Neighbor: Octuplets From Sperm Donor

In an effort to try and find out more about the woman who gave birth to octuplets earlier this week, we went to the home she shares with her parents and six other children in Whittier, California.

What we learned is that her whole neighborhood is buzzing about the possibility that the 33-year-old mother used the same sperm donor to conceive the octuplets AND her other six children.

She certainly enjoys making babies like a sow. She should have put the fertilized embryos up for adoption by childless couples, instead of almost assuredly sticking the taxpayers with the cost of her hobby.

I hope we’re not just piling on here, but this certainly doesn’t sound like the Duggars family.

No, she should have married and had kids naturally.

Wouldn't these embryos have to be implanted? What doctor would implant 8 embryos in a woman with no father present, no means of financial support and who already has 6 kids? Seems like a major ethics violation if you axe me.....

I wonder if the donor could be held responsible for child support? If I remember correctly there was a case, either here or in England, where that actually happened.

Sounds like a wannabe Duggar family. I feel sorry for the kids.

So this mother has no husband, no boyfriend...just a sperm donor? She lives with her parents? With 14 children?

The doctor should be held responsible for child support. What idiot would soe 8 embryos into a welfare queen with 6 on the ground already?

There were a few cases in the U.S. where this happened.

Pennsylvania Court Orders Sperm Donor to Lesbian Couple to Pay Child Support

Sperm donor loses appeal on child support

I wouldn't mind if that happened again in this case.

The Duggar family is NOT anything like this. The mother and father are married and committed to each other and they DO NOT rely on any kind of public assistance. As far as I’m concerned you can have 18 kids and be responsible, you can have 2 kids and be irresponsible by expecting someone else to pay the bills.

From what I could tell back then, she was pretty happy with herself, saying she liked having kids and she wanted 12 kids in all," Garcia told the Long Beach Press-Telegram.

"She told me that all of her kids were through in vitro, and I said 'Gosh, how can you afford that and go to school at the same time?"' she added. "And she said it's because she got paid for it." Garcia said she did not ask for details.

I was thinking the same thing - this could be the Trojan horse.

The term is ‘transferred’ not ‘implanted’. Drs can not implant embryos. In all likelihood, more than 8 embryos were transferred. Its extremely rare for all embryos to eventually implant and remain viable.

Thanks for the links. This brings up the question of does it make any difference if it was done in a clinic? The two cases sited were between two adults with oral contracts. Would the same case law hold for a woman that goes to a clinic, could she seek the name of the donor and go after him? As the one attorney said, it isn’t the parent that has the right to the support but the child so can the child go after the daddy? Interesting “what ifs”

In the responses from the original article, it was suggested that she was actually the second wife of the person she claims to be her father.

Actually, I wouldn't be surprised if they weren't breeding little jihadists on our dime!

Wake up, AMERICA!
