<p>TMZ is reporting that neither his sperm nor her eggs were used in the invitro procedure.</p>
<p>[Jackson/Rowe</a> Not the Biological Parents | TMZ.com](<a href=“Jackson/Rowe Not the Biological Parents”>Jackson/Rowe Not the Biological Parents)</p>
<p>Also reporting the Michael Jackson never actually adopted the children.</p>
<p>If that’s the case, how soon before Joe and Kathryn move to have the kids disqualified from inheritance?</p>
<p>You don’t have to be a kid to inherit. Just be put in the will.</p>
<p>
Yes, but that’s not quite what I said. The parents are already making noises about there being no valid will, so I would not be surprised if this wasn’t the next step.</p>
<p>CNN says MJ’s will was found:</p>
<p>[Michael</a> Jackson will from 2002 located - CNN.com](<a href=“Michael Jackson will from 2002 located - CNN.com”>Michael Jackson will from 2002 located - CNN.com)</p>
<p>I am really afraid for those kids. I already raised the question about Joe Jackson on another trhread. Now this. Imagine someone pointing to a test tube and said meet your parent? That will be cruel. Who would break it to the kids if this is true. How far down this road should we go ? Reminds me of “A few Good Men” that sometimes you can’t handle the truth.</p>
<p>I’ve mostly stayed away from the coverage but didn’t several of the Jackson children say as adults that Joe was abusive? That concerns me.</p>
<p>Even if it’s not MJ’s sperm, he didn’t need to adopt them. Think about when couples use donor sperm or a donor egg, there is no adoption. The parents are the people listed on the birth certificate and it is up to them to disclose the donor information to their child or not.</p>
<p>Michael Jackson himself said that Joe was abusive. Joe Jackson gives me the creeps to look at him. </p>
<p>Those kids will be pawns to be used by unscrupulous people for their own gain. I do hope that Grandma Jackson can help those kids.</p>
<p>I do too except that Grandma Jackson lives with Joe Jackson and she didn’t keep her own kids safe (not that the abuse was her fault, just that they clearly don’t/did not have a very healthy relationship themselves.)</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>The media has already broken it to the kids, sadly. </p>
<p>But there are already plenty of test-tube children and they’re just fine. This isn’t “A Few Good Men.” The problem is not that these are test-tube children; it’s that the media doesn’t know when to say when. Enough is enough.</p>
<p>Doubt that Joe and Katherine woudl try to have the kids disqualified fromthe will.Thats woudl be serioulsy mean-spirited. More likely they’ll try to get custody of the kids and control of the inheritance or trust (if there is a trust set up).</p>
<p>“Those kids will be pawns to be used by unscrupulous people for their own gain. I do hope that Grandma Jackson can help those kids.”</p>
<p>She couldn’t even help her own kids avoid abuse from her husband. Michael says he was physically and emotionally abused. Her daugher Latoya has said she was sexually abused by her father and her dad knew. She later recanted, but given the power of the family, it’s possible she told the truth.</p>
<p>There are now multiple threads on the parent board with all this same info.</p>
<p>There will be a multitude of stories, rumors, theories, etc. about all of this. Let’s just give it a chance to play out a bit…</p>
<p>Ok, not trying to be funny here, but is this (the part about Michael) a surprise to anyone? Really? Truly? IMO from day one it was painfully obvious that these children were fully caucasian. I was a little surprised, however, to hear that Rowe is not the biological mother.</p>
<p>As a side note, I have heard repeatedly that Joe Jackson lives in Nevada, not with his wife (if they are even still married).</p>
<p>RebelCats seemed to have figured this out on another post from the 26th.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>AnnudduhMom, Zinokey and Northstarmom also mentioned it.</p>
<p>I think Missypie’s comments about Michael “not wanting his children to look like him” was very insightful.</p>
