'My eight miracle babies': Mother of octuplets reveals her joy ... but there's no sign of the father

The mother who gave birth to octuplets - giving her a grand total of 14 children - has said her babies are 'miraculous'. But as more details emerged...neighbours raised questions over whether her children will have a father in their lives at all.

The woman's mother...confirmed the octuplets were indeed the result of fertility treatment - and...had had the opportunity to abort one or more...but turned it down.

It was also revealed that the woman's father - a contractor - may be forced to return to work in Iraq to help support his 14 grandchildren.


Cramped: This two or three bedroom bungalow
in Whittier, California home to the woman who gave birth
to octuplets this week

Residents....where the unidentified mother lives said they have never seen the woman – who they said looks to be Hispanic - with anyone who looked like a boyfriend or husband.

A neighbour...said: 'I don’t think she is married or has a partner."

Concerns...also raised over the family's home...

But the babies' grandfather said the family have a far larger house elsewhere....

'We have a huge house, not here....'You are never going to know where it is.'

...The mother of the octuplets is believed to be 33.

It has been suggested she is possibly a “crazy, mentally challenged” single mom with 6 children, using fertilty techniques to have 8 more children. No partner visible. Parents taking care of her already 6 children size family. People may make judgements as to why this woman would use fertility techniques to have AI 8 children. Possibly?? judgements on a possibly single woamn having 14 children.

Stalking? Why?

To make sure she is appropriately punished for not aborting #'s 8-14.

They acted like Sarah Palin was Fertilla the Populator for having five children, so imagine how angry they must be at this lady...

Not to sound racist, but didn’t I read somewhere that there is one race of people on this earth who are trying to out produce all over races?

All the news is reporting that he’s a military contractor in Iraq.

This is what the DailyMail said:

"...It was also revealed that the woman's father - a contractor - may be forced to return to work in Iraq to help support his 14 grandchildren."*

*Had to leave it out to get in under that 300-word except rule

“no sign of a father”??

Sounds like a good episode of the Maury Povich program coming up.

There is a religion that has, at its heart, world conquest.

And one of the spears of that is to out-reproduce the other cultures.

Let’s be sensible. Sarah is married, and not living with her parents with 6 other kids. Let’s not get on a religious high horse about not reducing the babies. It’s called don’t have more than you can take care of in the first place. This is going to be a country with alot of people and no resources to take care of them pretty soon.

Article says the woman’s father is a contractor and may have to return to Iraq. No mention of the babies’ daddy/daddies.

Lady’s got 14 kids that are probably going to be wards of the state. There might be some public interest there.

other sources say the woman's husband is the one that may have to return to Iraq, I know not which sources are correct.

Suleman sound much more Muslim, than Hispanic.

In fact, it is the Arab equivalent of Hebrew Solomon.

i assume she was trying to sell her eggs perhaps? that’s the reason for the drugs maybe. they tell you not to have sex when taking the treatments. evidently she can’t keep her legs closed.
