I'm actually smirking at the fact you think an adoption agency would hand over a child to a drug addict on the off chance that they might 'snap out' of their heroin/crack/whatever it was that week addiction.

Its so ridiculous!!

And remember! Her addictions could have only be some dreadful rumours and gossip, made up by the press.

We're not MD's like.

The adoption laws in some countries aren't too stringent when it comes to track records. In this case we'll never find out as the tabloids apparently got it all wrong, and she's dead anyway.

Well the media got the adoption wrong, so who knows what else they got wrong?

I'll happily stick with my opinion, in the same way that you'll stick with your blinkered one.:D

The only one "blinkered" around here is you.

Trying to play down Amy Winehouse's addictions as gossip and speculation is ridiculous. Both her parents were very open about how distraught they were over it & both have spoken to the media with regards to it. Also, the numourous shocking photographs, shambles of performances (as recent as a few weeks ago) tell another story. She had to have security to look after her at home for gods sakes.

And for you then, to say oh she might snap out of it if she adopted a child is so ridiculous, I actually can't believe it!

Hypothetically, if the parents had agreed to the adoption I'm not sure if authorities need to be involved. This was obviously a situation whereby Amy said something like "Oh ma god, I would soo adopt you" and they got in afterwards looking for a quick buck for the story.

The child's parents are claiming that she had wanted to adopt their daughter, but her rep has since denied it.

You can believe what you like, but I'll take my opinion based on real-life experience over yours anyday, because I've seen such scenarios happen.

Just keep thinking inside the box.:D

This is a prime example of someone not thinking outside the box. The come-back would have been much better had you tried harder and been more imaginative.:P

I really don't think it's thinking "inside the box" to say that Amy Winehouse had serious issues looking after herself, I do think it's closed minded saying that bringing a kiddie into the equation would have magically fixed all of her problems. She knew the child, and she was still having drug/ alcohol/ emotional issues, her act wasn't any cleaner than it was before. Don't you think that if a child would have fixed things for her, then she would have snapped out of it before she died? She also had a goddaughter that she loved very much and that didn't make a difference either. I'm sure she had talked/ thought about/ wanted to have children but what woman of her age doesn't?

spot on

If "thinking inside the box" :rolleyes: is thinking that giving a person with serious addiction issues, drink, drugs etc. a child in the hope that they "snap out of it" is wrong, then so be it.

I agree .. I wouldnt suggest for a minute that this wasnt a caring woman, but I wouldnt trust her to mind my goldfish for a night, so I'm still dumbfounded by those who think there was a chance she'd be getting a kid.
