Octuplets' Mom Accepts Angels in Waiting Offer of Help

Octuplet mom Nadya Suleman has decided to accept the offer of help Gloria Allred and the nonprofit group Angels in Waiting presented to her a few weeks back.

A statement from the Dr. Phil Show released on Monday said, "Angels in Waiting initially will be providing around the clock services of skilled neonatal intensive care nurses who specialize in premature infant developmental care. Psychological and physical early therapies to help enhance all of the children's growth and well-being will also be provided."

Under the agreement between Nadya Suleman and the philanthropic foundation Angels in Waiting, she and all 14 of her children will live together in a new home near her current one in suburban Los Angeles, a spokeswoman for McGraw said.

Pictures of her new $564,900 house in the city of La Habra can be found here at the Orange County Register.

Her father has bought the Octomom a four-bedroom, three-bath home with a huge master bedroom, a walk-in closet and a large backyard. The house is listed through Mike Patel of Prudential Realty in Anaheim Hills in the O.C. The closing should be later this week.

Nadya Suleman is having publicist problems again - her second one, Victor Munoz, has just quit, calling her "nuts" and "greedy."

She will be making her first appearance in front of an audience Tuesday on the Dr. Phil Show, and Wednesday the show will be visiting the babies at the hospital. They are six weeks old now, and some are due to go home very soon.

She is definitely crazed...

It's almost like she bought some dolls and are now establishing a doll-house to keep them in, while imaginary friends take care of them. The main target must be to nurse and look out for her poor kids, however, so they can grow up and have a normal life. It looks like real Angels will take care of that for her - they have my sincere respect!

Well, here's a bit of good news for our troubled lives and times !

I must commend Gloria Allred, even though she has all the publicity she needs. That gives her the additional clout to get positive results once again.

C'mon!

Just look at the photo! That woman is as false as anyone can get.

Just give her the money she thinks she needs, whatever, but, most of all, please let's just get her off the screens and front pages for chrissakes!

She's a real nasty piece of work. I'll be glad when she crawls back into the hole she came from. Rich or not.

I'm sure she shouldn't be encouraged with the purchase of a new house for her.

I know what you mean Amyjudd,

but I honestly think the planet should just give her what she wants, money, jewels, crowns, and the whole bit, whatever the hell she wants!!, and let her sink into anonymous oblivion somewhere in Boca Raton or a not-quite-rich-enough apartment overlooking-or-nearly Central Park.

I don't really care. Just get her out of the picture.

This obscene and debasing saga has gone on long enough.......

I feel that the Angels in Waiting program has a good track record and excellent intentions. They are not trying to make money off of these babies, but to nurture them in the best way possible. Let them set this program up for Nadia and her family. They will be in an excellent position to see how Nadia ineracts with all of these children, how much of her time is lovingly given to those babies. The babies need this special time to be nurtured in a special way and Angel in Waiting appears able to provide this. Angels in waiting will be in a good position to see just how sincere Nadia is about loving these children. If she is crazy (which I think she is), then the family and children services will need to be involved. But in the meantime these babies have recieved the special nurturing and love that they need for their development.
