Why couldn't Octo-Mom have done this?
I copied this from Grace's post in the thread about stem cell research. If Octo-Mom only wanted one more child, why could she not have had two - or even three - embryos implanted and share the others with someone else who wants children?

That couple had twins, also, and then the two women passed the remaining ones on to a couple in California. This last couple also had twins.
Interesting that Allred had to dangle child welfare in front of Suleman to get her to accept help from Angels in Waiting. Doubly interesting that dad is buying a house for them. This whole situation makes me so mad I could scream. Dr. Phil and everyone else should just leave her alone and let her fend for herself.
Putting all this behind us
Well, the Octomom and kids are here to stay.
I don't care if she "makes money" by selling the kiddie photos throughout their lives. She won't be able to support them by going to college and earning her degree in Social Work or whatever it was she said she was trying to finish, I think between the income from publicity, welfare if she / they are entitled and then payments and support from her parents, she and her kiddies may survive this mess.
If I never saw her again, it would be too soon. I think she is a nut case, but that doesn't change matters any at this point.
I did notice that she has "undone" those nasty long, fake nails and has more natural looking nails, for whatever that's worth. Now if she could just get rid of those nasty fake lips.
I wish her all the best. I know it will be next to impossible for her or anyone else to rear these children alone. She needs help and seems to be able to accept help at this point.
I guess she will be in our lives, for the rest of our lives. I hope she does good things for her children and spends her/their money wisely. Can you say "Trust Fund"? I hope someone has enough sense to put aside money for the children's education and special needs.
Maybe Angelina will leave Brad, and we could hitch Nadya up with him, making the picture complete for Octomom.
Whatever.
:rolleyes:
