It's a surname that could serve just as easily as a verb for screwing up your kids. Come on, who wants to pull a Lohan on their kids? Apparently, Li-Lo herself.
Fresh off a fight with her father (yes, another one) over whether she really is a lesbian (Lindsay says DJ Samantha Ronson's THE one, Daddy Michael says she's gross), Lohan told Marie Claire she's ready to adopt a child. Whether she'll pursue a domestic adoption or go overseas is still up in the air, but the 22-year-old says she's happy and ready to put her rehab-littered past behind her. No word on whether her lady love is up for motherhood; Lohan talked about their relationship but did not discuss whether they would be adopting together.
I'm willing to give anyone who can truly take care of a child a shot at parenthood, but I'd just hope this isn't another Lohan publicity stunt. After all, adoptions by Angelina and Brad, Nicole Kidman and even Sharon Stone have earned plenty of headlines. Lindsay tells Marie Claire that her screwed up childhood should make her a better parent. In other words - she knows what NOT to do as a parent. In an excerpt from the Marie Claire article, she refers to her teen years as "unpredictable."
"It was kind of just like whether [my dad] was gonna be there, what he would be like," she said. "We didn’t know what to expect from him, which was difficult. I knew so much at the age of 12 – I’d seen so much. So it’s surprising to me that I got into certain things that I got into, because I knew not to."
Which makes you wonder - if she didn't learn from the past the first (three) time(s) around, who's to say she'll make up for it as a mom? Let's just hope the stabilizing influence of a happy relationship will make the difference. And maybe we should be celebrating the fact that she won't be throwing more Lohan genes out there?
