UPDATE:MICHAEL JACKSON IS NOT THE BIOLOGICAL FATHER OF HIS KIDS?
UPDATED ON 6/30/2009: A lawyer for Debbie Rowe is denying reports that she is not the biological mother of two of Michael Jackson’s children, Prince, 12 and Paris, 11.(Read More)
-Pictured:Michael and a younger looking Prince, Paris, Blanket.-
According to website Tmz, the late Michael Jackson was not the biological father of his three children and neither was Debbie Rowe their biological mother! In addition, it is being reported that Michael never formally adopted his children.
We’ve learned Michael Jackson was not the biological father of any of his children. And Debbie Rowe is not the biological mother of the two kids she bore for Michael. All three children were conceived in vitro — outside the womb.
Multiple sources deeply connected to the births tell us Michael was not the sperm donor for any of his kids. Debbie’s eggs were not used. She was merely the surrogate, and paid well for her services in the births of Michael Jr. and Paris.
In the case of Prince Michael II (the youngest), we’re told the surrogate was never told of the identity of the “receiving parent” — Michael Jackson. Three days after Prince was born at Grossmont Hospital in San Diego County, Jackson’s lawyer came to the hospital to pick the baby up and deliver him to Michael.
We do not know if Jackson chose the sperm or egg donors or if he even knew who they were.
Although Rowe is not the biological mother, it’s not a slam dunk that she would lose a custody battle. This type of case has never been litigated in California courts. Since Rowe was married to Jackson when Michael Jr. and Paris were born, there’s a presumption that she’s the biological parent. That presumption can be rebutted by other evidence.
We know there are documents outlining the whole arrangement for the birth of all three kids. Nonetheless, it’s still an open issue with the courts.

Umm..Duh he’s not the biological father. Did they really think they were fooling us? Seriously? But he is their father not through blood but through love which is what matters most. He took care of them and he’s the only father they know so that should be all they need.

All you people trying to say that Michael was the bio dad of those children need to take the blinders off!
Michael only wanted white kids, and those kids look nothing like him. Do you really think he managed to produce three white children in a row? C’mon!
Michael had serious issues with himself and his appearance/race and tried to hide it, and now its all going to come out and hurt those kids.
I do think the kids should stay with the Jackson family, however.
But again, some of you fans make me laugh with your blind support of Michael and your ignoring his shortcomings and strange, selfish, and destructive behaviour.

I did not know Michael Jackson, but he touched my life in many ways. I went to college because of this man. In 1986 Jackson gave $1.5 million to set up the “Michael Jackson UNCF Endowed Scholarship Fund”, aimed at students majoring in performance art and communications, with money given each year to students attending a member United Negro College Fund college or university. Thanks to his generosity 20+ students attend college each year on these scholarships. This was just one of the things Michael did for black people and the black community. In fact, he generously gave back to the black community both here and abroad. This man did not hate black people. It just kills me that people have decided to psychoanalyze him and diagnose him with self hatred and hating blackness itself.
It is offensive coming from whites, we do not all want to be white no matter what you may think. And it’s just heartbreaking coming from blacks. I don’t know if the man had vitiligo or not, since I am not privy to his medical records. If he did, what a devastating thing to go through in the hot lights of stardom. To be an icon- The one to break so many color barriers; this man was the first black man to have a video shown on MTV. And he did it without picket lines, boycotts, begging, or quotas. He did it on the sheer magnitude of his talent. They say you cannot deny genius, and he proved that to be true. Black girls, White girls, Asian girls, Russian girls all had Michael’s poster on their wall. Go anywhere in the world today and they play his music. He broke down barriers for us with a song and a dance. Imagine being that kind of BLACK Icon and waking up one day to find your color gradually fading away in patches. Yes, he could wear makeup, but how practical is that on stage dancing and sweating? You cannot put pigment back. How would you deal with that in the public eye? And the hair straightening, about 85% of African American women straighten their hair or wear straight weave or wigs and will have a fit if you tell them they are self hating. I could also list a lot of Black people who have had nose jobs, do we give them the self hate title also? Just something to think about.
As far as the kids are concerned, people adopt outside of their race every day. Its wonderful and great when whites adopt black kids, nobody accuses them of wanting to be black. But if a black person adopts a white child they hate themselves? If the kids are not Michael’s biological children, he basically arranged to have them, which is no different from an arranged adoption. I’d like to think he said “Just mix anonymous egg and sperm, I will take whatever I get. I just want a child.” But we are so race obsessed that it has to be self hate. Maybe he did not want to pass on the vitiligo and lupus which are both linked to genetics. We will never know.
RIP Michael, Thanks for the memories and the hand up. I will continue to pray for your children.

Soul Dancer,
Thank you for your comments and your memories regarding Michael Jackson. So many comments about Michael – by folks who did not even KNOW him – have been derogatory, rude, heinous, and disrespectful of his memory. I find this appalling. That is why YOUR commentary made me want to acknowledge it. Thank you for your thoughtful and kind words about Michael! He more than deserves them! I pray that the Angels have at long last welcomed Michael Jackson into the Heavenly Home that is now his; and I pray God’s everlating Joy, peace, protection, and knowledge of Him, be with Michael’s 3 chidren now and for the remainder of their lives!
Blessings to you also===
Y.

Soul Dancer that was very well said and I don’t usually give my email address or answer to any of these comments because you never know who you are responding to. But I had to tell you that you are so right and I’m so w/you on what you said. Keep up the great work continue absorbing as much knowledge as you can. Stay healthy and keep God in your life. He has a lot to give you and he has a purpose for you that you haven’t probably seen yet but it’s on it’s way God Bless You.
Love Peace

I agree with the person called “You idiots” because I know of a boy whose both parents are dark asains had he looks like a white persons child with blonde hair and green eyes so its possible to have white children he isn’t an alibino child nor has anyone skin problems. Also remember that Debbie Rowe a white woman is the mother of two of these children so it is possible. Also if you look at Prince Michael II or “Blanket” he has black hair and he has black eyes so it is possible. Remember that Michael Jackson had ancestors who where white on both sides of his family. The most dominate facil features are passed on to the child so eveything is possible look at the Hodgson twins.

Say what you want, people, it won’t change anything.
No one said that Michael wasn’t a great entertainer or greatly admired, so calm down.
Like it or not, it will be said again, since so many blind fans refuse to see the truth, that Michael had issues with his race and appearance. Keep in mind he did not openly adopt those kids, he made a point of pretending that they were his biological kids. Why? Because he wanted white kids. Black kids were not good enough for him, which means you people angrily defending him wouldn’t be good enough.
Also none of you don’t know him enough to rush to his defence, keep that in mind before you rush to condemn those who are not joining in on the “Michael Jackson is dead, let’s say only good things about him.”
He did make a mess for those kids to deal with after his death, and that’s a fact.
Still, entertainment has suffered a great loss with his death.
p.s.Those kids look nothing like him. Accept it and move on.

Since when adopting outside of your race mean you hate your race.If they(kids of adoption) were black you still would have said they weren’t his based on what they look like. People get together and stop being ignorant.I know a lot of black brothers who don’t take care of their own seed let alone adopt someone else’s,and where’s your proof that says Michael was the daddy from hell?Did you live with them?You should have watched Goodmorning America when they dug up old film of Michael and his children,and those babbies said that he was the greatest daddy in the world and how much they loved him.If he was such an indecent father and they were not bilogically his,the white man would have taken them a long time ago.I do believe they were his biologically,and if they were not,so what,he took care of those children,gave them his last name,and a life no one could ever imagine.Regardless of what anyone may say Michael Jackson was Daddy.God bless you Michael,may be some of these deadbeat brothers wil look at your example and be a father to their own chidren.

Thankyou to those who have something positive to say. We (the family) have been paying attention to what you all have to say and we are so greatful.
Prince, Paris, and Blanket are doing fine. They are enjoying the house. Jermajesty and Jafaar are having the time of their life!
Again thanks for all of the support.

All I want to say that Michael never judged anyone. Paris, Prince and Blanket ARE his children, period. It’s all about L.O.V.E. which is color blind! People should stop this nonsense. Some comments are totally disrespectful to Michael and his family. Let’s all help one another and heal the world, just like Michael taught us to.
Dear Jacksons, you are like family to me. Your wonderful music has been part of my life for almost 40 years. May the Lord’s Perpetual Light shine upon all of you forever!
I love you all more!
P.S.: I am of mixed race, my grandfather was German and my grandma black. However, I have a sister who looks nothing like me, she has blond hair and green eyes. Genetics work in mysterious ways.

You should shoot yourself for this comment, “Black kids were not good enough for him.”
But they were good enough for him to put a bunch through college??? Just stop it… Do you have any idea how long michael jackson wore make-up to make his skin still look black before he settled on depigmentation treatment. Do you know how depressing it is to wake up everyday and have to apply MAKE-UP to make yourself black ? Ask Lee THomas

Idk how to think the oldest two I don’t realy see his looks in him but the youngest I see Mike in him the most.I have an aunt and an uncle in my family who are really light with red hair and we are an african american family.It can still be a possibility that mj is the father of the oldest two but I wanna believe him but some stuff just hits me and this did.If he was father or not he loved those children and they loved him so bio father or not he claimed them so they are his children.This is how I feel in my opinion and
R.I.P Mj forever loved Mikey

Michael Jackson was a very talented man, a genius in music, dance, and entertainment. BUT let’s get real and acknowledge that he hated being black. Forget the nonsense that his father teased him about his big nose – he, Michael, used to tease his sister about her looks but she didnt go AWOL from her genetic roots. May be he was beaten etc – but why is it that none of his siblings went off the rails or appear to support that. remember he made his allegations when it was trendy for celebs to claim bad childhood traumas This guy really worked hard to pass himself off as white. Denying his father fits in nicely His final act of race denial was getting white kids and declaring they were genetically his as further proof that his genes had been “ethnically cleansed” of African traits. When that was not enough, he made sure that plastic surgery would make him look like Prince Michael II, the youngest of the kids. Wonder how much “getting white and keeping white” cost him. Not just the surgery and bleaching but also the hush money paid out for those involved not to say anything. BTW this includes the very secret sperm and egg donors for his immaculate fatherhood.

It’s amazing that anybody believed those kids, without any Black features showing, were actually MJ’s kids. The sad part is that he seemed so lost in his own world that he really believed his lies. In a strange way, I’m not surprised that Debbie may not be the biological mom of Prince and Paris because MJ never struck me as someone willing to potentially have “fat genes” passed down to his kids. The mystery about Blanket’s biological parents will be even more head-spinning. It’s too bad those kids will suffer through this drama.

I know many mixed kids who BARELY look a tad bit black, but you can slightly see some kind of features that they are. Those kids are black. IDK what anyone says. TMZ can be such BS with some of the things they report.
The oldest 2 kids look a lot like Michael in the face if you look at his old pictures (when he was “black”). They share the same head shapes and cheek bones. The oldest son is also NOT a blonde. That ice blonde hair he has is dyed!
Skin color, big lips, and big noses doesnt mean a persons black. I know many full black people who have slimmer noses, and smaller lips. So for this kids to only be HALF black, its not the matter of looking for “black features” but similarities between the parents, and it may be a hard thing to find since MJ’s appearance has changed, but you CAN see him in those kids.

I can understand why people want to believe those are his kids. I can see the youngest being his. he has the same look about his face. but michael also claimed that blankets mother was also black. i know it happens. i know black parents have kids that look very white. but 3 out of 3? come on! not one of them has any real curl to their hair. not one has anything more than a tan. unless michael had the most amazing ability to pass on only recessive white genes those are not his kids. as for the Hodgson twins… the “white” one still has curly hair. i’ve seen mixed kids who are pale, blue eyed and blonde, but they still have curly hair. imo blanket looks like he might be miko brando’s kid. he look more italian or spanish than he does black.

If the kids aren’t Black why are they being featured on the Black Celebrity Kids site? I hope that just as the press has shown personal documents of the late MJ such as his death certificate and last drivers license, the alleged “proof” of DNA of Mr. Jackson’s offspring and TMZ’s sources should be splattered all over the media. Even though we have a President (Obama) now who himself is half White and half African, racism is rampant in the U.S. against African American people. May Mr. Jackson rest in peace free of the burdens of this world. Even though he was richer than the average White man in his life, he still doesn’t get the respect that the poorest White man takes for granted in our society. Wake up people!!

does it matter if those were his biological kids? he loved those kids and had custody of them. you don’t HAVE to be a baby’s biological parent to love, protect and take care of them. biological or not those ARE his kids. okay, they’re white and? Michael even said Blanket’s mother was black.

ALL THE THINGS THAT HE DID WERE VERY DEEP. HE WANTED TOGETHERNESS IN BOTH WHITE AND BLACK. WE ARE ONE HE BELIEVES VERY STRONGLY IN THIS HE DIDN’T HATE HIS SKIN COLOUR HE HATED THE DIVISION IN THE WORLD.
HE WANTS ALL OF US TO BE TOGETHER THATS WHY HE GOT WHITE KIDS FOR EVERYONE TO KNOW THAT ‘AM BLACK BUT HAVE LOVE FOR WHITE’ SO VICE VERSA CAN ALSO HAPPEN.
ALL HE WANTED TO ACHIEVE WAS WORLD PEACE & TOGETHERNESS, THATS WHY HE SACRIFICED HIS LIFE FOR PEACE.
BUT AS HE IS DEAD I KNOW THAT HIS WORKED WILL CONTINUE TO GROW AND THERE WILL BE PEACE.
WE ARE ALL ONE ASIAN, BLACK OR WHITE.
MICHAEL YOUR JOB WILL DEFINATELY TAKE OFF ITS ALREADY STARTED WITH MADONNA, ANGELINA JOLIE ADOPTING KIDS FROM AFRICA.
SOONER BLACKS WILL ADOPT WHITES AND VICE VERSA.

I am brazilian and in my country some children of mixed couples are white. (In Brazil there are a great black population, but also great number of whites – germans, polish, etc and a greater number of inter racial marriage than in English speaking countries).
I do not know if Michael Jackson children are his biological children, but from the genetic point of view is possible.
In English speaking countries a person with a one drop of black blood is considered black, and is a myth created by slaves masters.
The low of genetics (scientific) tell a different story.
Michael Jackson has a mother with 50% indian blood, 25% black and 25% white. His light eyed father is 50% black and 50% white. His physical aspect was mostly black, but he has white and indian genes that did not express on him or his brothers. White skin, blue eyes, etc are recessive genes (that means that in the offspring of a mixed couple, do not express in the first generation, but they may express in the third or fourth generation).
Michael Jackson supposely has children with a white woman. That’s mean that his children are mostly white from the genetic point of view.
In English speaking countries usually the offspring of black and white marry black again, so their white genes usually do not express. That and discrimination is what make so many americans confused.
In the rest of the world is a person is 1/2 black and 1/2 is a mulato. If a person is more than 50% black is considered black. If a person is more than 50% white is considered white.

The more I look at these kids as toddlers and babies, the more they appear surreal and dressed as though they’re from another bygone era.
I’m sad that their Dad died, but maybe this is a ticket out of Bizzaro World for these kids and they may have a chance at growing up in a little more down to Earth, at least quasi-normal life.

Some of you are doubting that blacks or biracial blacks cannot make white kids. Check out this site. This woman’s father is a black Jamaican man & her mother is what Canadian. She married a white man & you see her children. They don’t look like they have an ounce of black do they? [link removed] The point is, stop defining people by their race…Sheesh!!!

Michael was just Michael.. listen to his songs he says it loud and clear ” don’t you black or white me ” ” I don’t want to live my life being a color” he wasn’t a color he was just himself. He loved everybody & lived his life color-blind which I find amazing and beautiful. He adored his 3 children and they were the loves of his life. He was a wonderful father. Michael had issues but none of us can imagine what it was like in his world. He was rich beyond belief yes but being that rich and that talented brings on its own set of problems that NONE of us will ever know. I only wish he had so much support while he was alive. People ridiculed him & tortured his soul to the day he died and now people want to ”claim” brother Michael? No.. believe me HE KNOWS! Big love&hugs to Michaels mother Katherine I wish I could tell you everything is going to be ok but I can’t even begin to imagine your pain.

Speculate to break the one you hate
Circulate the lie you confiscate
Assassinate and mutilate
.. It’s slander
You say it’s not a sword
But with your pen you torture men
You’d crucify the Lord
And you don’t have to read it, read it
And you don’t have to eat it, eat it
To buy it is to feed it, feed it
So why do we keep foolin’ ourselves
Just because you read it in a magazine
Or see it on the TV screen
Don’t make it factual
Though everybody wants to read all about it
Don’t make it factual, actual
You’re so damn disrespectable
-Michael Jackson Tabloid Junkie
IGNORANCE IS MANKINDS MOST INFECTIOUS DISEASE…people love to judge and speculate without knowing the facts…ignorance promotes prejudice..and hatred..people want to bring down what they don’t understand ..and are so unnaccepting of anything that is unlike you…to say he hated his race is ignorance..all he ever did was promote love for mankind of all races..promote unity and brotherhood..to say Vitiligo isn’t real is ignorance because its a real disease and he isn’t the first black man or woman to suffer from it…so he was self concious about his nose and got a nose job because his own black father would humiliate him calling him big nose everyday…millions of us get nose and boob jobs everyday for the same body image issues he did…its human nature..people make fun of you enough u get insecure..his issues were not racial they were about childhood issues..of being patronized and attacks to his self esteem..and he spent his life creating escapism..he built a world around him where he could escape the harshness of this world…and people like many of you..aand his father..and find a happy place under that miscrope fishbowl he lived in…yet many of you still have the nerve to come here and judge the skin color of his kids as if you were all experts in genetics…Im not going to sit here and say he was perfect because no one is.. And we all have issues..he was human..but a decent one..not just a decent one but a phenomenal one..because despite being attacked from left and right he still found the strength to face the world and spread a message of LOVE and Compassion towards eachother…and to all his haters..tell me who the better person? One who spends his life donating millions to charities…singing songs of peace and love..helping the environment..caring about sick children..setting up funds for his own black community to have the opportunity to go to college..and generally bringing people happiness through his inmense talent…raising three beautiful kids with the same values and love for mankind…or you who sitting here bashing them..and judging skintones?..that’s what’s wrong with the world..go spread some love.
