did she have her baby yet?

Congrats to Busy and her hubby! A little girl! How exciting.

In my family they do have legal rights, so I am sorry that I passed that assumption on to other families. All godparents in my family are responsible not just for the religious education of the children, but also are the ones who would take responsibility if anything, God forbid, happened to a parent.

I’m not sure why this is a common assumption, but “godparent” is not a legal role of any sort.

It’s a religious designation – this is the person who is responsible for guiding the child’s religious development.

You designate in your will who will raise your child if you die, or next of kin if you don’t have a will. Godparents don’t have any legal rights to the child.

Awwww, I’m so happy for her.

And I totally love her comment on picking a godparent. I think that becoming a godparent is such a huge responsibility. It isn’t just a title. I respect her honesty on not wanting to saddle a beloved friend who is having to face parenthood alone with another child to raise if anything were to happen to Busy and Marc.

So happy for her! I’ve watched her for years, starting on Dawson’s.

I’m thankful to her for being such a great friend to Michelle Williams at this awful time.

This must be a difficult time for her.. To celebrate the pregnancy and to be by Michelle’s side through all the pain..

I believe she’ll be a great mom. congrats!

Isn’t she Chynna Phillips sister? Daughter of Michelle Phillips of the Mommas and Papas?

Sarah’s note: No. Busy’s last name is spelled Philipps.

aaw!!! I just loved her in White Chicks !!!! Im glad to hear she is with Michelle and her goddaughter Matilda !!! This new baby will be good for Matilda.She will have a new playmate!!! God bless these people.

Her real name is Elizabeth Jean Phillips – no idea where “busy” comes from or why they would mix her up with Bijou. Hope that helps …
