Nadya Suleman (born October 12, 1975) (also known as Natalie Denise Suleman; Nadya or Natalie Suleman-Gutierrez while married; and Nadya or Natalie Denise Doud) was born in Fullerton, California.She was raised in La Puente, Hacienda Heights and Rowland Heights, all cities in San Gabriel Valley of Los Angeles County. She is the only child of Edward and Angela Suleman, who married in Las Vegas in 1974, and divorced in 1999.[4] Beginning in high school, Suleman was desperate to become pregnant. She graduated from Nogales High School in La Puente, California in 1993, and studied to be a psychiatric technician at Mt. San Antonio College.[5] She held a psychiatric technician license, and worked as a psychiatric technician at Metropolitan State Hospital, where her back was injured while at work.[5] She filed a worker's compensation claim in 1999 against the hospital, later filing another claim in 2001 against the Workers' Compensation Appeals Board.[6] She received a total of $167,908 in disability payments.[7][8] She attended Cal State Fullerton and received a Bachelor of Science degree in child and adolescent development in 2006.[6] Suleman returned to Cal State to pursue a master's degree in counseling, leaving the program in 2008.[6]
Suleman married Marcos Gutierrez, a produce manager, in 1996. The couple separated in 2000, and divorced in 2008. After separating from her husband, Suleman moved back in with her mother. During this time, she had three miscarriages. She told a psychiatrist that she suffered deep depression and had suicidal thoughts while trying to get pregnant. Suleman resorted to IVF procedures, using a single sperm donor supposedly named "David Solomon" (a male friend of Suleman) to father all of her children using the services of Dr. Michael M. Kamrava. There is doubt as to whether "David Solomon" is the biological father's true name. On one of the documents of the four oldest children's birth certificates, Solomon lists Israel as his "State of birth."
In 2001, Suleman started procedures to change her legal name to Nadya Solomon, but her name remained unchanged and there is no name-change decree on file. The IVFs resulted in four single births and one fraternal twin birth, with four boys and two girls born between 2001 and 2006.As of February 2009, Suleman is receiving $490 per month in food stamps along with disability payments for three of her six previous children. She told NBC one of her sons is autistic, another has attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, and a third experienced a mild speech delay with very mild autism.
