Michael Jackson's children

My oldest daughter and I was talking about adoption and the legal hoops that people have to jump through to adopt. The fear that you will be attached and in love with your new child and one of the parents change their minds. Placing a child in a loving stable home is the ultimate act of love and unselfishness.
The death of Michael Jackson has brought out the ugliness and greed in people that should be mourning. It happens a lot, when people die. All too often, in fact and it's never a pretty site.
I mentioned my earlier disgust of Debbie Rowe, the mother of Michael's 2 oldest children, when she said she didn't want them and that Michael wasn't really the father. Now she wants them and will even "take the youngest one too". What a giver. Just what these children need to hear when they've just lost their father. Michael has been very cautious with them. Covering their faces and sometimes making them more of a spectacle than necessary. I haven't watched the entire memorial, but I saw his daughter, Paris, speak at the end (heartbreaking) and pictures of them from the memorial. They seem genuinely devastated at the loss of their father. They are beautiful children. What may seem like freaky existence on the outside looking in, he loved them. They are about to be thrust into the real world which is completely sick and twisted in comparison. They will watch everything he ever did to himself and what he was accused of doing by others. They will see the physical transformation he underwent for reasons we'll never know or understand. They will hear all about the drug abuse that was intended to kill a pain that no doctor can explain. They will learn that in an effort to escape his own personal demons he went too far. They will watch people fight like animals for a piece of him and they will never understand it. They will never know if the person who is raising them is doing it out of love or for the compensation. They look sad and terrified, just like any child that lost the parent they love. In a perfect world everyone would make this an easy, peaceful transition, for their sake. Our world is far from perfect...
