Selling your kids - Twice

[ericgtr]

Which is what Debbie Rowe is apparently doing to do. The state should jump in and take those kids, at least then they'll be treated like human beings and not goods.

1. Well somebody should take them, but the state?

Nobody involved has the best interests of the kids at heart, that's for sure.

Rowe shouldn't be allowed anywhere near them and neither should the Jackson family.

But I'm not sure our broke ass state could do much of a job of taking care of them either.

Somewhere in a state with 30 some million people living in it there must be at least one person with the means and compassion to take these kids in and give them the benefit of a loving family.

2. It seems like the Jackson family only cares about money

Not the lives and well being of those children. We all know there is too much money involved for the kids to go to the state but IMO the state would at least treat them like humans, the Jackson's certainly won't and that fucking Joe should not be allowed within a mile of them.

3. This story has been debunked

[elleng]

5. Good if it has been.

What'll y'all give me for MY kids????

:rofl:

6. Only that they have already settled but she is currently in negotiations

that much we all know, and it's so she can get more money, those kids well being is the last thing on any of their minds.

11. No.

Her lawyer says she isn't looking for money and won't accept any.

12. I just got done watching a full panel on CNN on not one of them mentioned that

Do you have a source?

[LisaL]

16. It's on tmz.

4. Always wondered, where did these two love birds meet anyway? MJ and Debbie.

9. She was the nurse or receptionist at MJ's plastic surgeon's office.

He wanted kids, but Lisa Marie didn't think he was mature enough to have kids. Rowe was willing to carry babies and give them to him--for a price.

[LisaL]

10. Not plastic surgeon.

She was a nurse for Dr. Klein, the dermatologist.

[tblue37]

14. Right. My mistake. nt

[miyazaki]

7. don't want to take them away from the only family they know.

-and forgot Rowe. her main concern is money for her pet horses.

8. Jackson kids

All I can say is this is such a sad story for the kids. It's always the kids that pay the real price.

13. Other 'surrogate mothers' are pure angels of love, but Rowe is evil somehow?

Surrogates get paid. Not much, usually, but they get paid. They are usually regarded as wonderful women who make dreams come true for others with their bodies.

Young women of modest means who get ... talked into surrendering their newborns to older, wealthier couples get paid (but the lawyers who arrange the private adoptions make the real money - and lots of it). These young women are often regarded as brave and noble.

Debbie Rowe agreed to bear children as a 'surrogate mother' for a very wealthy man. She was paid more than the usual $10K. And she's horrible ... why? She was worried about the children? Or because she was bought off? Or because she bore children for someone else for money? Pick one and stick to it, willya?

15. I think the state should

consult with DU before making a final decision about what's best for the kids. Maybe they could post a poll.
