Inquiring minds want to know!!!! How did Octomom become eligible for invetro ??

I have no idea how in the world she qualified as a candidate for invitro apparently that clinic doesnt have a clue about anything I hold that clinic just as responsible as the octomom maybe more responsible they should have seen the red flags and put a stop to her madness If they would have done their jobs we wouldnt be worrying about these kids right now

I have asked this question till I am blue in the face. That stuff is expensive and she already had a van load of kids. So I would like to know too. It just seems crazy or the doctor was set to make lots of money off her later.

very good question. As I thought most states had a thing about only haveing 2 childern when on welfare! after that tubes tide

Could it be that she was offered money for publicity rights, or maybe, if she had six kids already, she used her child allowance! Serious though, no, I dont think she should have been allowed the treatment already having six kids and being on welfare. She's making a good living out of it now, I know that much! It's not right with all the childless women in the world who would dearly love to have just one kid. It's scandalous! Brightest Blessings my friend.

I think that whoever sanctioned and performed IVF for this woman needs to be thoroughly investigated. Even if you believed that it was every womans right to have a child , rather than a child having the right to a loving, safe environment it is still incomprehensible to me why they would allow this woman who has 6 children she already struggles to raise to have another 8???? Why didn't her parents object? It all seems very irresponsible to me! xxx

Oh my gosh. I really dislike that woman. She paid for it with her money that she got when she got hurt at work. I believe that she has paid attention to the news as everytime someone had alot of kids they got money and help and new homes and cars and so on. So she added it all up hey why not me. I have 6 kids and can't take care of them if I have 6 more they will take care of us. Well she had 8 and you know what I won't give a dime to her. Dr. Phil and his crap of don't let these poor kids. Well, you know there are a ton of poor kids that are not getting help. Take her kids and there are a ton of people that want a child or two. And let them see each other. She just paid for it. Sorry I just don't like her at all.

I know you are far from the only one thinking this, and wondering how they could ever allow something like this. Personally why would they allow this when she already had 6 kids she could not really afford to take care of? I personally think that this is a Shame to America and the state of California for allowing something like this, and personally I cannot see how she will not end up having some of her children taken away. Why does she continue to get so much Media coverage and such when she has never been proven to be a Good mother anyway, and why would anyone want to help support her anyways? They say she was given an award for an injury from a job is how she was able to pay for it, but you really never know. It just does not all add up to me at all.

Well bella she went to 18 doctors before the one who did it. The first 18 doctors refused her. I think the doctor should lose his medical license I don't know that he should be held financially responsiable like some thing but I do think that he shouldn't be allowed to preform invitro. He obvously isn't a very smart man. Oh and when she went to get the invitro her parents house was going into forclosure so although they had a 3 bed room house at the time it wasn't for long. Yes they owned a 3 bed room house 3 adults and 6 kids lived there! Now octomom has a $500 THOUSAND dollar house with 4 bedrooms for herself and 14 kids. yes thats 15 people living in a 4 bedroom house. Nice right?!? How safe is that?

hi bella, i ahven't read much about this crazy b%$#^ but i did a little the other night.. curiosity got the better of me.. i read that she had those eggs frozen from before.. and she couldnt possibly BEAR to have those eggs fertilized and know they were unborn babies.. hmm.. i dunno about all that.. its a lot of controversial conversation right there! I have no idea what side of the fence i stand on cause i'm not in the situation.. are frozen fertilized eggs really unborn babies ? or are they just fertilized eggs.. if you believe in a soul.. then just when does the soul enter the body.. or cells.. and what happens to the souls of unborn babies if they are never used ? they dont live, and they dont die, they stay frozen ? oh. too much to think about so close to bedtime. my brain hurts.

I have no idea how she became eligible for invetro. You have raised some very good questions. The doctor should also have to answer some questions for his actions. Do you think we will ever get any answers to the questions?? She had 6 children. Then she has 8 more. Now she has 14 small children. How is she going to transport the children? A bus, maybe. What is she going to do when the children are teenagers?? The children are going to be more than a handful when they get older. How will she explain her actions to her children?

What?! Are you serious? For real? I'd like to know too bella! She was on welfare and living with her parents? That I didn't know but would love to know the answer to this one! Damn, here we complain about wasteful government spending and yet this happens! Geeze, this is a serious case of misuse of government funds for sure! Besides that, couldn't she be happy enough with the six kids she already had? She should wear my shoes for a while and find out how to be happy with the six she had because I can't have any!! Damn this really takes the cake!

I think she is nuts to have that many kids when she isn't even financially stable or have a husband. I have 2 kids and they are a handful as it is. I don't know how I could cope with anymore than that, much less 14 kids. Sheesh!

anyone with the money and willing to pay it can get ivf , i understand it from both points of view, i mean they where her eggs and she didnt expect all 6 to take and have 2 split, but if she wanted another child she should of waited until she had a good enogh job and a house of her own , but no matter what we think or how people treat her the children are here so all we can do now is hope she can find away to get off welfare and takes care of her children , i dont know how she will be able to handle that many kids because i have 4 and sometimes they drive mw crazy. all i can do is say good luck to her and i hope for the best for the childrens sake.

This was something that I asked when I first heard of the situation. Here she is on disability and she can aford, with 6 other kids, to get this procedure? That's why I am so suspicious of the doctor that performed the procedure. I just think this whole thing is so outrageous. I know that he was being investigated for his invovlement. Did anything ever come of that?

It was my question also when I first saw the news on paper. when she could not afford her already 6 children, who permitted her to go for this? Its insane world.

i was wondering that myself..i had thought you had to have a history of not being able to concieve to qualify,as obviously is not a problem with her. but i think she may have worked for the doctor previous,so there may have been a bit of insider there.was unethical of the doctor though.

She evidently saved her money that she used while "working" and then bribed some doctor. I wouldn't be surprised if she had a deal with the doctor to give her a percentage of her earnings from her new reality show and her interviews and story rights. Everyone has a price.
