Octuplets’ mom launches site: No one can care for 14 kids alone.

The mother of octuplets born in California last month says she’s “not living off taxpayer money,” but that she has been receiving about $490 worth of food stamps.

Nadya Suleman has also launched a website seeking donations for the children. The site features the photos of babies in the green-colored background with a rainbow.

It also links to the PayPal site set up to allow visitors to contribute money online.

“We thank you for the love and good wishes sent to us from around the world. The octuplets arrived on 1-26-09. They are all healthy and growing stronger by the day,” according to the site, whose launch was first reported by the Huffington Post.

Earlier in the day Suleman told NBC’s “Today” in an interview broadcast Wednesday that her family receives no cash from the government and that the food stamps she’s been receiving for 18 months are “not affiliated with welfare.”

Suleman, a single mother who already had six children through in vitro fertilization, has been criticized for trying to have more children when she has no job and seemingly little money.

Responding to her mother’s claim that she is incapable of caring for her new family, Suleman said: “What human on this planet is capable to take care of 14 independently without support from family, from friends, from church? No human is.”
