Nadya Suleman Is Octuplets Mother

Nadya Suleman is the second woman in the US to give birth to octuplets. The babies were all born on January 26, in California. And in the shocker of the week, The Sun reported that she works at a fertility clinic. Not only that, but she also reportedly has six other children, including a set of twins, and is a single mom! Of the eight newborns, six are girls and two are boys. What’s she going to do on “take your daughter to work” day, rent a school bus? All of the babies appear to be doing well, even though they were born prematurely by roughly two months.

Tanya Aldecoa, who lives around the corner from the home of octuplets mother, Nadya Suleman, said she hadn't seen her out with her children for a couple of months, likely because of the pregnancy, but she was always pleasant as she strolled the neighborhood with her children.

More details are emerging about a local woman who gave birth earlier this week to eight babies. Neighbors say she was a young, pretty woman who used to walk through the neighborhood pulling a wagon with some of her older children, but kept mostly to herself.


At the Suleman home Friday, an older woman who came out to greet a child arriving home from school told reporters Nadya would "come home when she's ready."

Suleman released a statement yesterday that said the babies "continue to grow strong every day and make good progress," adding that she and her family were "ecstatic" about the births. Suleman reportedly has six older children, including one set of twins.

The woman allegedly lives at home with her parents, and there is no information about the father. Also, in news that may not bode well for the children, someone in the Suleman household filed for bankruptcy last year, and even abandoned a house.

Apparently Suleman only expected seven children, but the eighth came through a cesarean delivery. The mother herself has yet to speak to the public, but in statement given through the medical center she said:

“Please know, in our own time, we will share additional details about this miraculous experience. The babies continue to grow strong every day and make good progress. My family and I are ecstatic about all of their arrivals. Needless to say the eighth was a surprise to us all, but a blessing as well.”

I hope the babies continue to do well, and that the mother handles all 14 of her children with care. Only a few more and she could tie the Duggars.
