Jackson/Rowe Not the Biological Parents

We've learned Michael Jackson was not the biological father of any of his children. And Debbie Rowe is not the biological mother of the two kids she bore for Michael. All three children were conceived in vitro -- outside the womb.

Multiple sources deeply connected to the births tell us Michael was not the sperm donor for any of his kids. Debbie's eggs were not used. She was merely the surrogate, and paid well for her services in the births of Michael Jr. and Paris.

In the case of Prince Michael II (the youngest), we're told the surrogate was never told of the identity of the "receiving parent" -- Michael Jackson. Three days after Prince was born at Grossmont Hospital in San Diego County, Jackson's lawyer came to the hospital to pick the baby up and deliver him to Michael.

We do not know if Jackson chose the sperm or egg donors or if he even knew who they were.

Although Rowe is not the biological mother, it's not a slam dunk that she would lose a custody battle. This type of case has never been litigated in California courts. Since Rowe was married to Jackson when Michael Jr. and Paris were born, there's a presumption that she's the biological parent. That presumption can be rebutted by other evidence.

We know there are documents outlining the whole arrangement for the birth of all three kids. Nonetheless, it's still an open issue with the courts.

67. Who didn't know those weren't Michael's biological kids? I'm more shocked that Debbie Rowe isn't the biological mother.

68. Wow. I am disgusted. First, I don't believe that at all. Just because the kids are white doesn't mean they aren't his. Look at LaToya. She is really light. And having a white mother they could have gotten that gene. Even if they are not biologically linked to him, does it really matter? They are his children and he is their daddy. TMZ, I am appalled. Don't forget that his children are not 1 or 2 years old. They can read this junk and they hear about it. Why is nobody thinking of the kids? Bashing their father the way the media is and saying they aren't his kids. You should be ashamed. I have been picking thru stories believing the ones that are fact and ignoring those that aren't. But just posting crap like this just to be the first...to say that you have an "exclusive" is disgusting. I thought this site was different that Perez Hilton and all that other junk but I guess I was wrong.

69. I belive this totally and it makes a lot of sense. Michael would not have wanted ANY of the Jackson blood flowing through ANY child of his - especially Joe. Michael hated the way he looked and so did his siblings hate their faces as most of them had multiple plastic surgeries trying to erase their 'ethnic' features. Michael would have sought a way to have attractive children (who would not be teased) and his having an ability to choose what they look like would have fit into Mike's MO. Michael was a shrewd businessman - all the way to selecting the features of his children. Debbie ALWAYS SAID she was a SURROGATE for Michael.

70. Okay so like so many celebs they are basically adopted.

71. Well, just because MJ has a billion dollar estate shouldn't change the way the courts view family. Sperm doners and egg donors have absolutely no legal recourse for claiming parentage. Neither do birth parents who have surrendered their rights or who have had them terminated by the courts. Thousands and probably millions of parents choose these methods to create their families, whether through adoption, surragacy, in vitro, etc... Jackson IS their legal father and Rowe IS their legal mother (assuming it is true that she never had her rights terminated.) Rowe, as the surviving parent has right of first refusal and is probably weighing her options. It does not matter if she is not the biological parent or not.

72. OK, TMZ, you've gone too far. Whatever the scientific truth is regarding the biological heritage of these children, this should have been kept private. These are children, for God's sake--children who have just lost the only parent they've ever known.. Write what you want about Jackson and Rowe, they're adults who have each in some way chosen a form of life in the public eye. Tthese kids didn't. This post is not OK
