Well, it appears that the mother of the brand new 8 babies is a SINGLE mom who lives with her mother, and she already has 6 other kids at home. Now totaling 14 babies - we can skip Jon & Kate Plus 8 - she is making her way towards competing with The Duggar Family!

At 33-years-old, she has a Bachelor’s degree and is currently working on a Master’s degree. She also doesn’t appear to be receiving any public assistance. So, how does she do it? Also, it seems as if she was paid for the fertility treatment…I am intrigued by this situation. Ethical questions are also being tossed around with her situation. How in-depth should the screening process be for the use of fertility treatment? What are your thoughts?

I found this pretty interesting! Here’s a link to some amazing births. From the 70-year old woman in India who gave birth last month to a baby girl to other moms out in the world who have done some amazing things. Examples - One mom is the surrogate of triplets for her daughter (kinda like Phoebe from Friends) while another mom gives birth to a baby on 8-8-08, at 8:08a and weighed (guess what) - 8lbs, 8oz! Go figure. For more amazing births - click here.
