Stevie planned to adopt?

Maybe this is old news, and I know I must've read it before because I found it in my old Fleetwood Mac scrapbook, but I honestly didn't remember it.

From 1990

She should just adopt me now instead.

I'm still a child. I can certainly act like one, too. She can have me, as well!

This reminds me of when someone left a baby on Dolly Parton's porch with a notesaying that they wanted her to have her and that her name was Jolene. Quick, find a baby named Rhiannon or Sara!

Yeah, Mick mentioned it too in some interview. He said that Stevie was planning on adopting.

I remember that.......she was convinced she was going to adopt and her fandom was waiting for the happy event to happen.

There was also a piece in the one of the scandal rags around this time "The Star" as I recall that stated she was already pregnant and that the father was Joe Perry of Aerosmith..quite a baby that would've been.

At the time she also said that she planned to exit the music business completely and permanently by the mid-1990s so she could hang out and paint. I think she just wanted out of her current life in those Klonopin days.

At that time she was basically saying in every interview that she wanted a baby, this was also when she was carrying around baby dolls.

40's, childless, and like some women probably just rushing thinking of having a baby as the years ticked by. I think she is ok with the choices she's made and fine with her life today. As she's said, she's surrounded by friends and family and her pets and music that fill her life and keep her company.

I very much doubt she would have been be approved at the time as an adoptive parent. Drug addiction and history of alcohol abuse aren't exactly what social services are looking for when trying to place vulnerable children from unstable backgrounds!

If she had children in her life to love then they would love her and she might not of needed the drugs!

Just a thought!

But that doesn't mean anything, in terms of actually being able to adopt.

This. Though there are plenty of families out there who are drug addicts and downright scum who are allowed to keep the children they have, despite being the cause of their instability. It's ridiculous that the children wouldn't be immediately removed. I know they're of a mindset that the family needs to stay together, but not to the child's detriment. They really need to re-evaluate their conduct when it comes to children and their environment. For example, addressing the issue of homosexual adoption. There are still far too many places where this is inconceivable, despite how good the couple would be in providing a solid and positive family unit. It makes me sick that bigotry is frowned upon in normal society, yet perfectly acceptable in the business and organisational sector.

Okay. Went off on a bit of a tangent there lol. My bad.

I remember that newsclip and thinking it made sense ~ Lori was having a baby, even Ann Wilson adopted a baby girl about that time ~ I agree she's probably OK with it now, especially having all those godchildren to love! She said seeing her child run to a nanny would have been difficult for her personally and I believe that...lots goes into a decision like that.

That makes me so sad. I wish she could have had a child but she knows that she was in no shape to do such a thing. I respect her so much when I read this quote.
"I never wanted to be a half-musician or a half-ass mother..." because so many stars and "real" people want to have their cake and eat it to. Example Britney Spears. Children aren't just accessories and Stevie has enough common sense to know what it takes to actually raise a child properly.
