vanx, the point of them meeting and agreeing so they can present a united front to the judge on this issue. show the judge they've worked out amongst themselves and they're just looking for the 'official seal' of approval from the courts. so hopefully it all works out.
and if she will 'never' be their mother then what is she then? people have been reunited w/ family after many yrs of being apart. to say that dismisses everything katherine and debbie have been working for tokeep things civil. hell....
also, vanx, u have fans here not happy w/ her presence YET u got fans in the WHY part of the forum talking about y mj and lmp divorced and they blame it on deb...they still defend lmp, who's done a lot of hurtful things to mj and said a lo tof hurtful things to him yet she's golden in their eyes. maybe this is where allthe animosity comes from. sorry but can u imagine a jackson/presley custody battle?
ewwwww
Yes, I know what the agreements behind the scenes are all about. Saves A LOT of money, time, and headache if you can reach your own settlement and present that before the court. I thought they had already presented the decision, I didn't know that that step hadn't been taken yet.
I still find it ridiculous that Debbie is looking for a way in. As I said in a previous post, if she didn't care much about her parental rights while Michael was alive, I don't see how that should change now. It's not responsible 'parenting' in my opinion.
Anyhow, I'm also not in Debbie's head, so I can't really have any knowledge of what's been going through her mind the last few years - it's just my personal opinion. You can't agree to give up your children to their father, come back a few years later, and say you made a mistake. When you adopt a child, the biological parent(s) have 30 days to decide whether they will go ahead with the adoption or cancel the whole thing. Would be great if the same thing was applied for surrogacy - unfortunately it's not since surrogacy isn't recognized by law. But really, you can't switch your mind around like Debbie did. That alone should show to the courts that her feelings toward the children are unstable. Personally, if I was out of the kids lives for so long as a mother, I wouldn't really feel comfortable entering their lives at this point. But I think they're young enough that if she's around them long enough, Debbie WILL become a mother to them.
As for blaming Lisa/MJ's divorce on Debbie... no comment. I'm not one of those pointing fingers in that department. It was Michael's decision and his decision alone, to leave Lisa and have children with Debbie. I can't comment on that, really. I have nothing against Debbie personally obviously because I don't know her, but by giving Michael children as a 'gift', she knew very well that she was having JACKSON children and that meant something. She would always know in her heart that she had
Michael's children, and so she did it in large part for herself, to have that satisfaction, and not completely selflessly for Michael, in my opinion. She could have chosen to have anyone else's kids. Heck, she could have been a surrogate mother for other couples and made some real money. She had
Michael's kids for a reason. I'm not saying it's a monetary reason, but for reasons I stated above.
I still think it's sort of "eh" that she wants in now, though. I'll always feel that way. WHY now? Your children are your children. You don't just decide to be a part of their lives when their father dies.
