(AP) The mother of recently born octuplets may be moving to a new home and getting help to raise her brood.

Nadya Suleman's father Ed Doud is purchasing a $564,900 house in the city of La Habra in a deal is expected to close Friday, said Prudential Realty listing agent Mike Patel.

In a related development, television talk show host Dr. Phil McGraw said Monday that Suleman will accept a volunteer group's offer of nursing care for her children.

Suleman has been living in a Whittier home that is owned by her mother. But that property is being foreclosed on because the family is more than $20,000 behind in mortgage payments. Doud is divorced from her mother.

The 2,583-square-foot house in La Habra, about 20 miles east of Los Angeles, has four bedrooms, three baths and a large, fenced-in backyard. The master bedroom features a walk-in closet.

Nadya Suleman gave birth to octuplets on Jan. 26 after already having six other children.

Public sentiment on the birth took a sharp turn when it was learned all 14 of Suleman's children were conceived through in vitro fertilization, and Suleman is unemployed and single.

McGraw said in a statement that Suleman will accept childcare help from the nonprofit nursing group Angels in Waiting.

Suleman had previously said she wouldn't accept the group's offer to provide round-the-clock care because it would mean relocating to the mountain community of Lake Arrowhead, but a deal has been made to provide care at home, according to the statement.

Suleman is scheduled to appear on the "Dr. Phil" show Tuesday and Wednesday.

What sickens me the most about this case is that there are to many MARRIED CHRISTIAN couples out in the world that want children. That can not afford Invitro! Here we are with an uneducated woman, unmarried, with no place to take her new borns and is granted the gift of 8 innocent babies. Depending on her parents for her needs, the tax payers money and a nonprofit organization to help with the care for them. I wonder how the good lord feels about her being unmarried to the man that basically fathered those children? I feel like he should be responsible for the care, instead of this woman depending on the government to help her. Granted its not the childrens fault they were conceived, but she’s getting everything she wanted from A-Z! There’s no way in this world I’d personally donate one penny to her needs! She should have thought about that before she did something so utterly ridiculous! This is just my point of view.
