Octuplet mom fears hospital may not release babies

1 hour, 33 minutes ago

By The Associated Press

LOS ANGELES - Nadya Suleman apparently has bigger worries than taking care of her 14 children.

A TV talk show host says she told him that she fears the hospital may not release her newborn octuplets to her. Dr. Phil McGraw says the 33-year-old unemployed mother called him Tuesday, distraught that Kaiser Permanente officials told her they were concerned about the babies living at her home in suburban Los Angeles.

Suleman has taped two episodes of McGraw's "Dr. Phil" show. The first was scheduled to air Wednesday.

Suleman gave birth to the octuplets Jan. 26 in Kaiser's hospital in nearby Bellflower.

She has six other children, lives in her mother's three-bedroom home in Whittier and relies on government food aid and disability income to provide for them.

The home is under threat of foreclosure and could be sold at auction beginning May 5 because Suleman's mother is $23,225 behind in her mortgage payments, property records show.

Kaiser officials declined to comment on Suleman's case.

"Any conversations that the mother may or may not have had on this topic are private and we could not discuss them," said Kaiser spokesman Jim Anderson.

Social workers evaluate parents of very premature babies to determine what services the children and family may be entitled to, said Vicky Bermudez, a neonatal intensive care unit nurse at the Kaiser hospital in Roseville.

The octuplets were born nine weeks premature.

"If they feel there's a risk to a baby, they contact Child Protective Services and Child Protective Services would make a determination as to whether or not there's a reason for concern," Bermudez said.

A call to the Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services was not returned Tuesday night.

Suleman has not responded to repeated interview requests from The Associated Press. Her phone has been disconnected and she no longer has a publicist.

Octomom Nadya Suleman nixes porn offer – for her 14 kids’ sake
By Inside Track
Friday, February 27, 2009 - Added 2h ago

Need a dose of good news?

Octomom Nadya Suleman has turned down $1 million and health insurance for her burgeoning brood to star in porno flicks - for now.

As we told you yesterday, Vivid Entertainment, the world’s largest porn purveyor, offered the serial mom an $1 million contract deal and threw in health and dental insurance if she’d appear in a handful of X-rated flicks this year.

“I think it’s kind of funny that I got offered $1 million to make porn,” Suleman, a mother of 14, told Radaronline.com . “Those guys at Vivid video must be nuts! Who wants to see me naked? Maybe in a year when the baby fat goes away,” she joked.

But Octomom goes onto say that she’d need more dough to participate and the only way that happens is if she pops out more kids. “Of course, if I have more kids I may have to ask for $2 million,” she said. “Seriously, though, my mum didn’t bring me up like that. Besides, what will my 14 kids think when they grow up?”

She’s thinking of the kids now???

Although Suleman has test-tube octuplets, she’s still a traditionalist at heart.

“I believe in love and romance. Not cheap thrills that belittle women,” she said.

Octo-Mom pressured to accept offer for free housing

Updated Thu. Feb. 26 2009 10:15 AM ET

CTV.ca News Staff

California's octuplets mother has until midnight tonight to accept an offer from a group that wants to provide free housing and medical care to her and her 14 children.

The lawyer for Angels in Waiting, a non-profit group that was founded by medical professionals to care for premature infants with fragile health, said Nadya Suleman has few better options.

"They can provide for the health and safety and welfare of not only the octuplets but also the other six siblings of these octuplets. And they would be able to keep the family together, provide what they call wrap-around services, 24/7 care," Gloria Allred, a victim's rights attorney representing the agency, told CTV's Canada AM.

Two weeks ago the group offered to provide free housing, counselling and medical services to Suleman and her 14 kids, for a minimum of six months.

That offer expires at midnight Thursday. If Suleman doesn't accept, she risks having the children taken away from her, Allred said.

The L.A. lawyer has even filed a complaint with the Department of Children and Family Services in Los Angeles County, asking them to open an investigation into whether the divorced, unemployed 33-year-old would be able to adequately care for all the kids on her own.

Suleman lives in Whittier, Calif. in her mother's three-bedroom home, which is reportedly under threat of foreclosure due to missed mortgage payments.

The eight babies were born nine weeks premature, and have not yet been released from hospital.

If social workers determine there is a risk to the babies' health, they could block their release indefinitely, at which point local authorities would step in.

"The Los Angeles county department of child and family services may take the children and place them in foster homes and have public agencies come in and take care of them," Allred said.

"That would mean a burden to taxpayers and I don't think the public wants that burden and this could help to avoid that."

The group has not met with Suleman, but Allred said she is certain the offer has been delivered.

Allred said Angels in Waiting is the only group in California that offers such a service. She warned that if Suleman rejects the offer, she runs the risk of "long lasting and severe consequences and developmental delays" for the children.

"I think if she decides the needs of her babies are paramount and she wants to act for their protection and wellbeing, then this would be a hard offer for her to refuse."
