Single mother of octuplets Nadya Suleman faces an audience for the first time as she sits down with Dr. Phil to discuss the rampant rumors: the million-dollar offer to star in a pornographic video, her frantic 911 calls, the departure of her second spokesperson and the alleged sale of the octuplets’ birth video. Plus, hear about exciting new developments in the care of Nadya’s 14 children. Go inside Dr. Phil’s private meeting with the octuplets mom, attorney Gloria Allred and the founders of Angels in Waiting, a non-profit organization that has offered professional wrap-around care for all 14 of Nadya’s children. Will Nadya accept the help? And, Nadya has a new house, but this family’s needs are far from met. With the first of the octuplets ready to leave the hospital soon, will Nadya and her new home be ready in time? And, don’t miss the continuation of this two-part special on Wednesday, when Dr. Phil meets the octuplets and delivers a big surprise for Nadya. Tell us what you think!

Find out what happened on the show.

03/10 Octuplets: Breaking News

Quote From: robbygordonfan

ANSWER THIS AND ALL OF US WILL SHUT UP AND LEAVE HER ALONE.

___________________________________________________________

WHO...WHO SAVED UP AND USED GOVERNMENT ASSISTANCE TO RETRIEVE , STORE AND THEN HAVE HER EGGS IMPLANTED INSTEAD OF FIXING UP AND CLEANING HER HOME? A HOME THAT HER MOTHER WAS MAKING THE MORTGAGE PAYMENTS ON. ---IF! IF HER MOTHER "REALLY DID" FALL BEHIND BECAUSE SHE COULD NO LONGER AFFORD TO MAKE THEM , THEN WHY DIDN'T THIS LOVING CARING SMART OctoNUT MOMMY WHO LOVES AND CARES FOR HER CHILDREN SO SOOOO MUCH HELP HER MOTHER MAKE THOSE PAYMENTS SO THAT THE HOME DOES NOT GO INTO FORCLOSURE LIKE IT DID? HMMMM? WHY? WHY WASN'T THIS "RESPONSIBLE" GROWN UP WOMAN PAYING RENT SO THAT HER MOTHER COULD PAY THE MORTGAGE?

HOW IS OctoNUTS CREDIT? WHY COULDN'T SHE GO OUT AND RENT A HOME FROM A STRANGER?

WHY DID HER DADDY HAVE TO STEP UP AND COME FORWARD AND GET HER THIS HALF MILLION DOLLAR HOME?

WHY A HOME THAT COSTS MORE THAN A HALF MILLION DOLLARS? WHERE IS HER SENSE OF RESPONSIBILITY OR GOOD SENSE OF JUDGEMENT HERE?

WHY NOT GET A HOME THAT'S LESS THAN $150,000? DID SHE STRIKE AN ENDORSEMENT DEAL WITH NIKE. ----PUT THE FOURTEEN KIDS IN OUR SHOES AND HERE'S $$$

WE THE TAXPAYERS , THE NEWS WATCHERS AND THE INTERNET USERS DID NOT IMPLANT THOSE EGGS , DID NOT MAKE HER GET A PUBLICIST AND DID NOT PUT HER ON TV AND MAKE HER OPEN HER MOUTH AND TELL LIES!

BUT!!!...... WE WILL BE WATCHING THE NEWS , THE INTERNET AND WE WILL BE WAITING AND ANTICIPATING FOR ALL OF THIS ---BS ---TO GO WRONG---- AND WE WILL SAY VERY LOUDLY WE KNEW IT! ------WE TOLD YOU SO AND NOW YOU GET WHAT'S COMING TO YOU!!!!!!!!! KARMA!!!

"...seems like a lovely woman and a good mother..." --????? What is lovely about a woman who had six kids she was struggling to take care of, yet convinced a 'doctor' (I use that description loosely!) to once again impregnate her with not one but SIX embryos.....????? To me instead of lovely, that is a cry for mental health assistance. Not to mention she had plans to finance all this with loans for education...and taxpayer funds, I'm sure. It will not be long before we will see a reality show with these poor, innocent children being exploited. And, likely we will see more of this by other women who want to have everything given to them...all in the name of helping the children. Nadya is living her dream...all the children, all the 'stuff'...and all the time to play with and kiss her children (no job!), And many other moms and dads are out there working their ___es off to try to provide the necessities for one, two, or three kids!!! God bless them...and God bless the couples who only dream of having one child, but are unable to make that happen.

Let's not forget about the kids

Although I'm disappointed that this woman is getting so much attention for a HORRIBLE decision, let's not blame or forget about the kids. They always say that it takes a village to raise a child, but in this case it's going to take many villages, and we all need to stay positive for the children. It's unfortunate that these kids are stuck in this situation, I just hope they get good care, and grow up with more brains than their mother.

The other thing to remember is the IDIOT doctor who agreed to implant all the embryo's what the heck was that "doctor" thinking?! They need to do some digging and learn a little more information about this whole crazy idea! Prosecute the darn doctor and take away their license! I can't believe what is going on in the world these days! How anyone thinks it's a good idea to give someone with 6 children 8 more is beyond me!

Shame on both of you Nadya, and "Doctor"

Then help her

Quote From: agape9

Everyone needs to get down off of their high horse and stop judging this woman. Her choices.... Her Kids..... She is being portrayed horribly in the media and it is not right. I think it was wrong for Angels in waiting to bully Nada into excepting their help with the threat of Gloria Allred and calling CPS. It is her right to choose who ever she wants to help her and her children . It is not Dr. Phill's right or the media's right to impose their point of view of how these children should be cared for onto this mother. It is CPS job to assess the risk and safety of children. What is risk? foreseeable danger...in the future...what is safety? Imminent danger....danger that's ocurring now...... As far as I can see, there are no safety concerns at this time as she has secured a new home and she had some people who were willing to help her.... CPS can not remove children based on risk alone..... As long as she secures reliable help......It is nobody's business. Yes, I care about the well being of these children, but , I also care about this woman's right to parent her children without criticism and judgement from others. She seems like a lovely woman and a good mother. I'm sure she'll raise them well. Until she gives people a reason to go after her children to try and take them away.... leave her alone.

Nadya has shown me absolutely no reason to feel that she's responsible enough or smart enough to raise all her 14 children with MUCH public assistance. I'm wondering why you think she's so capable?

If she had a brain or any sense of responsibility at all, she "might" have had one child, but fourteen???? That's preposterous. Since you think she's so capable, just how much money have you sent her to help with the gigantic debt she'll owe society? Taxpayers, whether they want to or not, will pay the millions of dollars it'll take to raise & care for these children.

03/10 Octuplets: Breaking News

Quote From: brattnurse

How can you not be mad that we are supporting these children. She did this of here on free will and chose to do this. It isn't right that she paid her own money then expects that we the American people to support her and the children. She isn't raising these children alone and struggling she isn't even raising her children as it is her mother is. So don't say she has the right to raise these children without criticism due to the fact that anyone that goes to work is the ones paying the bills. It would be a different story if she hadn't had any children and along came the eight but no she had six children already at home which is more than most families could handle. By the way CPS can take children away from some one for risk alone. If they are exposed to a potential risk you wouldn't leave them there just because that bad thing hadn't happened yet.

We already support hundreds of childen and families a year who are on welfare or other types of government assisstance due to many different circumstances, so 6-14 more is not going to make a difference. I get that she was irresponsible in her desicion making and I understand why everyone is so angry, but she is human and she made an error in judgment. We all have at one time or another in our lives. The children are here now. If people want to help her, do it....If not, leave her alone and let her be a mother to her children. I do not believe that she should be made to feel guilty about asking for help nor should she be bullied into excepting help that she may not necessarily want. Having people in your personal space 24 hours a day with the sole purpose of monitoring your every move while helping with the babies to make the American people feel like the "children" is being protected is the most ridiculous thing that I have ever heard. As long as she is not and have not harmed those children, does not have a history of physical abuse to a minor child it is not America's business what she does.....

By the way....I have a Masters Degree in Social Work and I have been working for CPS for many years...So, again, childen can not be removed from a home based on RISK alone!!! there is a lot more that goes into removing children. If a child/children is /are exposed to potential risk we "CPS" would monitor the family by making them participate in voluntary or involuntary services or we may work with them to put a safety plan into place to alleviate the current risk etc.....if the current risk can not be alleviated and it becomes a safety issue (imminent danger) than removal maybe necessary. There is a misconception in the public that CPS workers are "baby snatchers" , We are not. Our main goal is to protect children and to keep families together, if possible.

So please, only speak on what you know to be true....not on what you think......

Nadya

I am pissed that Dr. Phil is doing all this stuff for Nadya!!! For pete's sake- there are how many honest, hard working people out in this world that need help.. Nadya choose this stupid decision on purpose. She knew she would get all this attention and money...!! She's not stupid. And she knew that someone would come to her aid and help her with ALL of her children.. She knew she would be home free.. Free to do what ever she wants because someone else will be caring for her crew!!! She is selfish and crazy.!!!

Dr. Phil, it's great you want to be the good guy and help these babies, but there are other people in the US that could use a food drive, ect... I'm sorry, but Nadya doesn't deserve a DAMN thing!!! She needs to figure this mess out on her own. She created it......

everone needs to stop judging

I think the way some of the citizen's that live in America are unreal. I think that people need to stop judging her for having so many kids! She wants a big family who cares that is her decision. God loves her. Her living off the system has everyone says . It shouldn't matter where people get there money from. That service is there for her. Half of yous people understand that she has a part of her bachelors degree in university. I am on disability and I would never think that I was getting my money from someone else's check. I am very happy that American companies are helping her and her family. I am proud of Dr. Phil for helping her. She is an amazing woman for making a big family. I think if the people that criticize her are the ones that wish they were in her shoes. I think in life if you have nothing good to say then don't say it at all. I am a single mother of 2 children and would wish that I could have more, but due to medical problems I can't.

Nadya

I guess one is rewarded for bad choices and bad behavior. This woman is clearly nuts, I feel incredibly sorry for all her children, the tax payers. the people donating their money and time and all the people believing one word that comes out of her mouth. I have always plan my day around, "The Dr. Phil Show" but now??? Millions of Americans need help with caring for their children, where is the help for them? It seems Nadya got it all, what worries will she have - none?

Octuplets

Quote From: pmazurek

I watch the Dr. Phil on a somewhat regular basis-- I am interested in most of the subjects that are addressed, however, I am bothered immensely at the fact that you (Dr. Phil) are promoting or even advertising the "Oct-Mom". Being a triplet, I have some idea of the extent to which multiples can effect a family. I am irritated that you are supporting this woman because not only does she have her hands full with many other children that she can't support, she is on welfare. It's people like her who ultimately have to be supported by the taxpayers or by the people who have health insurance and are responsible for paying the medical bills (with higher costs of insurance). I think you should be reprimanding this woman's entire situtation and behavior instead of condoning it and exploiting it. I have no sympathy for Oct-Mom and believe that there should be regulations on who can be pumped full of fertility drugs.

Dr. Phil-- I am dissappointed that you are even inviting this woman to be on your show.

I watch your show faithfully, but I have had enough of the mother of 14 babies. She is looking for attention and she certainly is receiving it especially from Dr Phil. It is impossible to give 14 children under the age of eight the right kind of love and nurturing they need. Have you ever read the book "Cheaper by the Dozen about a family of twelve. They were spaced so that each older child took care of the younger counterpart, not the best solution but it worked. How can this woman expect to take care of 14 babies and she going to continue to have more just for the attention. I think these babies should be put up for adoption. There are at least 8 couples out there to give them the love and nurturing they need. They should not be expected to make their mother happy.

Tired of bailouts

I watch Dr. Phil all the time, I take his advice on marriage, parenting, etc. Right now I am so disappointed in his support for the octuplets and their mother. This woman, knowingly, had nothing to offer these children, no money, father, adequate housing for all her children, and she CHOSE to have them anyway. Now, just like all the other bailouts going on, she gets, a new house, nurses, furniture, who knows what else. I am a mother of three, MARRIED, and my husband and I work our buts off to make sure our kids have everything they need and right now we are struggling to make ends meet. We have earned everything we have by working for it and not asking for handouts and she comes along and gets rewarded for having babies she can't take care of. I am so disgusted in everyone, including Dr. Phil of all people, who support this woman. What will happen a few years from now when she decides to have more? Why should she stop now? Look at everything she has been given......
