Octomom Nadya Suleman was able to bring home two of her eight babies, Noah Angel and Isaiah Angel, last night on March 17, but arrived to her new home in La Habra, Calif. swarmed by paparazzi, onlookers, news reporters, and even helicopters. As the single mom of 14 children drove into her driveway, photographers jumped onto her SUV and held on, banging on the vehicle's windows as she pulled into her garage. The babies, able to bottle-feed and maintain their body temperatures on their own, were not injured, although Suleman's garage was damaged in the incident.
Neighbors were irritated by the attention surrounding their new neighbor, one resident calling Suleman a "freeloader" on KTLA news. Until recently, Suleman was living with her parents in Bellflower. Because that home was facing foreclosure, she moved into a new four-bedroom home that she claims she paid for with no aid from family members. The unemployed Suleman may well be profiting from the immense coverage she's receiving from going on talk shows and broadcasting her life on Radar Magazine's website, radaronline.com, which is featuring Suleman daily via text pieces and diary-style home videos, which she provides.

this goes out to all of you saps that keep saying that she coulden't help having 8 kids, she knew she was going to have 8, havent you watched thenews lately?
also she is a parasite that hould be shunned not praised, because if she's going to have this many kids when the economy is the way it is now, she is definately not the brightest crayon in the box.
all in all she deserves the hardship that comes from raising 14 kids, I mean she's 3 short of being the dugger family.
they should put them up for adoption to couples that can't have children of their own.
she doesn't deserve them.

You are all rediculous.....yes she has 14 children, yes she is going to need help, yes what she did may be immoral and irresponsible, but who wants to see 14 precious children who are siblings seperated and held in foster homes. Foster homes where there maybe 4 or more children, no attention at all, maybe if being hurt (beaten molested) Who knows some criminals haven't been convicted yet and they have temporary custody of children who came from "unworthy,unsafe,needy" homes. Come on be an american and look at these children as precious lives who deserve a chance. Stop bad mouthing a woman you don't even know personally. You trully have no life if your going to sit there and talk a bunch of crap about someone you haven't even sat and had a conversation with. Leave her alone and shut up!

The real question should be asked Nadya " Have you have an (or more) apt. with a shrink yet?. Why should she care, everybody is taking care of her and the children .. we work hard and extra hours to pay our bills and to pay tax so the state can support you and your children. Nadya, you need to see a shrink.

Everybody should see how stupid this girl is. There's a recession going on. Why should everybodys taxes go towards stupidity. So yeah everyone needs to see how irresponsible this broad is. She needs a brain then a job. People are homeless, losing their homes and she goes and have more kids than she knows what to do with. Yeah look at the stupid broad. I hope they stay on her.

The way this woman's personal life is being invaded is sick and scary. She is being helped through private donations and the crowd of sickos gathered outside her home and hanging off her car and damaging her property is seriously disturbed. I say get some buses drive them over there, pick up all those freaks and drive them to AIG employees homes to protest...Government bailouts for companies handing out huge bonuses, now there's a reason to organize a protest.

I think the media needs to get another gig cause to tell you the truth...I'm sick of hearing about her entire life. She represents about 10% of women (lots of other women are in the same situation and chose to be) but I don't see anyone doing anything about it. The media should have listened to her when she said she didn't want to disclose information (when she first went on the news) but oh no....the politics were starting to die down and they needed fresh meat. What a waste of TV air time......

Every kid deserves a father and her children are being deprived of a natural rught because of her selfishness. Ten years from now when everyone is tired of hearing about her pregnecies where will she be? She is using the situation for attention and money. I can't believe they let people just go and have children like that without doing some kind of mental counseling with them. People could go and sell their children or other terrible things to them when they treat them like commodities. She needs her head examined.The more chiuldren with special needs she has the more social security benefits she will receive. As far as the poparazzi breaking up her garage - well she didn't have to pay for it - it is the price she has to pay for trying to be famous for 15 minutes.

Hell no we should not be supporting this crazy woman by any means. She could of reduced the number of babies but she chose not to. I do not see how she can raise RESPECTABLE kids in any kind of way. No attention seperately, no one on one. People wake up. She needs to adopt those 8 out! I may seem harsh but I know how HARD it is with three not on welfare! My MOM had 6 by HERSELF. This woman I hope got a tubal.

I TOTALLY agree with bayou31! This woman is not playing with a full deck. She knew she couldn't afford the first 6, let alone the next 8! There is NO way a single mother, with no job, can afford to feed, cloth, and shelter all of these kids. Good grief - this is what is wong with our whole country. If you can't afford to provide for children, then don't have them. I'm tired of paying for these kids, thru my tax dollars via food stamps, Title 19, etc., for parents that can't afford them. It is not our responsibility to provide for these children. I think all of you people that support her decision to have and keep these kids need to collectively pay for them. Those of us who think it is ridiculously, would like off the hook!

Aside from my personal feelings on the subject why in THE HECK is it considered legal for the reporters to jump on her truck and ride on it right into her garage? How is it ok to stalk ANYONE to such an extent? What is wrong with our priorities? News, yes, but the media masses intruding on even the neighbors lives? don't they need a permit for such an assembly? UG!

I think there's more important issues in the world, than reporting on a women that has 14 children, no job and living off the state. It would be different if she had a job, didn't get any medical help or any help from the state in any form. We have very sick people that go with out medication everyday, that can't get help buying needed medication. But we as tax payers must flip the bill of around 1 million for this lady to give birth. But then she tells reporters that she doesn't receive any help from the state. If we keep reading and writting about this women she will keep making money off of this situation.

This woman is unbalanced, and I worry that a major tragedy could occur. I think she may have it in her to commit suicide and take the children with her, if things don't turn out the way she wants. Hope the state, family and friends will keep a close eye.

I think the point is that she DOES NOT have a job so the state and everyone in it that pays taxes are going to be paying for her kids. She is using her children to make a living and that isn't right. The doctor that she went to for her In Vitro needs to support these kids since he didn't use common sense when he helped her get pregnant. I can't beleive any self respecting doctor would even allow a single woman with no job and six kids already to go through with it. And furthermore, how did she pay for the In Vitro and all the medicine that goes with it if she didn't have a job? Where exactly did she get the money for it? Whoever helped her get pregnant needs to help now. I am a single mom of one and that is hard enough; I wish Nadya all the best of luck and patience...she will need it.

first off. i am a mom with a large family.. but i riase them with no welfare help, and work a job, own my own home, .. there is othing wrong with large families, or the fact that she wants to raise them,but she needs a job and get off welfare, and quit expecting handouts.. if you are gonna have babies you need the means to care for them...with that many kids, she needs money to buy a large home, and hire nanny's .. and most importantly needs parenting classes, on how to care for them.

Let's not be ignorant. While it is more difficult to raise children, especially many children, while single, many, many people have done it well. Couples have each other, to be sure, but they are not better people with better values, harder working, more determined, etc. I am a single mother who has raised a child on my own since his father left before he was born. To protect my child, I asked for nothing from anyone. This child is now a high school student taking the most advanced classes and maintaining a GPA of 4.0. He is a stunning classical musician, a loyal and loving son, and classmate who delights in helping others. Yet, when I chose to home school him when the schools could not challenge him, I was criticized because I had the courage to do the right thing when nobody else would.

It's appalling how many of you want to defend this parasite, living off our tax dollars. I don't care how many kids one has AS LONG AS THEY CAN AFFORD TO FEED THEM without sponging off of MY and YOUR tax dollars. This woman has no job and 14 kids. HELLO!!! No wonder the economy's in a wreck, people want to freeload and have kids on other people's money. To people who say it is none of my business how many kids this woman has, my response: "If it's my tax dollars being spent on her, darn right it's my business. Same with the AIG bailout and everything else. "
She is a freeloader, a parasite and a nutcase. those kids deserve better. They should be taken away and given to more deserving people.

Everyone should leave her alone. I wish people should lend a helping hand instead of trying to put her down. She did right by not aborting the other babies. How can a person choose which baby lives and which baby dont. And for her neighbors thats sad. Really sad. Love thy neighbor as you love thyself. People give her helping hand. Those are precious gifts from God all 14 of them.

I think everyone should leave this woman ALONE!!! She couldn't have known she was going to have 8 babies at once before she even got pregnant!!! I think everyone should be praying for the health of her and her children. I know I will, and my family. We should be happy to help her out!!! I know if this was to happen where I live we would want to help all I could!!! I say MORE POWER TO HER for WANTING to raise all them by herself!!! She does NOT need to give them up for adoption unless it is what SHE wants. For all you people who think her children need to be taken away... you don't have a heart or soul!!! Children need to stay with their parents unless they are in serious danger. It isn't clear, as of right now, if she can or can't be a great mother to 14 children. So BACK OFF and PRAY!!!

Everyone that I have read about who had an extraordinary amount of kids at once in the past has benefited from it financially. Some have received houses, cars, college educations, free clothes and diapers and formula. One couple no longer has to work because of a TV show and they are able to live in a house most of us only dream about. That person is also OCD. They go on free trips and take advantage of every offer given to them. Why should this Nadya be any different? Just because she is not a wife? Who's to say if she were married that she would be better off? She made her decision, she had beautiful babies, she made history...just by chance. If she does not take all offers given to her....her children suffer. They are innocent. Good Luck Nayda and her 14 little angels.

I dont know what the big deal is about having a large family anymore and the desire to remain single , there are'nt any real ngood men nowdays that are worth being in a relationship with most are molesters, pedophiles are have uncontrollable sexual urges. anyway, I have come from a large family of 11 and my x came from a family of 16, my mother raised us alone and my x his mother was widowed and raised hers alone, therefore there is nothing unusual about a mom raising a large family alone, we are all sure she has her family to help her when she needs it,leave this poor girl alone and give her the space she needs to bond with her babies.

Nowadays I seriously dont support any person having so many kids. But what can be done now, absolutely nothing! It amazes me how people keep saying that these children should be put up for adoption. Are you all trippin! I cant believe that all these morons actually believe that removing & separating these children is a sane option. I used to volunteer in foster homes & couldn't believe half of the things I saw in those places. I also have a very good friend who was adopted by what many call exemplary people- you know the hard working kind that dont live out of welfare... and although she received a great education, was well fed & always had the latest fashion in clothing, she was also raped & threaten by her preacher adoptive dad. So please people PLEASE think what you are suggesting!

leave this woman alone. she only wanted one more child. which may be stupid since she is single, but it is her life. she had no way of knowing she would end up with 8 babies.at once. i feel sorry for her. in a way. imagine 8 babies wanting to eat all at the same time. where is the compassion in this world. as far as taking her children from her. the thought of it is totally ridiculous. everyone needs to pray for her and her children, for she is going to need all the prayers she can get. good luck to mom and babies.

My thought on this very unusual woman is, How can this woman be for real. I think all these children should be adopted by normal couples that can provide at least the basics for all these children. There a couples out there that can't have children and are able to afford raising at least one, but this woman can't possibly provide ALL these children a normal, healthy safehaven for these children. TO ALL PEOPLE THAT LIVE IN CALIFORNIA KEEP WORKING CAUSE WE HAVE 8 MORE TO SUPPORT. The sad part of about these children's lives is that the older ones will have baby sit and help care for the others. They have to suffer cause she's just plain stupid and has had no commom sense. What a waste of space, time, money this whole thing is.
