Interesting bits about this instance
- she spent an estimated $100K for the IVF procedures just to get those babies, which came from roughly $165K in disability payments from an on the job back injury in 2006
- She owes $50K in student loans
- obviously cannot support these children adeqautely
- Three of her previous 6 children are handicapped

People like the Duggars are an excellent example of fiscal and financial responsibility - they have are raising 18 children all birthed naturally and along the way have achieved a debt free life after struggling and paid for everything with their money.

This woman reminds of the Jon & Kate Gosling situation, I cannot watch that show where they are living a life that they could not afford in any way at all without TLC making them reality show stars for no better reason than havong 8 kids.

My initial reaction was overwhelmingly negative and has not changed. The only positive note is that all 8 children are healthy so far
Not following any indepth coverage, just read 2 or 3 news articles
