On January 26, 2022, the world marked the 13th birthday of the surviving octuplets born in the U.S. on January 26, 2009. Delivered via cesarean section, the six boys and two girls brought international attention to their mother, Nadya Suleman, a single parent raising all 14 of her children without a father. Suleman claims her doctor misled her, transferring 12 embryos that led to their IVF conception, a case that tightened U.S. IVF regulations and cost the doctor his medical license.
Known as “Octomom,” Nadya faced both praise and criticism, using her story for income through reality shows while maintaining her love for her children. Today, the Suleman family leads a modest but happy life. Nadya, a vegan advocate, often shares glimpses of their lives on social media, showcasing their health and unity despite past challenges.
