Los Angeles - The single mother of newborn octuplets and six other small children is moving out of her mother's home and getting a team of charity nurses to help care for her formidable brood, People magazine reported Tuesday.

 

The mother, Nadya Suleman, has come in for widespread criticism for her obsession with having babies even though she has no visible means of support. But the new arrangements will allow the children to get adequate care without the need for a massive government baby bailout.

 

Instead a charitable foundation called Angels in Waiting will provide around-the-clock nursing care for the babies, in a deal arranged by television personality Dr Phil McGraw.

 

"Psychological and physical early therapies to help all of the children's growth and well-being will also be provided," said a statement from the charity, which added that services "will commence as soon as the octuplets are released from the hospital and will be reevaluated every six months."

 

The statement came as Suleman was preparing to move to a new house that had been purchased by her father for over 500,000 dollars using money that Suleman has received in recent weeks as a downpayment.

 

People magazine reported that the four-bedroom, three-bathroom house with a large backyard is in Orange County, California, and that apart from the down payment the owner was lending the Suleman family the money to buy the house.
