Patrick Swayze To Adopt?

trix — Sun, 07 Dec 2008 15:06:00 GMT

Patrick Swayze dreams of being a father. He has pancreatic cancer, but he and his wife Lisa still want to make his dreams of becoming a father come true.

Patrick and Lisa have been married for 33 years (that's an eternity in Hollywood) and during that time Lisa has suffered two miscarriages. The couple are turning to adoption to fill the empty spot in their lives.

Sources say, "It has been so tough for Patrick and Lisa. But she didn't want to wait until it could be too late to go through with an adoption. Lisa promised through tears she would make him a father. Lisa sees a son as perhaps one final magical gift for the man she adores. And she is absolutely set on naming the boy Patrick. The biggest drawback is time. But he will fight until his last breath to stay with her and if he has a son to hold, he will move heaven and earth to beat his illness."

Oh my, I know that he is in the fight of his life against cancer and it's commendable that he still has so much love to give to a child.

Madonna's Divorce Upsets Adopted Son's Biological Father

Whit Honea — Tue, 21 Oct 2008 19:49:00 GMT

The father of David, the little boy adopted by Madonna, has had his doubts about the lifestyle thrown upon his biological son. Madonna's divorce from Guy Ritchie is only compounding the feeling.

Marcia Cross Wants More Kids!

trix — Wed, 24 Sep 2008 12:31:00 GMT

Marcia Cross has two precious little twin girls, Eden and Savannah and a loving husband, Tom. What more could she want?

She knows that age is an issue that would hold her back from having another baby naturally, so she and Tom are thinking about adopting a baby boy. They would like to add another child to the mix and Marcia said, I would always adopt. I feel like time is the issue for me."

She's 46 years old and had a difficult time getting pregnant with the twins, and has said that she will soon be too old to give birth.

Adoption might be the smart choice. You not only get what you want but you help someone else in need at the same time.

This Post is About Adoption and Twins and Guerrier NOT Brad and Angelina

Whit Honea — Tue, 05 Aug 2008 17:47:00 GMT

I just thought I should make it clear that this post, which is about Twins player Matt Guerrier and his wife Dejie adopting a baby girl is actually about them and not Brad Pitt or Angelina Jolie. You see, the Jolie-Pitts are a hot item and things like "adoption" and "twins" are what we in the business call "keywords." Actually, we don't call them anything, but if we did I think "keywords" would be a good name.

No, this post is about Matt Guerrier of the Minnesota Twins and his wife Dejie and the little bundle of happiness that they were able to add to their family. This past weekend they adopted Ava Grace and brought her home from the hospital.

Congratulations to the Guerrier family.

Babies for Barrowman?

Whit Honea — Tue, 29 Jul 2008 16:21:00 GMT

Scottish-American actor John Barrowman is building a house by the sea and he wants to fill it with the pitter-patter of little feet.

Barrowman, who plays Captain Jack Harkness on the hit BBC show "Torchwood" (a spin-off from "Doctor Who") and Scott Gill, his partner of 15 years, are ready to take the next step in family.

Says Barrowman, "We're building a house in Cardiff on the beach. We're going to have six bedrooms in it and we feel like we've got a lot to offer."

Hey, got to put something in there.

While discussing the idea of family and the attitude towards same-sex parenting he drops a great nugget: "a family unit is what you make a family unit."

Simple and true, Barrowman, simple and true.

Peter Andre to Adopt?

Whit Honea — Thu, 19 Jun 2008 17:22:00 GMT

Peter Andre and Jordan, aka Katie Price, have a pretty good thing going. Fame, money, family, ~~talent~~, boobs, basically the whole package. However, there is something that Andre and his respective sauce haven't done and it's leaving a bit of a hole in his heart.

Actually, it's a rather serious and sweet thing that he's talking about, so forget I was making fun of him in the above paragraph. He wants to adopt Harvey. Harvey is Katie's son from a previous whatever it was, but Peter has been raising him as his own. He would love for that to be official.

Says Andre, "I'd love to adopt Harvey. If I was allowed, I would love to. It's a big process and not that easy. It's something I would definitely love to achieve in the next couple of years.

"He IS my son - he's mine."

Maybe that Dad of the Year award went to the right guy after all.

As an added bonus, please enjoy the following video of the couple performing a cover of Disney's "A Whole New World."

DeMarcus Ware Finally Enjoys Father's Day

Whit Honea — Thu, 19 Jun 2008 16:53:00 GMT

Dallas Cowboy DeMarcus Ware and his wife Taniqua have had their hardships with regard to starting a family. They have been through three failed pregnancies and the sad stillborn birth of their son Omar in 2006 of which Taniqua said, "That was the low point. To go to the hospital and give birth and coming home with nothing. You don’t know how to react. You’re angry, hurt, upset.”

I can't even imagine.

However, there is sweet to the bitter of their tale. Just in time for Father's Day they were able to adopt a beautiful baby girl. Meet Marley. Something tells me that little baby won't want for much.

Congratulations, Wares.

Angelina Looks Happy, Says Her Dad

Karen — Sat, 31 May 2008 21:09:00 GMT

Jon Voight, Angelina Jolie's dad has been keeping an eye on his little girl.

"She looks very happy now," Voight, 69, told People Thursday night. And "very heavy!" he added when asked what he thought of Jolie's pregnant pictures from the Cannes Film Festival. "She looks like she's having a couple of babies."

Jolie recently told press that her and her dad are working on building their relationship.

"We are going to try to get to know each other and maybe try not to be this daddy and daughter, but to be there for each other as friends in the coming years," she said.

That's nice. I hope it all works out.

Pax and Maddox need to enjoy every moment they have in the bathroom while they still can. They are about to double the number of sisters they have and life will never be the same.

Of course it will be better, but I'm serious about that bathroom thing.

Star Magazine is reporting that Angelina Jolie is fine after a scare and that she is getting ready to have two more daughters. "Brad can't wait — he absolutely adores little girls," says a source. "And Angelina just loves seeing him and the other kids so excited and happy."

We're kind of excited, too.

Sarah Silverman to be a Foul-Mouthed Mother

Whit Honea — Mon, 05 May 2008 17:56:00 GMT

Sarah Silverman loves Jimmy Kimmel, but she has no plans to marry him. "I don't want the government involved in our love," she tells People. "When my friends get married I think it's romantic, I cry, whatever, but it's not for me."

What about kids? Will her lady parts be used for anything other than one-liners and Matt Damon visits?

"I might adopt, but we're going to wait. If you're going to have kids, you need to have time to give them undivided attention."

I can't believe that I just wrote a whole post on Sarah Silverman and the only person that mentioned her vagina was me.

Jennifer Aniston Wants Boobs and a Baby

Whit Honea — Sun, 13 Apr 2008 20:48:00 GMT

I must say, I like Jennifer Aniston's style. She's about to turn 40 and she has two things on her bucket list that she wants to cross off: Being a mother and putting some perk back in the rack. Bless her.

The National Enquirer quotes a friend (not Monica): "It's not some mid-life crisis. In fact, it's just the opposite. She feels great about her herself and wants a body to match her attitude. Her butt is still in great shape, but she thinks her boobs need a slight boost.

"She is at a place in her life where she can give a little boy a happy, stable home. She's never felt better physically and emotionally. Motherhood is right for her now."

And boobs, don't forget them. Boobs are right for her now, too.

Harrison Ford to Adopt Flockhart

Whit Honea — Tue, 11 Mar 2008 22:54:00 GMT

At the Golden Globes in 2002 Calista Flockhart spilled a glass of wine. It landed on Harrison Ford. They've been together ever since. Yes, that could have been you, not clumsy enough waitress, but that's neither here nor wherever.

In 2001 Calista had adopted Liam. The only father figure he has ever known is Ford, who has stated that he would like to adopt Liam as well. According to the National Enquirer (so you know this shit is legit!), "Harrison wants to give Liam his name. He adores him as though he were his own flesh-and-blood, and Harrison is the only dad Liam has ever known."

How does Calista feel? Says the source, "she says it's fine with her if Harrison adopts her boy, but she wants to walk down the aisle first." Sounds fair.

Good for them.

Kylie Minogue Is Taking Back Her Man

Karen — Tue, 05 Feb 2008 20:03:00 GMT

They broke up last February, but this year might be a romantic one for Kylie Minogue and Oliver Martinez.

"Ollie has agreed to try for a baby. That was always the stumbling block in their relationship," explains the pal. "They have both been single for a year and Kylie has realised she has never had anyone that has matched up to him..."

The couple met in Paris after the Martinez revealed he'd been pining for Kylie since their split. "Ollie has told her he is ready to start a family, to marry her and to settle down. It was against that background that this first meeting happened last week."

The two have reportedly drawn up a long term plan for marriage and children.

"They have decided that if they have no success within a year, they will try to adopt," adds the pal.

Kylie isn't the only one happy about the reunion. So is her family: "He was her rock during her battle with cancer, and she has always described him as the love of her life," reveals a member of Olivier's family. "We would certainly like to see them back together."

Paula Abdul to Adopt?

Karen — Mon, 14 Jan 2008 19:02:00 GMT

We're talked about this before, but Paula's back in the news talking about adopting a child again. She revealed the scoop to Ladie's Home Journal:

"I want kids! If it doesn’t happen naturally, I can always adopt."

Abdul is using the interview to squash rumours that her latest romance is in trouble. She adds, "It’s a good thing. I’ve experienced real loneliness, so I love knowing there’s someone I can share the good and the not-so-good with."

Let's hope that painkiller addiction is under control before she decides to inflict the pain of motherhood on herself. When she's trying to have a bath by herself, I hope she remembers this talk of loneliness!
