I'm Livin' On Scraps!

Hmmm... did they take away the space for titling posts here on blogger? I don't see the title field anymore... ahhh well!

Anyway...

OKay... I have tried not to be vocal about my true feelings pertaining to "Octo-mom" and her babies. But as I keep watching report after report about them I keep getting more and more pissed off. These babies are innocent in all this, but Nadya is not... she knew she was playing with fire when she decided to have another 6 embryos implanted AT ONE TIME, knowing full well that she couldn't even support the 6 kids she currently had. So now there are 14 beautiful children and she has no suitable home for them. She has no vehicle capable of transporting them. She has no income to support her family, as she has no job. Including brain cells, I could continue to list more and more of what she is lacking. So today I'm watching Dr. Phil, who has become somewhat of an advocate for this lunatic. At the end of today's show he mentions that the time is approaching for some of the babies to be ready to leave, but that the hospital will not release them to the care of Nadya until there are suitable living arrangements for the babies and the rest of her family. Dr. Phil says that he knows that people do not agree with the actions of this mother and people are fed up, but he hopes that people won't forget that the babies are the ones who should not be ignored in all this mess. Well, it is a mess, and I don't think there is an easy solution. So what's gonna give? Who's gonna end up paying for this family? I don't know, but I really don't think that she should be able to exploit these precious babies and children. In my mind, I feel as though she has been looking for all the hand-outs she can possibly get and it's criminal! Maybe she should be made to forfeit her babies...put them up for adoption. I won't lie, that may sound harsh to make her give them up. I know, I'm just thinking this because I'm mad and I don't really want that for her, but I thought of it nontheless! I mean, I wouldn't want to be made to give up my own children myself. BUT...how is she ever going to be able to take care of them physically and financially all by herself? I just feel like she is so selfish!!

Yes, I can admit that I have problems with this situation in that it's so hard for me to comprehend that this woman was able to carry and bring into this world, not just one, but eight babies at one time. I have asked God many times why something so miraculous can happen to another woman, while I have struggled so much just to have the chance to try to have my own take home baby! I have not gotten any answer. I don't think I will understand any of this... why I was chosen to experience the loss of my own baby, not once, but three times. But I believe that God has a just plan for me in all this and that he's guiding me onto something more grand... something more than I could ever imagine. At least that is what I hope.
