This Mother is on SSI disability and as long as she is each of her children will get SSI also until the age of 18. I don't know how much the children will get but my guess is that it will not cover the costs of 14 children. Do you think this money might have contributed to her choices?

i doubt she did it for the money, she'll have WAY more expenses than she will have government assistance. i think she did it because she's lonely, demented and wanted to be angelina jolie. she has had plastic surgery done to look more like angelina. its bizarre. plus i think the doctor that did her impregnation should be fined and have to contribute towards the upbringing of those children. the state of california, where i live, and the fed cannot be responsible for this dumb heifer not knowing her vajayjay isn't a clown car.

I think she is a friggin idiot! She says that she did nothing irresposible! WTF, if thats not irresponsible then what is? Sure, they are all cute now, but they are gonna get bigger and when things get bigger, they get messier and more expensive. I didnt know that she had set up a site for donations though, forget that. She made her bed. She has to lie awake in it listening to her babies crying.

and you didn't even touch on the health problems all those premature babies are going to have. They need our prayers.

This entire situation is so wrong! She should never have been allowed to have all these kids. Now that she has them, the rest of us shouldn't have the financial burden of raising them. I agree with the person who said that they should all be given up for adoption. It would be in everyone's best interests: the babies, the taxpayers, the state of California, and even the mother's. She obviously has mental problems and needs to be protected from herself.

Hey pat! This woman wasn't able to take care of the 6 children that she already had! She has lied to the media about being on any type Social Services or Public Assistance! She had no right to have one more child let alone 8 more children! She is a sick woman! The facility that implanted the eggs should be held accountable for not running psychological testing on her! I worked for an Infertility Specialist for two years and this was not the proper proticol for implantation by no means! This woman was not in a stable relationship or any relationship and was not psychologically or monitarily ready for this procedure to have been done!

I think this lady is just ridiculous. She also set up a site on the internet for people to make donations. The children should be taken away from her. It's impossible to care for 14 children when she's not working and leaving in a small house.

I think she definitely did this because of the outcome. She's a smart woman who knew what she was doing, she's done her research. I would not at all be suprised if she did this just for the money.

Yes. She's made herself into a baby factory for the money. She has the mentality of "I'll just keep having babies, that way I won't have to work. I'll be supported by the state and all those other fools who actually work for a living." It offends me because my mother had the same mentality. She didn't care about me, all she wanted was the money. Those kids should be taken away and given to people who will actually care what happens to them. This woman is too busy with herself to pay attention to the babies.
