those children have been with him since birth, so they are legally his children...
remarks such as yours makes me sad...God does not give us all our children by birth, some of us have to seek and search.
maybe you shouldn’t jump to conclusions.
I was referring to the fact that MJ and those children have been mooching off of anyone they could find recently.
Staying in other people’s homes - staying in hotels on other people’s dime.
They’ve been living the life of nomads.
My comment had nothing to do with adoption.
clarification before you jump to another incorrect conclusion...
MJ was the moocher, not the kids - they haven’t had a choice in the matter.
after my coffee I now see why you are sad.
My reference to the children not being “his” are due to his public claims since his “marriage” to their mother that they were his biological children.
Did you know that?
And the press played right along describing him as having “fathered” these children to help rehabilitate his NAMBLA-like image to something less threatening.
So yes- some people seek and search.
I watched a family member endure background checks, multiple home visits.
After having their adopted son live with them for over a year the adoption still wasn’t finalized until beauracrats filled out the right forms and engaged in yet another round of interviews and home visits.
Now that the adoption is finalized, they still have a home check once a year or once every other year.
Of course MJ didn’t have to do that.
He had an offer from Debbie Rowe - her womb was for sale.
He “married” her - she was impregnated by an anonymous sperm donor and sired 2 children for him. She was paid to disappear (what father “helps” their kids by paying their mother to go away?)
The story on the 3rd child is still a mystery.
MJ was a drug addict. He had paid $25 million to a boy who accused him of molestation. During his trial there was ample testimony of many boys engaging in “sleepovers” where they were provided with alchohol and pornography.
After the trial his poor children had to follow him wherever he went while he sucked the money out of people.
So I am sad too that there are many people out there trying to adopt - and jumping through many hoops to make that dream possible, while this mentally ill drug addict was able to purchase them.
