It may have been covered by insurance? If it was a medical condition that prevented her from having kids, then maybe it's covered.
I know here if you are unable to have children because of "plugged fallopian tubes" then it's covered by OHIP. But obviously, very different health systems.
I can't imagine taking care of that many kids on my own...I'm also trying to figure out how many eggs were frozen to start with, or if she happened to get lucky (in that she didn't have to have multiple...treatments [I don't know what to call them...] and multiple eggs implant).
I dunno, I'm sort of torn on the whole thing - I think that everyone should have the right to have kids, and I mean, she has the right to have those kids but on the other, I just...kind of wonder if it was such a good idea for her to have more, if that makes sense. Not because I think she's a bad parent or anything, but just physically, emotionally, financially I think it would be difficult. I hope everything works out for her.
