SakshiA Chat With Dr. Oz
Natalie Suleman was invited to chat on The Dr. Oz show in May 2018 to share her story about how she decided to undergo in vitro fertilization treatment and how she became fertilized with 12 implanted embryos. Natalie also discussed her evolution from Nadya and “Octomom” to the happy and healthy dedicated mother she now is. She opened up about her self-made journey and transformation from a single and desperate mother to raising her 14 kids, whom she calls the Solomon family on all her social media pages. She also took the opportunity to talk about the new YouTube channel she launched with her kids.
Luck Of The Draw
If you’ve ever wondered why you look nothing like your siblings, that’s because genetics are pretty fascinating and tricky at the same time. A luck of the draw some would say. Well when you have 14 kids, the chances of all of your genes being expressed in your progeny are high. Natalie Suleman calls this her diverse family and dichotomous genes. She simply adores every single one of her children and feels blessed that they each look unique and inherited the different genes. The best part is that these two kiddos over here, Nariyah and Noah, are from the same set of octuplets.
Active Kiddos
Natalie Suleman’s octuplets are all raw vegans and love living the healthy life, and if that means participating in marathons they’re super down for that. Pictured here is Natalie’s set of eight after completing the Russ Miller Memorial 5k race in February, 2018. They all love being a part of a worthy cause to raise money for incredible initiatives. Natalie wants to instill these important values and virtues in her kids from a very young age, and she seems to be doing a brilliant job at that. They all look happy after finishing the race hand-in-hand. And this just makes Natalie’s fans even happier. Turns out the kids have been up to so much more than just running races.
Modern Day Heroes
When the octuplets aren’t running races to raise money and awareness for important causes, they work tirelessly on other projects for school. The kids were instructed to create a poster on their heroes and created the most creative-looking projects. But perhaps the best part of the photograph is Caleb’s photo-bomb. Natalie Suleman doesn’t like to boast about her talented children, but her fans enjoy seeing what they get up to. Natalie also shares these moments to prove that anyone can raise 14 happy kids if they just put their minds to it. And clearly, her kids appreciate her dedication, judging by what they prepared for her next.
Putting Pen To Paper
What makes it all worth it for Natalie Suleman is the love she receives from her kids every day and on special days like Mother’s Day. She had to take s snap of all the special cards and handmade gifts she received from her kids. It’s the little things that make her feel so blessed. Talking about putting pen to paper, Natalie’s 12-year-old son Aiden and the struggles of her raising an Autistic child alongside 13 other healthy kids has inspired her to write a book. He has the mind of an 18-month child and he’s still in diapers and non-verbal. She’s open with her children about autism and loves teaching them about it. She is hoping to get the book published, which she originally started writing to jot down the challenges she faced. “It’s a story that needs to he told and I think it will encourage a lot of women to draw up strength that didn’t know they had, ” she told Daily Mail.
Sister Act
Out of the 14 kids Natalie Suleman gave birth to, four of them are girls. She just loves bonding time with her all her girls and loves it when they share girl time together despite the age differences, namely Amerah (16), Calyssa (11), and Maliah and Nariyah (nine). This was taken when Amerah celebrated her birthday. The resemblance between all the ladies in the Solomon family is just astounding and this is truly a picture perfect moment. Boy time and girl time is something Natalie tries to instill on a weekly basis, but she loves it best when all her kids hang out, which isn’t always possible.
