What Race or Ethnicity?: Iraqi, Lithuanian
The American mother of 14 children, also known as ‘Octomum’ is of Iraqi and Lithuanian descent. Her father, Edward Doud Suleman is a native of Iraq and her mother Angela is Lithuanian. This information about her parents was reported on Associatedcontent.com and the Mirror.co.uk respectively.
There has been a lot of discussion about Suleman’s ethnicity on the web, with some wondering if she is partly black. Also some people believe that she was being irresponsible by having so many kids, and disgracing Middle Eastern women in the US with her actions.
The biological father of all 14 of Suleman’s children is David Solomon who is Israeli-born.
