Money buys everything.

Why, with her health problems?
Lovely long blonde hair, why, she doesn't look a day over 25! mrgreen
At her age and with 11 kids already enough is enough .

I bet the taxpayers are footing the bill

Being a 62 year old blind grandmother with 11 kids and managing to pull a 43 year old bloke to be a donor/husband is the most impressive for me.

I'll be 43 in 5 years time. Is Mrs CR too young for me? Should I be with a more mature women. :?:

How would that be? Does Medicaid fund IVF?

we are talking about a married couple so the man part applies

But how would the taxpayer fund it? Would Medicaid cover IVF? I seriously doubt it, somehow. ??? Is there some other aid available? Why would you think they were? She may not be a homecoming queen but she didn't look too bad for a 62-year-old blind diabetic, so I'm prepared to believe they're not exactly living on the poverty line. Particularly given he looks young enough and fit enough to work, had no kids from former relationships to support and her other kids are mostly old enough to support themselves. Seems a bizarre conclusion to jump to, is all. ??? ??? ?
So you're up for olympic childbirth to i your 60's
No, I just think the taxpayers comment was ridiculous. Especially coming from someone who cites the current government's "every man for himself" attitude as one of his reasons for supporting them. The comment might make more sense if the Democrats were in power and had increased free national healthcare, but... roll
