Sorry everybody. I didn't notice that the topic was already being covered. Karen PM'd me to let me know that she was merging.
I was only looking for the word "Octuplets" in the title and I missed it.

Anyway......I was reading this story earlier. I went to the website for the Whittier newspaper. I can't believe this woman had 6 children and wanted IV for "just one more child". I can understand that it would be hard to make a decision to abort to reduce the quantity of eggs. What I don't understand, why did a woman with 6 children need more children at all?

I was a single mother so that isn't a question in my mind. I am a huge supporter of single momhood. That's not really the point. However, husband or no husband, she's going to need alot of help.

How does she expect to care for these children? Did she think about who would pay to raise them? Raising 14 children is going to be difficult for her. Her father is willing to take care of them financially with his salary from his job in Iraq. Her mother says she's always been obsessed with having children. Ay yi yi!!

I really don't know what to say about this. It's mind boggling.
