Ok... completely off topic but WHAT does that mean? Maybe I'm a bit sensitive and taking it out of context because we are in the process of adopting.

Imzadi said:kdibattista, I did not mean ANY disrespect to adoptive parents.Sorry if it sounds that way.
We just have a running joke here on The Challenge that since Mimi Rogers, long ago said Tom is sterile, that most likely the baby is adopted.
I meant that any proud parent, in which the ink is barely dry on the adoption forms, and after the long process it usually takes, would PROUDLY say: "Yes sirree! She's our baby now!"Versus biological parents who might say, after 9 months of waiting, "She's finally here." But no parentage in question.
I will gladly edit my post if other adoptive parents are offended.![]()
BeckyEsq said:I am in the process of adopting as well. I have no problem with Tom and Katie asserting that Suri is their biological child. What I DO mind is people insinuating that she is not simply because Tom has adopted in the past. To me it demonstrates a hell of a lot of ignorance about the nature of infertility.
AND - What's with that title?

Might I suggest you read through this entire THREAD before you begin tossing names around - such as "ignorance".
No, it's the fact that his first ex-wife, Mimi Rogers, in an old Playboy (I think) article declared Tom to be sterile. This was long before he adopted children with Nicole.BeckyEsq said:I have yet to see a GOOD reason for believing she is not his child. I have only seen what I BELIEVE are ignorant reasons -- such as the fact that he has adopted before so he MUST BE sterile.

BeckyEsq said:Why am I being "hostile" just because I don't agree with the majority of posters here?
ETA: I understand there are some other reasons why people believe she is not his, but most of those "clues" occurred LONG after the rumors had started (pretty much the day they announced she was pregnant). And like I said, I am not calling anyone personally "ignorant," just a line of thinking that I do believe is rampant.
BeckyEsq said:But MANY people are basing it on the mere fact that he has adopted before.
Oh please. This is a fun thread and we have PLENTY of reasons to believe this is not his child. And the fact that he has adopted children is not even one of them. That's irrelavent. If you want to come onto a 130+ page thread and tear it apart, I suggest you read it first.BeckyEsq said:I have yet to see a GOOD reason for believing she is not his child.
And AGAIN, read the thread or stop arguing. You don't know what you're talking about.BeckyEsq said:And again I understand that SOME people, and perhaps even the majority of people in this thread, are basing their belief on that statement alone. But MANY people are basing it on the mere fact that he has adopted before.

As an official record, it IS available for anyone to see, but some of the more personal, identifiable info is left off the "public" copy.
I still think TC is nuts and I'm having serious doubts about there being a baby at all. I suppose time will tell.
