“Eight may not be enough but it might be a ‘litter’ more than grandma can handle”

Nadya Suleman, an unemployed 33 year old mother of six children that had been living with her children and mother in a small three-bedroom house that was in mortgage default and scheduled to be sold at auction elects to undergo an in vitro fertilization treatment which leads to … octuplets.  A beaming mother claims she will get by with the help of family, friends, and her church. She plans to return to school in the fall.  Meanwhile her 69 year-old mom who is taking care of the other six children ages two through seven (all of them also conceived through in vitro fertilization) indicated that she is already overwhelmed looking after them.  She said she warned her daughter: “I’m going to be gone” [when you get home].  Her 67 year-old father says he is leaving the country to return to his native Iraq as a translator and driver in order to financially support his daughter and her children.
