I'm curious where she came up with the money to do fertility drugs and IVF. Last I heard, it wasn't cheap.

the more I read about those two families, the more distinct differences I see between either the Duggars or the Gosselins, and this mystery lady....

according to wikipeida:

Shit .. let me go tell my gf to go fire up some babies so we can leech off other people and at the same time I will move back home with my parents.

I mean she of course is just staying with her parents because she wanted the grandparents to be with their kids. She can afford to pay for all 100 kids herself without any issues .. her plan of action is all logic folks ..........

My wife and I may have to go that route. We got married late and are giving kids a shot even though we are alomst 40 and its about 70% we will have to go the adoption route.

But anywho, the going rate for 1 attempt at IVF runs from about $15,000 to $25,000 on the average.

of course, then there's this:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duggar_family...bal_citizenship

the Gosselins, the wife suffers from infertility... twins from one, 6 kids from the other.... the series they do is pretty much a full time job, plus they've written two books... and they're managed...

and then we have....
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/California_octuplets
(wikipedia is quick)

some interesting stuff so far:


I'm trying not to judge here....
I'm not sure I get what you're saying...Maybe you can help me. The Duggarts and Goselins were and are looking for handouts or the support of others, but this lady is different because...she hasn't asked for any? They're either the same in wanting help from others, or they're different and she's not asking for any help at all...which I don't think I've heard her ask for.

I'm not sure why people are all up in a huff about this lady having the kids, when it's all speculation about whether she'll seek support from anyone except her immediate family. I don't care if she has 6 dozen kids, long as the general population doesn't end up paying for them.

And even if she does need some financial support and 3 of the kids form a medical dream team one day and cure cancer, parkinsons, and herpes, will anybody care that they were on welfare? Or will we all say "best value for public money ever spent!!" Okay, that last part is a dream.

I don't know what I'm saying either... I don't really know what to think just yet, as it's still too soon....

I mean, sure, she can do what she wants....

but something seems so wrong about this situation....

what bothers me, if the identity of this lady is correct, why would a 33 year old have so many embryos transfered when the American Society for Reproductive Medicine limits the number transferred to two for women less than 35....

and I wonder if the fact that she works at a fertility clinic helped with the costs....

I hope the next set (if there is) of babies coming from this mother, I hope they are strapped with parachutes. Damn, after 14, I think they would just drop out of her!
