Weeeell... I think it was irresponsible of her as well, but I have to say, I don't think this is a poor family on any kind of assistance. The mother's parents seem to be pretty well-off. Aside from what looks like a decent-sized home in Southern California, they say they're going to live in a second house once the babies can leave the hospital:

But the grandfather warned that media may have a tougher time finding the family after the babies are released from the hospital.

"We have a huge house, not here," said the man, who would only identify himself as Ed. "You are never going to know where it is."
They also can apparently afford to hire the nanny who was interviewed. The article has since been updated to say that they're not actually sure whether it was implanted embryos or egg-stimulation drugs, but even the drugs are still pretty expensive and not covered by insurance. Poor people usually get knocked up the old fashioned way.
