Hatred toward a Woman

Are people really this hateful? I'm blown away by the HATE people are voicing toward Nayda Suleman, the mother of the beautiful Octuplets who were born on January 26th,2009. Why is everyone so willing to openly judge this woman? To yell at her, call her horrific, the devil

This women had an atopic pregnancy around the age of 22... now I only know about this from classes in college and from hearing from mothers who have dealt with this, but an atopic pregnancy is not something that's taken lightly and certainly is painful physically and emotionally. I just wonder if the people who are hearing her story are grasping that this is what lead originally to her turning to IVF?

I don't have an opinion of this woman, and the reason is: she has FOURTEEN CHILDREN WHO NEED OUR PRAYERS. I don't think it's brilliant or resposible to be single and have 14 children, but this woman and her children are now brought to the forefront of our world, and it is our place to pray for people who we know are in need, am I wrong about this?

I guess my heart breaks for these children pretty easily. The children didn't choose their mother, they didn't choose to be criticized and starred at by a microscope held by the media. I know this woman doesn't "deserve" to be given hand outs to "justify" having so many children, but she does deserve to be treated like a human, and a mother of 14 children, 8 of which are in need of medical help to continue to grow and mature positively. I say it all the time, it is not our place to judge others. Each one of these beautiful babies were created by God- not in the natural way, but they were created by Him and are His children. Please don't forget that if you take some time to just watch the first minute of the video and see the babies.




If you have a desire to pray for each of these children by name here they are:
The older children- Elijah, Amira, Joshua aka JJ, Aiden(He is autistic), Calissa, Caleb(ages 7 down to twins 2yo)
Octuplets- (A)Noah, Johan, (D)Mariah, (C)Isaiah, (F)Jeremiah, Makai, Malia, and Josiah

They need all the prayers that they can get! Please do not be like some people and choose judgement over compassion.

In His Name,


"I do believe that children are blessings from God."-Nayda
