Sarah M.- Thanks for the explanation. I didn’t realize that.

CelebBabyLover – According to imdb.com, the only child that Kelli gave birth to herself was Vivienne. I don’t know if she adopted the other 3 first, and Rosie later. Or if Rosie adopted the others first, and then Kelli followed suit. Don’t quote me on this, it’s just what imdb says.

Heather- I’m not sure Rosie is the best example to use, as, if I’m remembering correctly, she was adopting the kids as the second parent after her wife Kelly gave birth to them (I know Kelly at least gave birth to Vivienne, as I read somewhere that she had to have a C-section to have Vivienne)?

Anon- If I’m remembring correctly, it was indeed a private adoption.

Sarah M.- Angie does NOT use her status to adopt her children. I don’t know about when she adopted Maddox, as I didn’t follow her back then, but with Z and Pax, the adoption agencies she used (Wide Horizions and Adoptions from the Heart respectifully) said that she was given NO special treatment during her adoptions, had to follow the same rules as everyone else, and that the adoptions followed the countries’ rules.

With Pax, the reason she was able to adopt him as quickly as she did was because, as he was older, virtually all of his paperwork was already complete. Also, it has been said by either Angie or Adoptions from the Heart that the process to adopt Pax took nearly a year (and I’m assuming they mean from first choosing an adoption agency to work with to actually bringing Pax home, rather than just the amount of time it took from when Angie submitted paperwork in Vietnam to when she adopted Pax).

As for her adopting as a single parent…Legally, Angie IS single, and it’s the legal aspect that the adoption agency and the country you are adopting from is concerned with. For example, in Vietnam, legally married couples can adopt, and so can legally single parents.

To sum it all up, nobody can deny that Angie definently did not do what Madonna did (and I DO personally disagree with how Madonna went about her adoptions, but I’m happy that David and Mercy will have a better life than they probably would have in the orphanges)!

Anyway, I completely agree with the rest of your comment! Babies often look very different from what they end up looking like as adults or even older children. For example, my mom had white-blonde hair when she was a baby and a young child…But as she got older her hair darkened….and now she has very dark hair!

I, too, had much lighter hair as a kid than I do now. Also, just because a couple is, say, blonde-haired and blue-eyed is no guarantee their children will be, too! For example, my eye color is different from both of my parents’!

Heather It’s refreshing to read comments like yours. Not PC, just the truth.

Oh… this pic of Sheryl & her son makes me smile too! I haven’t seen a really great pic of Wyatt in a while, and this is a wonderful one. As always, Sheryl is helping out a great cause and also enjoying time with her son. They look so adorable and happy here. I wish them this joy today, tomorrow, and always!

Sheryl Crow is one of my favorite singers of all time. I have seen her twice in concert and she is amazing. Sheryl always has so much energy and spark. I also love the lyrics in her music. I have all her albums and will keep buying them, because she is way awesome. It is amazing that Sheryl has adopted a boy from the USA who needed a good home. Many people like SJP went the surrogate route, as they wanted a baby instead of adopting but to me, there is nothing more honorable than adopting a child who doesn’t have a home. There are also several stars who have adopted babies and children from other countries, which is a good thing. However, they seem to have ignored the children back home. The world would be a better place, if we had more people like Sheryl.

I’m almost afraid to read the comments anymore. For just about every single photo/article, a debate has to be started about something. It’s getting rather ridiculous, IMO. Yes, some celebs have used their status to adopt (Angie, Madonna, etc.), but not ALL of them do. This is the first thing I’ve read about Sheryl using her status to adopt her son. And even now, it’s 1 person speculating. It’s not even a known fact. Nothing that I have seen or heard even points to that being the case with this particular adoption. As others have said, also, a babies look changes over time. Just because they start out with one color hair and eyes, they often change later. Unless Sheryl had a magic mirror that let her look into the future, she had no way of knowing what Wyatt would look like as a toddler.

Every person is different, too. My whole family is Caucasian (not that I’m trying to be prejudice, just stating a fact!). My cousin and her husband have 4 boys. They all tan fairly well, and practically live outdoors. The oldest is ALWAYS shades darker than the younger 3. He sees his younger brothers with much fairer skin and sees his darker skin, and figures that he must be black because he’s so much darker. (He has been corrected about this multiple times, but doesn’t really seem to believe us sometimes!) My cousin had no way of knowing that 1 of her 4 would tan better than the others. That’s life.
