Thoughts on that crazy lady…

So everyone has just been shouting at the top of their lungs about Nadya Suleman and her new eight little babies. Most people think she is completely off her rocker and an absolute terrible person/mother/citizen. I tend to agree with most of the commentary. She is unequipped to raise 14 children with no source of income or real help besides a retired mother and father who are already having a hard time housing the other six children.

The part where I start to disagree is where people suggest her children should be taken away. I have no doubt that my want to have a baby clouds my view entirely. I see a mother with the children she loves and my heart starts to break when I think of someone taking them from her. I also know that to take the children would mean to separate them from one another which is also something I don’t agree with.

As ridiculous as I think this woman AND her doctor are, I do encourage people to help her. Should she have made this awful decision? No way. But are the children already born and here and needing support? Yes. Whether she’s an idiot or not, the family still needs help. I’m fairly certain that she will be just fine now that her story has taken off and all the magazines and papers are going to start paying her for photos and interviews. Good luck, Nadya.
