Sacrificing Social Life
Mother of 14, Natalie Suleman is in a much better place now enjoying quality time with her youngest children, the octuplets Makai, Josiah, Isaiah, Jonah, Maliyah, Jeremiah, Nariyah, and Noah. Natalie wants all her kids to be proud of their mother and the woman she has become. She didn’t want them to remember her as the persona “Octomom” she adopted for several years. “I was forced into doing things I didn’t want to do because I was so terrified I couldn’t support them and give them the life I deserved,” she lamented to Daily Mail. After overcoming all the trials and tribulations as a single mother of 14 trying to make ends meet, Natalie Suleman is as happy as ever and enjoys every little moment she enjoys with her nine-year-old vegan octuplets, as well as her six older kids from her first five rounds of IVF Elijah (17), Amerah (16), Joshua (14), Aiden (12), and 11-year old twins Calyssa and Caleb — who she dubs “omnivores.” In order to provide a more stable upbringing for them, she moved back to Laguna in Orange County, the place where she grew up herself.
