Nadya Suleman Accepts Nursing Offer

I guess Nadya Suleman saw which way the tide was turning (She isn't going to get a television deal and all the stuff she expected to get for free never materialized. And there was the danger that the hospital would release the octuplets into foster care.), because she has accepted an nursing offer that prohibits her from whoring out the children to the media.

To care for the new arrivals, Suleman has accepted the invitation of Angels in Waiting, a nonprofit that will provide around-the-clock nurses once the babies are brought home over the next few weeks, according to Dr. Phil McGraw, who helped arranged the deal along with attorney Gloria Allred.

"Nadya realized that she had to make every effort to care for the octuplets as well as the six children at home in a way that proved that she understood the enormity and complexity of the task ahead," says McGraw, whose show will address the matter Tuesday and Wednesday.

The neonatal intensive care nurses specialize in premature infant developmental care, says Linda Conforti West, CEO and founder of Angels in Waiting. The agency would have 14 nurses a day, four to five at a time, working around the clock, representatives recently told PEOPLE. Normally, they say, that kind of care would cost about $135,000 a month. The nurses' salaries are paid by the organization.

She also spoke of her other children and the donor.

The arrangement comes amid pressures at home. At least some of Suleman's other children are angry over the impending arrival of the octuplets, Suleman tells The Insider.

"[They're] externalizing their anger. Internalizing it. They become more withdrawn and get a little more sad," Suleman tells the show. "One of my kids for a while, I noticed, he didn't want to deal with the reality of what's going on. I noticed some tears coming down his face. I held him for ten minutes and he held me back and that's all he needed."

Suleman, who on Jan. 26 gave birth to the octuplets, also told the show the weight of all eight babies: Nariah: 3.5 lbs, Makai: 3.5 lbs, Jeremiah: 3.5 lbs, Jonah: 2.5, Josiah: 2.5 lbs, Noah: 4.5 lbs, Isaiah: 4.5 lbs, Maliah: 4 lbs.

As far as the babies' father, she says she paid him for the sperm donation. "A certain amount of money," she says, "not too much but just enough so he knew that there were boundaries there. I wanted those boundaries to be really firm and know that this is a business arrangement."

Something else she used disability payments for probably. And it doesn't matter if she paid him. A guy could have sex with a prostitute, father a child, and still be on the hook for child support. What matters is the contract that she should of drawn up before using any of the donor's sperm.

What I want to know is when the state is going to go after her for disability fraud. Her back was too injured to work, but not too injured to give birth to baby after baby.
