Living as a mom

Archive for February 25th, 2009

I’m sure that you have heard all about the “OctoMom”, Nadya Suleman, in California. It truly is a medical achievement to conceive and deliver eight babies who appear to be doing well. Now Suleman has fourteen children to raise – on her own. Ann Curry interviewed Suleman recently.

Say what you will about Nadya Suleman, but she is articulate and seems to love her children. I just wonder how she will do it. Moms everywhere know how difficult it is to raise a couple of children with a spouse. I cannot imagine the challenges Suleman has ahead of her while raising this many children, three of whom she already knows have disabilities and octuplets who could possibly also have disabilities. She will certainly need financial and emotional support.

Will you join me in praying for this family?
