Adoption May Be Option for Octuplets: Grandma

Grandmother wants her life back

(Newser) – Adoption may be an option for Nadya Suleman's octuplets if she can't care for them properly, her mom revealed in an interview with The Insider. "If I could see that she would not be able to take of them financially, I would opt for this," said Angela Suleman, reports Us. While grandma emphasized that she loves all 14 of her grandchildren dearly, their care is overwhelming, she complained. "I can't just live for my daughter, I have my own life," she said.

Single mom Nadya lives on disability payments with her mother, who is facing foreclosure on her home. While Angela is considering adoption as a possible solution to the family's problems, she doesn't believe Nadya would agree to it. But her daughter is concerned Kaiser Permanente will not release the octuplets until she can prove she's capable of caring for them.

I would be willing to adopt 4 of the babies. My house is not big enough to take all of them. I am a license foster parent in the state of Michigan. I would love to rase these babies.

boo hoo hoo cry me a river"I can't just live for my daughter, I have my own life," she said." WTF??? Maybe I was raised different, but when my daughter was born, my life changed.....first and foremost is the health and happiness and upbringing of my daughter, second, is the health happiness and well being of my wife, all else comes after that. My wife feels the same...daughter number one, hubby next then herself.....together we get the job done.......pardon my invectives please.....but what a selfish bitch.....YOUR BABIES ARE NOW YOUR LIFE, THATS YOUR F-ING JOB, AND RESPONSIBILITY....THOSE PRECIOUS BABIES...TOO DAMN BAD....sorry...but I have a poor bs tolerance when it comes to the welfare of children.......Kaiser Permanente should remove those poor kids, if they are even the least bit concerned....sucks to be you lady
