Remember the Octomom Nadya Suleman? The mother of 6 who gave birth to octuplets in 2009 and made headline news? Well!! She’s in the news again after having transforming herself and pulling her life together from a series of ups and downs. Take a look at how Octomom looks now including her 14 children.
For a major part of 2009, Nadya Suleman was famous but controversy laced her story as she gained popularity for having delivered octuplets despite having six children and being unemployed.
Nadya capitalized on the media attention and became famous after appearing on the Oprah Winfrey show. She was also the subject of a documentary named “Octomom: The incredible unseen footage”.
However Nadya’s popularity soon withered and life became a problem as providing for 14 kids was no easy task.

Nadya unfortunately chose the wrong path taking to adult movies to make ends meet. She soon realized it was wrong and would not be setting a good example for her kids.
“There was definitely a catalyst — my girls, particularly my oldest daughter Amerah. She was about 10, and she started integrating my traits and behaviors,” she says. “After I had observed my daughter beginning to emulate me, I saw her going down that same potentially destructive path, and I realized at that moment I’d rather be homeless in my van with all 14 kids than continuing down this path. It was not what I wanted for my children.”

Nadya along with her 14 kids moved to Orange County, California to make a fresh start. That was three years ago. She presently works as a family therapy counselor and is extremely happy about it as she is passionate about the work.

I was alive again,” she says. “As ‘Octomom,’ I was the walking dead. When I woke up and I went back to my roots, my helping profession, and my kids, we were struggling financially but it didn’t matter. I never felt so free and so happy in my life.”
