This story has infuriated me and made me so sad at the same time. If you haven’t heard some woman gave birth to 8 babies. In and of itself newsworthy cause holy cow its 8 babies! Oh but the story doesn’t end here…this particular mom, I hate even giving her that word, so let’s say this particular woman already had 6 kids ranging in age from 2 to 7 and one of the children has Autism. Yes you heard me right this gal already has 6 kids now giving her a grand total of 14. Here let me list the things that infuriate and sadden me…

NO PARTNER – that’s right; she is a single mother of 14 by CHOICE. No husband, boyfriend or life partner. She chose to be a mother of 14 with no additional parent. There are many wonderful single parents out there who found themselves in that position, but that is not what they wanted to happen they started out with a partner and they will be the first to tell you how hard it is to be a single parent. However they didn’t consciously sit down and say give me IVF with a chance of having multiple births while I already have 6 kids and oh by the way I am already a single parent, but that is exactly what this woman did. ughhhhhhhh!!


IVF – What freaking doctor thought this was a good idea for this woman? She already has 6 children and wanted IVF for more??? She doesn’t have a job, and lives off of welfare.. Hellooooooo red flag, red flag!! Look I am for welfare when used properly, but this gal in my opinion is not using it properly. I understand there are no laws against a doctor giving IVF to a woman who already has 6 kids. But how about the ethics of it all? How about we think about the children for once? Seriously if I was an IVF doctor and she came to me the answer would have been a big fat NO. ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!


THE SELFISHNESS OF IT ALL – This is my favorite…you know why this woman wanted so many children? Because she was an only child and resented it. Oh and she loves children. Really are you freaken kidding me, you had this many children because you were lonely growing up, WOW! I have heard it all now. So what she is doing is assigning a job already to her children and assuming that they would have felt the same way she did growing up if they didn’t have 14 siblings?? Do you see how damn crazy this is????? And by the way lady…there are lots of people who love children but they don’t go out selfishly and have them the way you have.

We don’t have children to be our retirement plan, we don’t have children to fill a void we had as children, we don’t have children to save a relationship, we don’t have children just to carry on the family name, we don’t have children so they will take care of us when we are old, we don’t have children just because everyone else you know is having them, we don’t have children because we are lonely and we sure as shit don’t have children because we need to be loved. We have them to give them our love whether they reciprocate it or not. We have them because the desire is so strong to raise them into what they are meant to be not what we think they are meant to be. Jesus they are not dolls, toys or little dogs. They are humans with their own souls and we are their teachers, providers, protectors and ultimately we are not to be needed by them if our job is done properly as we watch them go from their cocoon and then fly off as beautiful butterflies. For the sake of this woman’s children please keep them in your prayers so they will have a fighting chance to become what God has planned for them, and that my friends will help this to be A Wonderful Life.
