Unless you live under a rock, you have heard about octuplet mom, Nadya Suleman. There is just so many things wrong with this story, that I don’t even know where to begin.
Welfare Mom Or Not?
First of all, Nadya doesn’t have a job. She told Ann Curry that for the last ten years she has been living off of $168,000 dollars worth of disability payments totaling $168,000 and around $50,000 in student loans. She adamantly denied any welfare assistance. IShortly afterwards, the media reported that Nadya Suleman receives $490.00 a month in food stamps. Her publicist responded, “She (Nadya) doesn’t regard that as welfare, but as payments available to people with needs.” Ah….what does she think the definition of welfare is? Welfare, according to Encarta, is: “aid to people in need. Financial aid and other benefits for people who are unemployed, below a specific income level, or otherwise requiring assistance, especially when provided by a government agency or program.”
Secondly, Medi-Cal, California’s version of health care for the poor, paid for the prenatal care, the enormous cost of the birth, and will pay an estimated 1 million dollars for the eight infants neonatal intensive care unit stay. Of course, if there are any lasting medical conditions, diseases, or disorders Medi-Cal will also have to cover the treatment for those as well. Again, if this doesn’t classify as welfare, then what does?
Three Kids Already On Federal Assistance And Eight More May Follow
I would be very surprised if Nadya doesn’t file SSI paperwork on all of these infants the moment they are released to her care. Premature infants automatically qualify for SSI payments…simply based on their premature birth. And, it is very true that these children are at a very high risk for cerebral palsy, developmental delays, respiratory disease, heart disease, etc.. because of their premature birth.
Nadya already has three “disabled” children that are each receiving a reported $800.00 a month in SSI payments. One child had a speech impediment, one child has ADHD, and one child has autism. I do not know to what degree these children are afflicted, but I do know that they shouldn’t legally be receiving SSI payments. As a mother of a handicapped child, I know the rules of SSI like the back of my hand.
Liar Liar Underwear On Fire
The lies and fraud of Nadya Suleman seem to never end. According to SSI rules, a single parent can not have more than $2000 dollars in resources for a child to qualify for SSI payments. Yet, in the Ann Curry interview she claimed that she paid for the IVF with money she saved from her own disability payments. A single cycle of IVF can cost up to 15,000. Her three children should have never qualified for SSI payments. Instead, she would have been required to spend that $15,000 on her children’s care.
It is quite clear that she either lied about how she paid for the IVF cycles or committed SSI fraud!
Sadly, it doesn’t stop there. The photos from the last ten years show an undeniable facial change in Nadya. Her lips are plumper, her chin is wider, her cheek bones are higher, and her nose is elongated and narrow. Ironically, she now looks much like the Brad-pack mom. It is clear that she has had plastic surgery. Again, if she had money for these elective cosmetic procedures, then she didn’t need federal and state money to care for her children.
The IVF and plastic surgery are done. One could argue that she can just focus on being a better person and mother. But, Nadya Suleman just doesn’t learn. Even now, after having eight infants that she can not even buy diapers for, she is out buying MAC makeup and getting acrylic nails.
Six Children And Homeless – To – Fourteen Children And A Mansion
The latest news in this unfolding tragedy comes from TMZ. Documents have been discovered showing that the tiny home, owned by the Nadya’s mother, is in foreclosure. The note hasn’t been paid for over ten months. So, what does Nadya do? She goes shopping for a new million dollar home. Yes, that is right…a million dollar home! Apparently, she is counting her chickens before they hatch. She might be planning reality shows, interviews, magazine covers, etc.. but I don’t think any entity is stupid enough to touch her story. People are furious about the irresponsibly, lies, and selfishness Nadya Suleman oozes, and will certainly be ready to lynch anyone who pays her for her story.
Ethics Of Implanting Six Embryos
Of course, the fertility doctor is culpable in this story. It is illegal in the UK to implant more than two embryos into a women. Here in the United States, it may not be illegal, but it is certainly an unethical medical decision. Implanting six embryos into any woman, is a danger to her health and the fetuses. Animals have litters like this, not humans!
Who Is To Blame?
Nadya Suleman is obviously using procreation as a paycheck, and the lies and fraud should land her in jail. However, much of the blame should be placed on California Government offices for letting the situation escalate from six children to fourteen. Nadya Suleman has been in the system- food stamps, social security, Medi-Cal, and who knows how many other programs. The case workers should have already reported Nadya to social services. She is unemployed, she and six children sleep in one bedroom, and three of her children already have disabilities. Red flags should have been flying for all of her case workers.

I don’t know about this, really great read here.
A very impressive discussion here. Are there any clear pictures of before and after facial shots?
Oh, Jo, you got my blood boiling again. I had been hoping you would write an artilce on this crazy lady. I know how strongly you feel about this situation based on the comment you posted to my article.
First of all, this mother lives in California, and last I checked that state was in some severe financial straights of its own. This woman has single-handedly increased the state’s budget woes.
Secondly, if this woman makes one red cent from her story, the court should step in and have those funds deposited in an escrow account or trust for those children and name someone other than Nadya Suleman as the trustor.
Third, I agree about the plastic surgery but I don’t understand how anyone sees any resemblance to Angelina Jolie. I too, watched the interview with Ann Curry and couldn’t help but notice how much different she looked in the older photographs. Actually, I thought she was much better looking before she had done whatever it is she had done. Now she has a freaky, Joker like grin on her face.
Fourth, how convenient that the house payments on the mother’s house that Nadya lived in lapsed about the same time she was deciding to have her remaining embryos implanted. Like I said in my article, I think she had a ten year plan and she figured she’d be rolling in the dough by now to makeup the payments on her mother’s mortgage.
And finally, what this woman has done is criminal. Mothers like you will suffer as a result of women like her. Bless you and your family who are also her victims. I feel for you.
This was a great article. Thanks, Joni
Jo, you are so right about everything here. Great article!
I have no idea about this, great discussion anyways.
This woman is a loon!!!
Social Services needs to step in, take all the children, put the woman in prison for fraud and we can all hope the children grow up to be more responsible than their stupid moter is.
Thank you all for the comments.
Anne- The media has shown several photos of Nadya before and after what is so obviously plastic surgery. There is also photos in several mags like US weekly. There is just no way she hasnt had several cosmetic procedures.
You wrote this piece with a passion and conviction! I agree with all the points you’ve brought up..Something is not right about this woman, and yes, she looks so much like “Brad-pack mom”
Even more amazing than the above is some nimrod WANTS to have DNA testing done because he thinks the kids are his!!! Personally I would be running as fast as possible from this lunatic and her brood of Frankensteins. Not to mention when Octomom doesn’t receive the compensation from the media that in her mind she’s “earned”, who do you think will be targeted with CHILD SUPPORT PAYMENTS?!?!?!
Now that will be the trial of THIS century!
From the perspective of a mom of eight myself, I don’t have a problem with her having eight kids if she wants to, but I do have a problem with using fertillity treatments to get them. God designed us to have one or two at a time, not eight! These fertility treatments are just man’s way of side stepping God and His wisdom. The doctor who allowed this to happen is at fault, along with social services. This lady needs help but she also needs God’s wisdom in her heart and mind. The love of money is the root of all evil! God’s Word
I agree with Mama Heartfilled above in that I will not seek fertility treatments if I am unable to have children. I have taken too many science courses to believe that messing with nature is the right thing to do. If nature says, “Andromeda, you will be barren” I will not fight it. I am sure there is a good reason for it and I do not presume to know more than mother nature or God to second guess these decisions.
I know there are guidlines in the US about how many embryos should be implanted depending on the woman’s age and fertility history.
It ranges from 1-3 implanted embryos. NOT 8! And Nadya had successful pregnacies before.
The fertility doctor should have his license taken away. OR the welfare payments and ongoing medical bills for these children can come out of his pocket.
Did you Hear? The “father” of these babies wants a DNA test? For what? Does he want those child support payments? How many sperm donors go looking for their offspring? NONE!?! He’s looking for fame and fortune. I begin to think if some of us would do the same thing in that situation if it meant gaining fame and money. Hmmm.
Thanks for another great article!
Dr. Phil’s Looney Tunes and Dog and Pony Show aired yesterday; featured Nadya Sulemen live. Bet he had to do a lot of pre-grooming her and editing out also before airing. He seems to be more interested in raves, reviews, viewer ratings and pats on the back rather than Psych 101. Has Dr. Phil forgotten Psych 101? Maybe he needs to refresh his memory.
