CNN is reporting that the California mother who recently gave birth to octuplets has six other children.  http://www.cnn.com/2009/HEALTH/01/30/mother.octuplets/index.html  The father of the octuplets is a contractor due to return to Iraq soon.  The mother received fertility treatments which contributed to the large number of children being born.  Thankfully the mother, who does not wish to be identified, has some help and support from her parents.  http://www.cnn.com/2009/HEALTH/01/30/mother.octuplets/index.html
 
When such a large number of children are born into a family it may become impossible for a family unit to support them.  Even with two working parents and a supportive family, most families will not be able to cope with the extreme needs of so many children.  There are options that parents with large numbers of children can look into ranging from grants, to government assistance, and even adoption.  Even when money is tight, it is important to speak to a family law professional to make sure that you are exploring all of your options.  Spending a few hours working with an expert may save you money in the long term.
