Islander Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 She is obviously emotionally unstable. I feel bad for the 14 little ones since they will grow up without a father and seriously emotionally deprived. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RainofGold Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 Is she going to be taking all of this babies to her 3 bedroom house?And is she having extra help to take care of their feeding, bathing, changing, and holding? I also agree that she might have a mental problem. It reminded me of the Yates mom who drowned her five children. We should all pray that this little angels can receive the attention and love that they deserve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prospectmom Posted March 5, 2009 Report Share Posted March 5, 2009 (edited) While I totally disagree with what happened if you know anything about invitro you whould know while multiple embryos are implanted rarley do all take this is no a normal occurance . Usually only one or two take. I think our government has enough say in our daily lives than to add another.

lestertheemt Posted March 5, 2009 Report Share Posted March 5, 2009 Yes multiples are implanted but 8 is extremely rare. Instead of introducing a bill that would set a max. number it should would be nice to see more insurance companies that would actually cover IVF or even IUI's.

lchri134 Posted March 5, 2009 Report Share Posted March 5, 2009 I think that this mother has very serious mental issues. It is insane to have even six children while you don't have a house of your own and live with your mother. I really think that the doctor that implanted knew how unstable an environment that these children would live in, and was in error in going through with the process. The current living environment that these 14 children will be in would not meet the standards for a foster care family. Three of the Six children have special needs, so chances are that some of the six will have similar problems. I do disagree with some people who say that single women don't have a business have children. I mean with all of the children who are need in loving parents i really don't think that it is wrong for a single women to adopt. I know that it is more ideal to have a mother and a father, but if a women can provide it is so much better for the child to have a loving home, then to be forgotten in the system until they are 18.

prospectmom Posted March 5, 2009 Report Share Posted March 5, 2009 With all the media attention on this family She will be held to a much higher standerd than the average parent..... The state is already making demands and no matter what her mistakes the answer is how can this be made better... Sitting in judgement will not help. I guess that is the easy road to take.....

I guess that is the easy road to take.....She is not an "average parent" by any stretch of the imagination. And we should scrutinize her quite closely. I know I am the least politically correct of all my friends, including some in the forum, but I could care less about her in this particular case. My concern is for those poor little children that will grow up without a father, with an emotionally unstable, unemployed and unavailable mother and with the odds stacked against them from the get go because of the selfishness of their mother and the recklessness of a physician that should have his license yanked. Sorry sister, we can call it judgment, assessment, opinion or diagnosis; the facts speak for themselves. We have to be able to digest the truth and call the kettle black if it is so.

prospectmom Posted March 5, 2009 Report Share Posted March 5, 2009 but I could care less about her. How sad...... I think finding answers to the situation would be far more productive than all the bashing. For the record I do not agree or even fathom how all this is ok in her mind... Now it is what it is and the best course of action would be for what can be done to help all in this situation..... She won't be able to sneeze without it being subject to an opinion by somebody...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She is not asking for help. She is asking to dump on us and abdicating her responsibility.You should feel bad for the children not her.

I would hope that this extreme situation would not lead to dumb laws like England and Sweden have in regards to regulating fertility treatment and allowing the state to pry into the affiars of individuals desperately seeking to have children.

I think that we are responsible to judge her for the sake of her children, all children deserve a home where they are safe and have all of their needs met. Having children intentionally when these conditions are not met is selfish and irresponsible. The children are the most important in this case and i do agree a solution should be found to provide for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is the worse moment to try and do anything about it. Time for assessment, analysis, insights and consultation should be allowed to work itself into a coherent picture and determine what, if any, should be done.This case may just be an aberration and nothing should be done about it.
