Charlize Theron: "I Need A Man!"

She dated a lot of white men though. At least those who the media has been able to find out who she's been with. Her and Will Smith have been very cozy together. He joked about taking her to the Oscars when his wife didn't want to go. I thought that was odd. lol. Of all the women he thought of it was Charlize Theron? But when you see pictures of them together they are very flirty with each other. As she has been in pics with a lot of brothas. Too bad white guys in hollywood don't seem to like her with black men. She needs to go the Kate Winslet and Brie Larson way and cast a black man as her love interest herself.

As far as how the way she is raising her son it's like @Thump was getting at he doesn't appear to have a male figure in his life. A straight one at least. But he is her adopted son. I just wonder how the biological parents feel about that, but again hopefully she isn't encouraging him to do this because a lot of it does come off as forced.

 

Her son's bio parents? They gave up any right to feeling any sort of way when they terminated their rights (whether by choice or not).

 

Yeah, but at times biological parents do come around every now and then. Not in all cases, but sometimes they do want to see the kids. My adopted cousins parents USED to come around every now and then when they were kids, not so much now that they are teens. My ex's adopted daughter's bio Mother took her to court to try and get custody back.

 

If it is actually a true adoption that was finalized (not just some sort of custody arrangement), right now, even with open adoptions, the bio parents have absolutely no rights. There are no states that allow them to have any rights, including that they will not hold up any agreed upon arrangements for the "open" situations. So for example, if I agreed to provide certain number of visitations or pictures or whatever over the years to the bio parents, if I changed my mind and said no more - too bad for the bio parents. That's how it is right now, that could be changed in the future, there are those who are attempting to do so in different states.

Just because a bio parent tries to pop up here and there, and the adoptive parents allow it (or not) doesn't mean they actually have any rights. It can be more difficult these days because of all the social media and such. There are plenty of situations where the bio parents will figure out a way to connect to the children.

It seems that many of the Hollyweird adoptions are open, even international adoptions. But again, the contact is that which is allowed or even promoted by the adoptive parents.

Even with "open adoptions" the birth certificates are changed and the records are sealed. Then the whole situation of whether or not the records are able to be opened later on, is another conversation.

But my point is, that the bio parents signed over (voluntarily or not) their rights to any input on how the child(ren) are raised, unless the adoptive parents are allowing it.

 

This is the Basic Instinct

 

Hahaha right? Stay on mission

 

A very beautiful couple!
