Hospital officials say the octuplets born outside Los Angeles ten days ago continue to be just fine. Nadya Suleman, 33, gave birth to six boys and two girls by Caesarean section January 26 at a Kaiser Permanente Medical Center in Bellflower, California.
 

Suleman once worked as a psychiatric technician for a state hospital in Norwalk, Calif., Kauffman says. But she's been unemployed since 2001. Documents show she filed two workman's compensation claims, including one for a car accident. Her mother told CBS News that's how she paid for the fertility treatments. The question, though is: how will she pay for raising the kids?
 

Parents magazine Editor in Chief Dana Points says it costs an average of $204,000 to raise one child in the U.S. from birth to age 18, according to the most recent statistics. Two-hundred-thousand times eight is $1.6 million, Kauffman notes, and that doesn't even include the cost of raising Suleman's other six kids.
 

The miraculous event (reportedly one of only two live octuplet births ever in the United States) quickly drew criticism after it was revealed that Suleman is single, unemployed, lives with her mother and already has six children, including twins, ranging in age from 2 to 7. Court records show Suleman was once married, and officially divorced just a year ago, Kauffman says. The documents list the couple as having no children. And although she's now living in Whittier, California, with her parents, her family once abandoned a nearby home two years ago and filed for bankruptcy.
 

Suleman's parents have been caring for other six children at their home in Whittier, Calif. It was unclear if she would return there. However, hospital spokeswoman Nancy Tovar-Huxen said: "Mom has asked for privacy."
