Im not trying to be mean but why would you use fertility drugs if you already have 6 kids?
I understand the people who want the leave decisions to God (aka the Duggars) or people who use fertility drugs because they really want children... but i think if you have six consider yourself blessed and if you cant have anymore normally dont have them.
And HOW is a single mother going to support 14 children?!:yikes:

She is not admitting to fertility drugs, but really what are the Odds.... The article says no known cases without them!!!
On the other hand WHY? Why would you want even one more with 6 already....:rofl1:

Right now she's claiming she wants to remain "anonymous", however I'm sure that will end soon.
As for publicity, she's already received a lifetime supply of diapers, a lifetime supply of formula, and who knows what else is in the works.
But here's my problem with it all:
If she doesn't have a problem getting pregnant, then why the risk of fertility drugs? Why risk a child's wellbeing? Prematurity is often accompanied by a variety of negative effects even if they aren't severe. Low birth weight babies are often accompanied by a variety of negative health effects. Why risk that?
I don't know what her intentions were so I don't want to rush the gun here, but there's not a chance I would have done something like that without a husband/partner for support and the strong desire to raise a family on my own. Children are not meal tickets (despite what our government says). Children aren't cute little status symbols. They are children. They are to be loved and guided through this world so they can one day support themselves, make a life for themselves, and contribute back to society in various ways. A parent's goal is to do this no matter the cost and no matter the toll it takes on the parent's social life. IMO, once a child is born, that child comes first. But a child is never a publicity stunt.

Most probably your tax dollars.
Cole was only in the NICU & Special Care for 2 weeks. His bill was well over $100,000 and that was just for the hospital. That didn't include any of the neonatalogists, pediactric cardiologists, labs, etc. And trust me, those bill easily add up to almost another $100,000 and thanks to crummy insurance at the time, we paid $7,000 out of pocket and then some.

darn...that's what I was afraid of, lol.
I too wonder at her motives. One hates to think she was planning to adopt them to people and make money for herself. No...no that would be horrible...but why then...use fertility drugs...no way that happened naturally.
Do they all have the same father I wonder? Did they say anything about the dad?
