Octuplets to get help from charity group

BELLFLOWER, Calif., March 9 (UPI) -- Nadya Suleman, who gave birth to octuplets to go with six children she already had, is getting help caring for her children after appearing on a U.S. TV show.

The Southern California woman -- who is single and unemployed -- lives with her parents and receives some public assistance. Following an appearance on the "Dr. Phil" show, Suleman said she has accepted an offer from Angels in Waiting to provide child care, the Los Angeles Times reported Monday.

Angels in Waiting provide round-the-clock services of skilled neonatal intensive care nurses, the newspaper said. The group will also provide "psychological and physical early therapies to help enhance all of the children's growth and well-being," the report said.

The octuplets are still being cared for at Kaiser Permanente Medical Center in Bellflower, Calif., where they were born Jan. 26.

Their grandfather said he plans to fight to make sure his family keeps the eight babies.

Ed Doud also said the family will not call on taxpayers for assistance in raising them, ABC News reported Monday.

"I will stop anybody, I don't care who they are, from taking my grandchildren away," Doud said on "Good Morning America."

"We have a loving home, loving mother and there's no way, no legal right for anybody to take my grandchildren anywhere."
