Original Octuplet Fam -- All Growed Up

1. I wonder... no one has mentioned the name of the family. The dr's, the hospital all named, but the family? Could they be...ILLEGAL??!

2. Illegal, nope. Welfare recipient, never married and had OTHER children before she had this latest litter. This madness needs to END! Who the f*** is going to support these damn kids when she can't even support herself. And Who the F*** paid for her invitro? And yes, another minority, because they can't breed them fast enough, it's a recession, y'all and more babies equals more government money. Get that woman a bailout! Quick. F***tards!

Absolutely unbelievable! And the media is acting like this is some pleasant little coincidence?

4. Nobody Important...what are you talking about. Chukwu was not a single parent, she was married, her husband was the father. No article mentioned any financial difficulty they had. They did use fertility treatments.

5. The only reason the Chukwu's even have 8 children is because daddy worked at a hospital and STOLE THE FERTILITY DRUGS. Yes, having 8 children is admirable, but Mrs. Chukwu neglected any type of prenatal care, and hid her pregnancy until there were medical problems.

They've had their 15 minutes, but they need to end quickly. Nothing against the kids, but mom and dad are thieves.

Some of us just want a kid and can't get one because of doctor's and pharma's greed, and we don't have friends to steal drugs for us. I'll take 8 kids any day. It's better than none for me!

7. ALL I GOTS TO SAY IS DAMNNNNNNNNNN THATS WAY TOO MANY KIDS

8. Radio saying mom already has FIVE kids! Probably remaining anonymous while they negotiate pics, mag covers & reality series. These kids will have so many health issues and we'll be picking up the tab. How 'bout adoption; cheaper than infertitility treatments. Even five is too many - radio said they were in-vitro, too. Paper not confirming if Mom's a Kaiser patient, even. Wonder what the real bill is, while people can't get insurance, let alone pay rent, etc. They'll be showered w/corporate goodies, while the companies are laying people off. (A car, diapers, bottles, housing)

9. Uh, TMZ, as far as the Texas family goes, one baby died and seven survived.

This stupidity about "minorities" and "illegals" is rubbish. The family chooses to remain anonymous. Respect their wishes.

Are multiple births only a treasured gift from God when the family is white, Christian and mid-western? I think not.

10. A child is a blessing from God. It doesn't matter how many. God could have easily put one baby in Mrs. Chukwu's belly and this new anonymous mother of 8, but he put 8 babies in there.
All you bashers and haters saying all this stuff about welfare, poverty and race, y'all need to get a life. What do you have to say about the Duggar family? I guess it is okay for them to have 18 children because they are WHITE!! They also got help from big time corporations and donations and all waht not. So why not bash them?
Shame on you all.

11. The fifteen minutes of fame this family is enjoying is nothing compared to that of 'Jon and Kate Plus Eight' if there was any family who I wish to see nothing of ever again it would be them. 4 years in front of the cameras is more than enough, I wish the network would take a hint and take this show off the air already, and leave the poor kids alone...

12.

THis is breaking news ! TMZ CHECK THIS !!!!!!! This NEW MOTHR OF EIGHT WAS ATTEMPTING TO GET CARE BEFOR ETHE BIRTHS AT A WHITTIER HOSP> THEY TURNED HER AWAY AS THEY DID NOT HAVE THE ABILITY TO CARE FOR SEVEN FETUSES AT ONE TIME....

She is a single mother living with her parents .... She is on welfare and maybe an illegeal ,,, SHE WENT TO MEXICO TO GET THE IN VITRO FERTILIZATION !!!!!!!! POSSIBLY HISPANIC...

13. While a child might be considered a "blessing from god" - Eight children come courtesy of a lab and a syringe. This should be illegal. It's gross.

14. Hey Mattie, you communist.

The Duggar's had 18 children NOT in a single pregnancy, so they didn't RECKLESSLY endanger the lives of their children by playing Russian roulette. Further, they take NO GOVERNMENT funds whatsoever.

But Octuplet mom already had 6 and lives with her parents. Yeah, sounds really responsible to use fertility drugs for another litter.

Cats are designed for birthing 8 healthy babies, not women - which is why these stories result in catastrophic outcomes nearly every time.

I guess your god decides to bring children into this world to face poverty and lifelong physical and mental disability - is that what you're saying?

Idiot!

15. Did the news say that she was on welfare? And if she was on welfare, how could she afford to get invertro? and exactly, y does it have to be so negative if she is a minority? no one's talking badly about Jon & Kate plus 8 or the family that has 18 kids and probably more to come.
