I am very curious, wondering how a single unemployed mother of 6 children, could possibly afford invetro fertilization. Who gave her the new house she will be living in? Who is paying for all of this. I do understand that the babies absolutely are the most important subject of this whole thing, but I am really curious as to how she is doing this,before the babies as well after!
