I'm not living off of any taxpayer money. If I am - if it's food stamps, it's a temporary resource.

That was always a dream of mine, to have a large family, a huge family.

I was looking at myself, and acknowledged that I wasn't in love at all with him [husband]. I was in love with having children.

Reflecting back on my childhood, I know it wasn't functional. I was very unconditionally loved and accepted, I felt, by my father.

It's a very different bond, siblings and friends. And I just - I wanted that huge family, just to surround me, be surrounded by.

I don't believe I'm selfish in any way.

I went through about seven years of trying. And through artificial insemination. And through medication. And all of which was unsuccessful.
