Cash-strapped Nadya Suleman, better known as Octomom, has turned to various X-rated money-making ventures to help pay the bills - all with the encouragement of Orange County (Calif.) Child Protective Services.

"They're on my side-they're supporters," Suleman told FoxNews.com in an interview. "It's ironic. Once I talked with a CPS worker in regards to the adult stuff, she was like, 'Are you really doing that?' Well, it's not illegal. More power to you!' So it was almost like a green light-like, 'Do what you need to do to take care of your family.' They were supportive. It was funny."

The single mother of fourteen children has starred in an erotic video, posed topless and made personal appearances at various strip clubs.

A rep for the Orange County (Calif.) Social Services Agency, which includes Children and Family Services/Child Protective Services acknowledges that parents have "a wide latitude" when it comes to suitable employment options.
