back to sheryl.... here's what i was wondering. did she adopt a healthy, newborn, caucasian boy?

i hate to be crass, but those are hard to come by for regular everyday non-celebrity white folks. especially single ones.

i'm just saying.

I am so happy for her. Congratulations to Sheryl. I hope we get to see some pictures of her and the little tyke soon.

Good for her for fulfilling her need to raise a child.
She has the means to give this little boy everything money can buy.
Um, except a father.

On that count, I have to say, poor little boy.

I believe she has a brother and her father is still alive. I doubt the child will lack a strong male influence in his life. I would much rather see it that way than in some dysfunctional parental relationship where the parents are together for the sake of the children.
It always slays me when people who don't even have children think they know how to write the book on how to raise them.

Uncles and Grandparents aren't fathers.
It's always easy to compare anything to a horror story to make it look good, re: the dysfunctional parent schtick. I mean, I'd sure rather have a broken arm than 2 broken arms, and a tumor. So, I can survive a broken arm.
Broken arm, not so bad

I don't have children, no. But I was a little boy at one time. And I wouldn't have traded my Dad for 6 rich and famous mothers and all the extended family in the world. Being a parent...no experience. Having a dad, I did that for 32 years. Please, find me a man who will say his father was unimportant, and taught him things anyone could have. And no, guys with ****ty male parents who were drunks or abusers don't count.

It is just supremely ironic to me that she can give a kid every material thing on earth, but the one thing I think was most valuable to me as a kid, she didn't bother to do. The world is a funny place.

Let's hope that Sheryl doesn't turn into Joan Crawford just because the kid uses too much toilet paper.

Good God. Are you high?

I wouldn't have a father without an Ovum either. But the Ovum isn't gonna live with my Mom, be there to help me with homework, etc.

No. I'm not high at all. My point was your grandfather was once a father himself and therefore should be considered a journeyman at the job.

Maybe you'd like to see Alec Baldwin as the adoptive father instead?

Possibly. But still not a Dad in the house.

Oh, yeah, sure. Him or OJ.

[markolas]

Yeah, without a dad, who's to stop her from indoctrinating him into homosexuality and witchcraft?
