It appears that he was allowed to buy children without any investigation into his suitability as a parent.
I think that’s why he didn’t go the adoption route where there is all sorts of screening in place. Michael got around the scrutiny by getting some sperm and having his friend, Debbie Rowe, inseminated with it. Rowe even remarked once that she was “just a vessel” and admitted that her marriage to Michael was a sham.
There were reports that Michael’s sons had horribly rotted teeth from eating candy all day and never brushing. What a superb dad, huh?
