Jackson Never Adopted Kids

Michael JacksonWe've learned Michael Jackson never adopted his three children, even though he's not the biological father.

We broke the story that neither Jackson nor Debbie Rowe are the biological parents of Michael Jr. and Paris. And Michael was not the biological parent of Prince Michael II either.

Now here's the rub. We've learned Jackson never filed legal papers to adopt any of his children. Legal experts tell us Jackson would be presumed the father but it's not conclusive by any means.

As for why Jackson didn't formally adopt -- we're told at the time the kids were born there was no third party whom he believed would try and claim custody. For some reason, Jackson never thought Debbie Rowe would mount a custody challenge.

62. With all the lawsuits filed against him, MJ must have had a whole bunch of attorneys. Are we to believe that none of them told him to write a will or adopt his kids (if necessary)? Didn't he have a manager of some sort? Did Michael think he was going to live forever? If so, why was he was always surrounded by security? His life, and his death, gets stranger and stranger.

63. Those are his kids, and them kids know that he is their father. Do not post stuff like this. It does not matter if the same blood flows, all that matters is he is the one who has raised them and loved them like his own. I pray these kids will make it!

64. Perhaps this is part of what Liza Minelli was referring to when she said "all hell is gonna break loose".

65. He didn't file any adoption papers because he didn't want anyone to know that he was NOT the biological father! What an ignorant human being.

All that we are uncovering about Michael Jackson proves how important it is to keep your affairs in order and for God's sake, have a will!

66. Come on now - he has been dead for 5 days already. Give up the constant updates on his family.

Who freakin cares. Everyone with a brain KNEW those kids weren't his.

Move away from Wacko Jacko now and start reporting the gossip/news for the other celebs.

70. Poor little shy gay Michael! With a stupid family he was born into! They literally killed him from the time he was shown to be an asset to them. He didn't have a real friend in the whole world...not one person to be real with. MJ is better off dead!

71. Those poor children. If all three of them don't grow up mixed up as hell it will be amazing. They don't know who they are. Weither there Black or White or what. I hurt most for those kids and how they will grow up in a normal enviroment. He was just a looney and if he did that to his kids they will hate him like he hated his father

73. Debbie Rowe is not my lover
Shes just a girl who claims that I am the one
But the chair is not my son
She says I am the one, but the chair is not my son

75. ::We broke the story that neither Jackson nor Debbie Rowe are the biological parents of Michael Jr. and Paris::

I wouldn't brag about that. Debbie is absolutely the mother of the first two, Paris looks exactly like her, same profile and everything. You are going to eat your words when she releases her statement any time now.
