Isn't there some kind of questionnaire at the clinic?

How did she pay for the fertility treatments? Are they covered under MediCal too?

Shawnee123 · 01-30-2009, 11:49 AM

Seriously.

Pisses me off even if she were in a stable marriage and had cash...it's irresponsible, and I bet she thinks that is her only purpose in life.

Her oldest kid is around 7, I think, which means she could be as young as 20.

Shawnee123 · 01-30-2009, 11:53 AM

Someone should glue her legs together.

Looks like the "fertility treatment" wasn't just drugs, it was implanted embryos. Given her previous fertility success, I'm betting this means dad is dead, in jail, had nut cancer, or is somehow incapacitated on the sperm front, and they had saved some with the intent of having a baby together.

I found a family portrait. Artist's rendition.

Looks like it could be a kindergarten class.

Do a time progression: some of the kids should be robbing a Stop and Go...a couple crack ho's, and a priest.

classicman · 01-30-2009, 12:30 PM

Its all good - we'll all be paying to support them - Isn't that grand. Makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside...

Like I'm about to Puke!

Clodfobble · 01-30-2009, 03:38 PM

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:

Quote:

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.

She's going to need the Partridge Family bus just to get around.

sugarpop · 01-31-2009, 08:03 AM

This kind of crap seriously pisses me off. There are too many damn people on the planet as it is, and this woman pops out EIGHT BABIES, when she already has SIX KIDS? What kind of doctor would give fertility treatment to someone who already has SIX KIDS?

I'm sorry, but some people should just be shot. That kind of thinking needs to be taken out of the food chain. We are not dogs and cats having puppies and kittens. The doctor who gave her fertility treatments should also be shot.

Shawnee123 · 01-31-2009, 08:59 AM

I love kids. I'm like every kid's aunt (I've had 22 years experience IRL.)

But yeah, this lady ticks me off too. Is hoarding children under the realm of hoarding illnesses in the DSM IV? I only have the III.

wolf · 01-31-2009, 09:58 AM

Hoarding cats isn't in the Big Book of Crazy, either.

Shawnee123 · 01-31-2009, 10:18 AM

Big book of crazy...lol.

In your professional opinion, should it be? In the big book I mean?

DanaC · 01-31-2009, 11:02 AM

Doesn't somebody have a duty to do a background check before going ahead with a procedure like that?
