

Enough of this hateful attacking!

This is a woman who wanted kids for whatever personal reasons, NOT for fame or the 'luxuries of welfare'. Singling her out is ridiculous when there are millions of families taking public funds who are hiding assets. Shame on you for your stinginess when this family is always going to have it rough, these kids are never going to know what NEW clothes are like, or what going on vacation is like, or even going out to a nice restaurant.
How dare you attack this family for accepting free diapers? Even these will run out long before they're not needed anymore.

Maybe she has mental issues, but that just mean she's human. Like You. Like Me.
But she was sane enough to see she needed a PR firm to run interference between her family and the media hounds.

Don't lump me and the millions of moms like me in with the 'WE DON'T LIKE HER'.
Because I do like her. I like the fact that she wasn't ashamed to say she needed to be loved and to give love. That she wasn't ashamed to say she wanted children to share this love with. That she was brave enough to say that her childhood was devoid of the warmth and compassion she feels within her.
I like her because she had the self-respect to avoid the meaningless, soulless sex that women settle for in order to have children. Or worse yet, to find a man to give their love to.
I like her because she did it her way, even though it was the hard way. No one seems to remember that it wasn't either the doctor's nor her intent for this pregnancy to be SO successful, it was extremely unusual for this to happen. But it was her last shot and they agreed to implant the last of her eggs. If we were a more compassionate society, perhaps we'd see it as a blessing; perhaps we'd see that she was MEANT to have all of these children, that perhaps she is one of the rare women who truly are meant to be that perfect Mom, with enough love to go around to all of her children.
I say let our taxes subsidize True-Mom-Love over War anyday.

Its really no ones biz. The government shouldnt be able to break up familites because of financial problems, to reference another comment. How would you feelif the state said you mane $20,000 a year? I have a rich white couple wants a kid, Im taking yours. Its horrible to break up families.

But to mention the Gosselins is unfair. They had twins and wanted one more. They had 6 by a freak accident. They didnt have a bunch of kids to make money, and they didnt expect it.

The Duggars support themselves too, its not our business if they believe in procreation.

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

If I thought she would actually use the money to care for her children I would consider sending her a check. But since she thought it was ethical and acceptable to use her student loan money to pay for IVF and for child care, etc., then I'm not sure that I could feed confident she would use the money for those babies or her older children. How do you think she's paying for that PR firm since she's unemployed, has some $50k in school loans, and a hospital bill totaling well over $1M?...I'm thinking from either school loan money she squirreled away (which I doubt since she's squandering it on fancy manicures and cosmetic procedures), or the money she gets from the state to help support her autistic child, or welfare checks, or any residual disability checks she may be getting from that back injury that kept her from working but not from carrying SEVERAL pregnancies (the back injury happened several years ago).
If she's unable to care for her children; unable to provide a roof over their heads; unable to get them the medical care the octuplets are going to need for a very long time (preemies have a lot of health & development problems); unable to feed them (even store-brand formula costs $20 for the jumbo can); unable to provide care for her older children because she's completely immersed in caring for the 8 babies, the state can, and will, take the children from her for being an unfit mother. It happens all the time to other unfit parents all over the country. If she had half a brain in her head, she would offer those babies up for adoption now, instead of putting them through the whole foster-care system later in life.

It's really hateful how people are so quick to villify the mom, but leave the doctor relatively unscathed. If she was told that they wanted to implant 8, to give her a better chance at 1, then it's the doctor's fault.

Once the embryos were implanted, and then they find that all are viable, should she have aborted? I think that many would find that unconscionable.

The fact is -- she did not implant those embryos herself. She also didn't harvest the eggs herself, run the cultures herself, give herself the hormones or any other part of it. What she did was to consent to the guidance of her doctor -- someone who should have shown enough professional ethics to follow the standard procedure for a woman her age: two or three embryos. Even if she had wanted more, it was -his- responsibility to act in a medically appropriate way. This includes a careful consideration as to whether someone with her history was mentally stable enough to have any more children.

What this doctor did was wrong, and while the mom is definitely complicit, it's important to place the censure where it belongs. Without this doctor's unethical treatment, Ms. Suleman would not have had any more children than what she did a year ago. Let the state sue the doctor for the cost to the taxpayer, and drop the "freak", "octomom", "octob!tch" and all the hateful comments -- she's clearly ill, so it's disgusting, horrid and tacky to make such remarks. Shame on you.

Who ever wrote this story makes me sick. I don't like what the "octomom" did, but her choices don't matter any more, whats done is done. Now there are eight newborn babies that really should be what everyone is focusing on. DO you know who should be paying for these children, every writer, newspaper and magazine who have gone out of their way to reap a profit by wiriting horrible things about this woman, including you Ylonda Caviiness. You fall into the category of scum, who seek to gain popularity, prestige and wealth by inflicting injury upon the short comings of others. I truly feel sorry for you, so low that you would join the monsters who pick on a woman who is clearly already suffering. I hope you never have to understand the suffering this woman, who has spent years as a mother- THE HARDEST DAMN JOB THERE IS- has had to endure since bringing eight new children, all of who are high risk to this world. SHAME ON YOU, YOU ARE NOT A MOTHER IF YOU WOULD DARE PICK ON ANY OTHER WOMAN WHO DESPITE HER POOR DECISIONS IS IN THE MIDDLE OF WHAT THIS WOMAN IS GOING THROUGH. God forgive you. I thought that I was having a bad day but I feel a lot better now knowing that I am not the author of this article.

Those babies should be financially supported by the doctors who did her IVF. See how long they bask in that glow.

I will mind my business when she minds her own business, every single person in America that pays taxes will end up paying the 3-5 million dollar hospital bill (Medi-Cal is funded 3-1 by Federal tax dollars).

If I decided I wanted 3 million dollars and walked into the Federal Reserve and took it without asking, I would spend many years in prison, this woman is robbing all of us, every extra dime she gets should be taken away until we the taxpayers are reimbursed for what she - without permission - has stolen from us.

The doctor should have his licensed suspended by the State!

Just because "I" want something, whether it is children, or anything else, putting the responsibility to pay for it on everyone else is not rational, and is not sane.

Wow - isn't it funny? When I went to adopt some homeless boys I found living in a box in an alleyway, I went through hell and a ton of paperwork just to make the child welfare realize that I have the resources and maturity to handle five boys. I had a six figure income and a big empty house.
By the way - all five boys grew up to be fine, upstanding citizens who have college degrees and hold down good paying jobs.
I feel sorry for the children in this case. What will they learn by the example their mother has set?

For the most part, I don't believe that anyone intends to be mean about this family...but let's remember that your freedom ends where my begins. And she has violated many peoples freedoms by not having her own financial plan in place for her life. I tend to agree with the thought that the doc should have to support her now. And . . . for all those who are upset with others who are upset, go ahead and donate to her. Move, live next door and take care of her yourselves. Just because there are millions already taking advantage of tax payers' money doesn't mean any of us wish to sit back and take it without objection. No one that I know likes to be used and taken advantage of. There is always a straw that breaks the camels back. This may have been it.

marty says: you fellas are right that its her damm business to pop out 100 kids not ours, that is if she had done it at her own expense and not relied on welfare assistance, none of us had the right to make a single comment. All her shenanigans were deliberately crafted for money making which is american citizens' money. the welfare money is something that everyone must get a chance to use in desperate situations but not in situation like hers which she inflicted herself on The goverment should put the kids for adoption. suleman is nothing but a notorious wheeler-dealer. the welfare support is not the only thing that matter in this issue. she's psychologically unstable to rear 14 kids. the kids are just gonna end up abused and manipulated for money making scheme. lastly her doctor should be barred from medical practice of any sort.

It is funny how people always have so much to say about other people while they conveniently forget their own skeletons. We make such a big deal about tax payers "footing the bill" for that woman and her kids. Let me ask this. Is anybody going to see a tax increase on account of this? Certainly not. We already pay crazy taxes which is wasted on counter productive activities like unnecassary wars resulting in horrific losses of human life-innocent lives mostly. We should not complain if tax dollars are used to offset the cost of supporting life for a change; whether we approve or disapprove of the methods under which the lives began. It is written " judge not lest ye be judged."

I deffinately don't think she is stupid. She knows exactly what she is doing to manipulate every system and every person possible. She is going to get everything she ever wanted...at everyone else's expense! I believe the Dr. needs to take a big chunk of responsibility as well. He knew her circumstances and decided to go ahead with the proceedure, he should have to pay child support for every one of those children. He should also have his liscense Revoked! Nadia is using her 'story' to make everybody feel sorry for her and support her children so she can continue not to work. We the public/Government cannot leave these children with nothing, it's not fair to them even though their mother is using them for her own personal happiness. She couldn't even take care of the children she already had (financially), WHY would she try to create even more precious children (other than the obvious reason to get people to give her more money and FREE help). Please take these children and give them the life they deserve. She needs to stop taking advantage of her mother as well. GET A JOB!

I don't pretend to know enough about Nadya Suleman to judge her, although I find it extremely irresponsible for her to have 14 children through IVF. Even if she is a great mother, there's just no way someone can manage 14 children ages 7 and under at once especially when eight of them are babies and when Ms. Suleman has no husband and no job. She has brought so many children into this world that she cannot possibly give each of them the attention and care that they deserve.

Would love to be able to "mind my own business" but somehow I keep getting the bill for all these wackos.

Governor Arnold should be furious...where would the state get the money for hospital bill? They're almost bankrupt...going back to California? She should stay where she is and stop bother people around her. Stupid people overpopulate the earth!!!

Personally, I think she is a few bricks shy of a load. I just hope the children have a healthy life and don't end up crazy like her. It will not be an easy life for them.

Nadya Suleman is a first rate conwoman, who uses whatever she has to, to benfit. And all the people who are falling for it. are not normal either, that includes Dr. Phil.

this womanis srazy to her if we the taxpapers are in for those poor kids of hers but then you have other the family with 17 kids and counting by one man alone his having it hard also. I hope she takes in consideration of getting a her tubes removed beacuse its unfair to the whole world that we have to pay for her misguides of parenting.
