Octuplet Mom Fills Void

ASSI – The octuplet mom Nadya Suleman seems to have finally filled the void that six children and possible the eight are unable to fill. Cameras, Lights, and Hollywood appear to be the void that was missing in her life. She mentioned to Ann Curry of the NBC today show that she started having children to fill an empty space in her life, a void that her father, Ed Doud does not understand, he told Oprah that he and her mother made sure she was loved, cared for and received lots of affection.

As an only child, I understand the desire to have more than one child because I know what’s like to grow up without siblings. Some only children vow to have more than one child to prevent their child from having similar life experiences, but 14 is excessive. The children seem to be a pawn in her covets to have the public spotlight shine on her, hungry for more than 15 minutes of fame, the now infamous Suleman welcomed cameras into her newly purchased $564,900.00, 2,583 Square foot home in LaHabra a suburb outside of LA, which she should close on this week.

It has been reported that her father purchased the home but he was on Oprah declaring that he has only $100.00 to his name from the $9,000.00 that he brought with him from Iraq where he is currently working as a translator. According to Nadya, she is purchasing the home with money received from the sell of the babies’ photos and interview appearances, the money is in an escrow account, and will also go into a trust fund account for all 14 children. According to Dr. Phil McGraw who has been counseling Suleman, stated that she will receive assistance with the children from the nonprofit nursing group Angels in Waiting, and I am hopeful that Suleman will receive some additional counseling from Dr. Phil.

As I see it, the doctors transferred eight eggs into her uterus in an attempt for her to conceive one more child through in vitro fertilization; therefore, they (her and the doctors) knew it was plausible that all eight embryos could take, but she was unprepared mentally, emotionally, and financially to care for 14 children. I also believed that once it was determined that she was carrying eight fetuses measures were taken to ensure Suleman and her children would have the proper assistance needed for their care. Someone or corporation would provide the financial support, formula, diapers, and etc. I see a reality show in their future. I give it a year.
