A British newspaper and CBS News report that the mother who gave birth to octuplets at Kaiser Permenente Medical Center in Bellflower, Calif., already has six children -- including twins -- who are living with her parents while she recovers.

The Sun reported that the mother is "believed to be Hispanic," but her identity is being kept a secret; the paper did not cite its source.

The CBS report says the mother will take her octuplets home to their brothers, sisters and grandparents "in a neighborhood of two- and three-bedroom homes."

The babies, who were born nine weeks early, are doing well.
