Octuplets mom gets TV, book offers to tell story

LOS ANGELES – The mother of the world's longest-living octuplets is being deluged with offers for book deals, TV shows and other business proposals, but has not decided what she might do other than care for her children, her newly hired spokeswoman said Monday.

Hundreds of requests have been made since Nadya Suleman gave birth to six boys and two girls a week ago, said Joann Killeen, president of Killeen Furtney Group, a public relations company.

"She's the most sought after mom in the world right now," Killeen said. "Everyone wants to talk to her."

But Suleman, who remained hospitalized with her children Monday at Kaiser Permanente's Bellflower Medical Center, hasn't decided what she'll do next, Killeen said.

Some of the deals and requests for interviews involve offers to pay, said Killeen and her partner, Mike Furtney. They didn't reveal the amounts being offered, but Killeen noted that raising eight babies will be expensive, adding that Suleman plans to carefully review her financial opportunities.

"Right now her top priority is to be the best mom she can be to all her children," she said. "She's hired us to manage all of those opportunities."

The spokeswoman discounted some published reports that Suleman had already decided to host a television show on parenting. But she added that Suleman does want to eventually tell her story to the world.

"As soon as she's able, she will tell her story, and it's an amazing story," she said.

Suleman, a 33-year-old single mother, already had six children, ages 2 to 7 when she gave birth to her octuplets on Jan. 26.

Her babies continue to grow stronger, the hospital said in a statement Monday. It wasn't immediately known when the octuplets or their mother would be released from the hospital. At the time of the births, doctors said the babies would stay about two months.

"This has been a very good week for the babies. It is always satisfying to be able to see a baby that was born premature continue to get stronger every day," said Dr. Mandhir Gupta, a neonatologist at the hospital.

In seven other documented octuplet births, at least one of the babies died within a week. The world's first live octuplets, born in 1967 in Mexico City, all died within 14 hours.

The first set of U.S. octuplets was born to Nkem Chukwu of Texas on Dec. 20, 1998. A week later, the tiniest infant died of heart and lung failure. The surviving seven siblings celebrated their 10th birthday in December.

Suleman retained the Killeen Furtney Group to represent her last Friday. Furtney said the company, which normally handles corporate clients and crisis public relations, was referred to her by the hospital. Its clients include the Union Pacific Railroad and the California State Parks Department.

Suleman's mother told The Associated Press last week that her daughter has always loved children and had wanted to be a mother since her teens.

Suleman had all 14 of her children through in vitro fertilization, according to her mother, Angela Suleman, who is caring for the other six while her daughter is hospitalized.

Six kids already and just had eight more no husband all alone what the fuck was she thinking.   Just of  reasonable means .  What kind of lives will they grow with and what type of doctor would do it and why to see if they can.  They will be ward of the state before long

At least they seem to have ample means to support them, but how do you give each child the attention they need? Then what if one of those kids has special needs? WTF

One of her older six kids is autistic.  Now she will have fourteen kids.

Apparently, she had frozen embryos left over from her earlier in vitro fertilization and she didn't want them to be destroyed, so she had them all implanted.  The number of embryos implanted was less than eight, but some of them multiplied, according to her mother.  She was offered the option of selective reduction, but she does not believe in abortions, so she refused.

Nope, thought the website was bad enough when I found it.

You would think that it would be better for her to find a way to whore herself for attention that does not "create victims."

After reading of this on several sites, it is the fourteen innocents for whom my stale sorrow begins to quiver again.

Woman I used to work with had 2 daughters, all both could ever talk about was having kids and being a mother.

The oldest ended up having 5 kids to 2 different men, then found a 3rd guy who wanted a child of his own, but not the 5 she had already.

The youngest who had quite a few autistic traits, married, & ended up having 2 boys who were autistic, and then 2 more before she had a breakdown and gave up custody of them all.

The dad has custody of the 2 autistic boys, and grandma is trying to raise the other 7 kids.

But for a good chunk of human history, 14 kids or more was common. Why does it create such an outrage now?

[TheoK]

It was common to wipe yourself with the hands after a shit on the Swedish countryside as late as in the 1930s...it was also common to use spit as an emulgator for meatballs.

Yup. But it wasn't regarded as nasty then. It was actually believed that the spit made the meatballs juicy and tasty.

 History is just that history then it was an agricultural society all those little hands put to work at an early age.  Outrage now is that she has no means of support even her mom is moving out when the babies come home.  I have three of my own and one young ward(Batman reference ) and it's tough at times to make ends meet wtf is she going to do

Aside from the fact that she, her older kids and her latest litter will most likely have to be supported by our tax dollars, the most important reason NOT to have fourteen kids is that the earth itself is over populated with humans by a factor of at least ten, already.

[Pyraxis]

I just don't think it's cool that the media and everyone are suddenly hounding her to death. She clearly wanted her privacy or she would have given out her name to begin with.

They will pay for her children, though, by the sound of it.

Surgeons used sawdust and no cleaning regulations years ago when performing various operations. Do that now and not only you'll get shitloads of pus flying out of your stitches, but the health inspectors would have a field day.

Just because they did it then doesn't justify doing it now.
