And...who ever made the decision to implant 8 embryos needs to be under investigation. That is irresponsible to both the babies and the mothers health. My guess is that with some of the very low birth weights these babies may very well have some life long health issues. Birth defects can happen to anyone but the risk increases with multiple births as in this case. I guess we'll just have to wait and see what the mother's reasoning was for have fertility treatments and the fertility centers reason for implanting so many.

Another thought of mine is comparing this situation to the other family. They did not bear all of these children. Most are adopted and have health issues. I have to give them "kudos" for taking these children under their roof and giving them what is probably a much better life life than what they had before. From the reports I've seen the kids all seem very happy and well adjusted. I don't know how they do it but I certainly admire them for the love they've given these kids.

I agree completely
