UPDATE: I've been reading that the expected sponsorship deals that
most mothers with multiples get – free nappies, formula, nursery
furniture etc – are not materialising for Angelina's sister Nadya Suleman and her babies. While
some people may take the 'sucked in, serves you right' attitude, I
don't. I wish nothing but happiness and a smooth path for this family,
the mother included. And that's going to be an inordinately tough thing to pull off.
Whatever I think about her screwed up motivations and the ethics of
the doctors who performed the fertility treatment which resulted in the
octuplets (NOT the same medical team who delivered the babies by the
way so yes of COURSE that team are going to look happy – the miracle of
delivering 8 healthy babies can only be something to be celebrated), nobody wants these babies or her other children to suffer. Certainly not more than they will from having to share their mother with 13 needy siblings….
I hope she is showered with free stuff because anything that will help these children to be happy and well cared for and not slip into poverty is a good, good thing.

This is Nadya Suleman who is probably wishing she could stay a little longer with the interviewer. Instead of going home to deal with her 14 CHILDREN UNDER 7 YEARS OLD including octuplets born last week.
She has given an interview to US network NBC and they've released some excerpts….let's follow this story, shall we?

Lu, I totally agree with that - I guess that is why so many people have expressed their regret that these particular children will grow up in this particular situation with this particular woman. There is no doubt that this family is not alone in it's potential dysfunction, but it is certainly an extreme case in light of the fact that there are so many children involved.
Lets hope they get all the help they need and somehow it becomes a success story...
Mums a fruit loop indeed. But, the horse has bolted, the kids are here, too late to send them back. They deserve the best life possible, no different to any child who has to make the most of the life their parents have chosen for them to live.
