The grandmother of recently-born octuplets, Angela Suleman, owes more than $20,000 in late mortgage payments on her home in Whittier, Calif., and is in danger of losing it to foreclosure, according to TMZ.com.

Angela Suleman is the mother of Nadya Suleman, who herself happens to have quite a few kids of her own. Nadya, in fact, has captured major national headlines recently because she delivered a litter of eight children all at once, raising her total to 14 offspring.

But all the attention has, for the most part, been negative.

That’s because the divorced single mother — who is unemployed, lives with her mother, receives food stamps and collects government disability checks for three of her children — conceived her most recent brood via in-vitro fertilization, which is apparently not the most logical decision when already struggling to make ends meet.

Angela, the grandmother, has been outspoken and critical of her daughter’s thought process. She has good reason to speak up, too, because the enormous physical and financial burden of caring for all the kids has landed squarely on her shoulders.

Indeed, she provides the roof over their heads and helps take care of them on a day-to-day basis.

The good news is that with all her new-found fame (or disdain), Nadya landed a high profile paid appearance on “60 Minutes,” which she reportedly pocketed a large sum for granting the interview request. And there could be more on the way.

But with 14 children, a home in default and a scary diaper bill, among other expenses, there is no telling how long similar opportunities and that money will last. Hopefully, for the sake of the children, it’s long enough to remain in their family home for a very long time.
