Most of us may be familiar with Nadya Suleman 13 years back. After all, her story was anything but the ordinary. It was an unimaginable idea that sparked controversy in the media and society at large. She received a lot of attention and criticism.
But a recent update from what the public referred to as “Octomom” has proven that things would always end up for the better. Before diving into it, let’s look back at Nadya’s claim to fame.
The Octomom
Nadya Suleman was called “Octomom” by most people because it is what made her famous. Eight embryos were created as a result of her in vitro fertilization (IVF) pregnancy! In addition to already having six children, that was.
When asked why she decided to have eight children, she said she didn’t expect to have that many embryos fertilized. All she cared about was saving her frozen eggs and taking them out since she was already paying for a lot.
In the public eye
Since then, Nadya was in the scrutiny of the public. She was already on government support with her six kids, and it raised people’s eyebrows to know she had eight more.
She worked several jobs, including reality shows and magazine picture shoots, to support all of her kids until she was forced over the brink and started making money off of adult videos. The biggest turning point in her life was that.
A moment of change
One day, Nadya saw one of her daughters wear one of the outfits or costumes she wore in those videos. It hit her that she would never want to see her daughter in the state she was in. That’s when she reached out for help.
Lawyers and therapists assisted her in climbing out of the hole she was in. To begin a fresh life, Nadya and the children relocated to the suburbs. She changed her spending as well so she wouldn’t have to worry about supporting her family.
13 years after
After more than a decade, Nadya proudly shared her octuplets’ first day in 8th grade. What a milestone for them, indeed. All the changes in their lives turned out to be something for the better.
She posted the photo on her Instagram account with a touching message for her kids. She said:
“First day of 8th grade. Be proud of yourselves, kids, for being kind, respectful, and helpful to all your fellow peers, teachers, and staff. You are exceptional role models to the 6th and 7th graders. I love you.”
People were amazed at the cute picture. “They’re growing up so fast,” one person wrote.
“I remember when you gave birth to these 8 babies,” another person said. “Wow! How time flies. I hope they all have a wonderful school year.”
Kids really do grow up way too fast, and we can’t even imagine dealing with eight 13-year-olds at once. We hope they have a good first week back at school!
Preparing them for the world
Nadya wasn’t the only one who made an effort to restore her life throughout those 13 years. She also did it for her kids. She trained their bodies to be healthier and taught them soft skills they should have as children, such as identifying emotions and feelings.
Their life took a complete turn for the better. Noah, Maliyah, Isaiah, Nariyah, Jonah, Makai, Josiah, and Jeremiah grew up adorable and kind children, and Nadya couldn’t be prouder.
