Jessica Simpson wants to adopt

Jessica Simpson has said it before and she’s saying it again, she’d like to adopt before having a biological child. Perhaps she wants to follow in the footsteps of Angelina Jolie or Madonna. For now, NY Post‘s Cindy Adams says that Jessica’s dog Daisy, is helping her get ready for motherhood. She added that Daisy is helping her get into the maternal, caregiving mode.

I ADORE Jess and I know that she will be an amazing mother whether they are adopted or biological!

Jessica has spent her entire adult life in the spotlight with people cateering to her every need. I think she need to spend some time independent and figuring out who she is before making the decision to adopt.

Who really knows if Jessica is ready for motherhood or not. I don’t see how any of us could possibly know that about someone that we don’t even know. I hope if/when Jessica does decide to have/adopt children that she gives it a great deal of thought and commitment, but I couldn’t possibly presume to know whether the time is right for her or not.

I’m sorry but taking care of kids is totally different to me than a dog.Yeah your cleaning up behind them like you would a child but their’s more to it to me.

Goodluck to her though maybe adopting will tell her if she wants to have one biologically.

tan: Adopted children aren’t something that you “test drive” to find out if you want biological children. Parenting an adopted child requires just as much commitment and focus as parenting a biological child – it’s not a trial run you take before real deal happens, it is the real deal.

Grace,

You took the words out of my mouth.
Thank you.

Tan, my son is adopted. Trust me, he is no trial run on if I am capable of parenting a biological child (btw, I am unable to biologically produce children). However, my son is very much my miracle, no matter how he came into my life.

I am a bit disheartened that Jessica would liken ‘parenting a puppy’ to preparing her for a child, but if/when she’s ready to embark on the lifelong commitment that is parenthood, I do hope she is 100% ready. I don’t know her, but I sort of think she’s a bit pampered, and that would have to go away with raising any child.

I like Jessica, have been a fan of her’s forever. I think she is a sweet girl, and she has always talked about wanting around 3 children. That being said I hope she dosen’t wanna just adopt to jump on the bandwagon, or think it’s the trendy thing to do in hollywood.

I have no idea if Jessica is ready for motherhood. I don’t see how the comment “is helping her get ready for motherhood. She added that Daisy is helping her get into the maternal, caregiving mode. ” I don’t think she is equating taking care of a dog to a child.

I can’t stand it when people compare the responsibility of a pet to having kids. I can’t lock my son in a crate with some newspaper and a bowl of water so that I can go out to dinner for a few. I’ve seriously had friends who make the comparision and Jess is ditzy enough to think the same!

- Madeline on March 19th, 2007

I want to see her with children of her own

- nikki on March 19th, 2007

We can’t possibly know if Jessica is ready. I didn’t know if I was ready, but I was pregnant,and when my daughter was born it just clicked naturally. A dog and a child are completely different, and for anyone to compare the two is outragous.

Is anyone else having trouble getting the comments section to come up. Under this post, on the main page, it says 12 comments but then when I click on comments only 10 comments pop up. Or on other posts where it says 2 comments I click on comments to read them and no comments come up? Are other people having problems too or is it just my computer?

- Grace on March 19th, 2007

nikki: If she adopted a child it would be a child of her own. Ask any adoptive parent and they will tell you those are their own children.
I really wish people would stop talking about adopted children as if they are somehow not the same or not as good or not as real as biological children.

- Grace on March 19th, 2007

To Grace and Rebekalynn:

You both misunderstood what I was saying.I have to kids that are my blood.I didn’t say that its ok to see if adoption would work for someone.If you read my comment I said that adoption will show her if she wants to have one biologically.

- tan on March 19th, 2007

To me, it seems like a fab in hollywood. Adopt a baby. Its great if its being done for the right reasons, but dont do it because it seems like the thing to do at the moment. That child is adopted for life, not for the moment, or the year, or whatever. And its someone life. Certainly not something to be taken lightly. I commend celeb parents like Tom/Nicole and Angelina who have stepped up and adopted because they truly wanted kids, but honestly I dont think a celeb like Ashley Simpson is ready at this point in her life for the awesome responsibility of becoming a parent.

- Mary on March 19th, 2007

tan: I’m still not following what you’re trying to say. How is adopting a child going to tell someone whether they want to have a biological child. A person either wants to have a biological child or they don’t, adopting a child isn’t going to give her the answer to that question.

- Grace on March 19th, 2007

I don’t think Jessica is ready for motherhood. I think she needs to wait at least another year. I agree with Mary. If Jessica wants a baby to enrich her life, fine. But If she wants a child to increase her popularity, then she really isn’t ready to be a mother.
