Sheryl Crow Adopts Baby Boy Named Wyatt

Just in time for mommas day. Congrats to her and to that little boy who will have a great ife. Love and peace to both.

Two weeks old??? So she paid someone to have the baby for her?

Wyatt Crow, hope he’s good lookin’

Maybe the baby was always going to be up for adoption, the mother might’ve decided to go ahead with the pregnancy rather than abort and signed up to an adoption agency during the pregnancy.

Very nice.

GS, people who decide beforehand that they will give up their baby once it is born do so directly after it’s delivered. In many cases they scout for potential adoptive parents before the due date, so that they baby has somewhere to go immediately. That’s probably what happened here; a mother knew she would give her baby up, saw Sheryl’s name on a list of people waiting to adopt, and took it from there

——————

EXACTLY.

She’s 45, it probably would’ve been risky for her to have the child herself… So honestly, who cares if she did or did not pay someone to have the baby for her. He’s happy and healthy and she’s the same… and it’s what she’s always wanted so no matter the means, it’s great news!

Cliniqua is just O.B.S.E.S.S.E.D. with Jennifer Aniston. LOL
Seriously, clinqer–get some professional help - your JA fetish has got to be a handicap in your social life.

I agree #13, so why not share that? What’s the big secret? A lot of women in her position, might like to hear about that. It might inspire them. She’s sharing the news she’s a Mom, why not share the news how you got to be a Mom of a two week old?
____________________________________________

Maybe because it’s none of anyone’s business? On top of that, why assume she adopted him at two weeks? There is nothing in her statement that says she didn’t adopt him as soon as he was born, or even that she already knew she was adopting months ago. Maybe some people just don’t like broadcasting to the world that they are adopting, it is not everyone’s priority that the world knows how “charitable” they are. (cough cough, not mentioning any names) I knew Cliniqua had to throw Jennifer Aniston’s name in there somewhere, she always has a hard on for Aniston. What a freak.

Check out her offical letter to her fans! at http://maplejuice.com/2007/05/11/sheryl-crow-adopted–baby-boy.aspx

I’m happy for her-what a precious bundle of joy for Mother’s Day…And to think she announced it on her website/blog…Love how she kept it quiet-it is possible to do if you want to do it that way. Wishing them joy and happiness in their new journey together.

Cliniqua and a few others- wow- haterade must be strong in your neck of the woods. Lay off it-enjoy life….

This is really selfish of her, she is going on 50 years old, and he heath has not been good. This child does not need a mama ready for social security, with health issues.

CORRECTION: “Her health has not been good”.

Hi Just Jared! This is off subbject, but do you have any ideas if Anderson Cooper is gay or not? I did some research, but don’t know 100% if he’s gay or not.
Can you please post pictures of him, if you have any. He is sooooo hottt and soooo charming.

Tell me about it!! God knows what they would have said about Angie. But when it’s anyone else, it makes it okay. *rolls eyes*

Clinqy–get some help for that other thing you do too. You know the one I mean. Spending your sad little days & nights posting anti-J statements all over the net under different handles. Angie really isn’t your imaginary friend.

Sorry 32, not me.

You’ll know it’s me by the only screenname I use. C L I N I Q U A.

I think it’s swell that Crowe has a baby, but hearing so much about adoption these days when it comes to stars like Angie, Ewan MacGregor, Madonna, Meg Ryan, etc. - I think it’s important to point out that there are diff ways to adopt. Crow should talk about that.

It appears as though Crow wanted a newborn, so she hired someone to have it FOR HER.

That’s wonderful, but it’s also no diff than if she had had a baby herself. She’s bringing a child INTO the world.

It’s not exactly helping a child that doesn’t have parents - and it’s vastly different than a family wanting to give a child that’s already here, a home.

A lot of people want a newborn though - just like they want kids that look like them - perhaps Crow has both who knows. No shame in it. But I wouldn’t cover it up either.

I am not the type to get all ugly on Crow, I’ll reserve that for her uppity friend Maniston, who said not too long ago, she’d “never adopt, it’s not for her.” I wonder if that makes Sheryl feel bad? I hear Maniston’s PR person recently tried to clean that little statement up, and said, ’she’s not ruling it out,’ I suspect because she found out her pal Sheryl was adopting, and didn’t want to sound like a totally cocky b*tch.

_______________________________________

Where do you even get sh*t like this, your own imagination? “It appears” as though you don’t have a clue what you are talking about. Just because Crow adopted a newborn does not mean she hired someone to have it for her. People give up their children for adoption all the time, unfortunately, and newborns are usually adopted right away. You are assuming Crow hired someone, why? Because she didn’t adopt a four year old, she chose to go about her adoption a different way and raise an unwanted child from birth? As you pointed out there are many ways to adopt. And just because she is keeping her personal life private, again unlike some other media seeking stars who adopt (madonna coming to mind), doesn’t mean she is covering up anything. She just knows how to be discreet and keep her child out of the limelight. It is remarkable how you don’t want anyone to assume anything about Angie, especially if makes her look bad, but you constantly do the same to other celebs.

Who are these people? Have adoption agencies thrown all caution to the wind and if you are a celebrity you get the pick of the litter? People wait on lists for years to get a child to adopt. I wonder how much longer the hip trend of adopting someone your nanny can take care of will last?

I’d love to know how someone her age and having had breast cancer is even considered suitable to adopt a newborn baby. Anybody else without celebrity status or her money wouldn’t be given a baby to adopt. She didn’t even wait 5 years to see if her breast cancer stays in remission. Just unbelievable.

Crow was diagnosed with early-stage breast cancer in late February 2006. Her doctors have stated that “prognosis for a full recovery is excellent.

From WIKIPEDIA

Congratulations to Sheryl on the adoption of little Wyatt. I wish them both health and happiness always.

I find the comments and discussion on the “how” she adopted (vis-a-vis the baby’s age etc) rather tasteless. Sheryl is a celebrity and presumably it is always easier to sidetrack things when you are famous/rich. This covers all the celebrity adoptions we read about in the press and particularly those from abroad. Do you know how long couples have to wait to adopt from abroad if they are not “celebrities” - a LONG LONG time. Celebrities can sidetrack all the endless red tape and also employ teams of lawyers which ordinary families generally cannot afford. Also, not everyone adopts a child in order to save the world - some people just want to adopt a child fullstop.

Good luck to them.

CLINIQUA: with regards to Jen : you are going to get your fat hairstylist ass kicked soon enough.

She’s 45 and a breast cancer patient in remission. she should pray that her cancer won’t relapse. pray that at least she live to see her son went to college.

Congrats to Sheryl and her new baby boy. I know she’s wanted a baby for a long time and finally she has one. A woman who doesn’t just do the talk but also makes it happen for her, as it should be.

As for her getting special treatment. Please! Can we all agree that ALL celebrities get special treatement and call it a day? Yes, I’m sure ultra private Ewan Mcgregor didn’t wait for all the regular time others do to adopt his baby girl from Mongolia and neither did Meg Ryan. But because the media doesn’t care about either, they are not subject to criticism. Same with Sheryl Crow. Like someone said before, there are many ways to adopt and people are free to choose the best way that works for them. The important thing is that one more baby in this world, be it in America, Africa or Asia has found a lovely home.

Happy Mother’s Day.

There is a long list to adopt newborns, let alone newborns here in the United States. Let’s not even talk about the wait list for white newborn babies. How was she able to do this? HOW? HOW? HOW? Who did she pay off and how much?

Something is fishy about this adoption. She adopted her baby in the US. Check out People.com.

She can’t adopt a baby in the US since she’s old like 45 and not marry and was diagnosed with cancer.

WHAT? Aren’t any of you educated? The information is out there, don’t make stupid accusations based on your own ignorance.

Domestic Adoptions
In the past, the upper age limits for adopting parents followed by domestic private agencies was set by a 40-year “rule of thumb”: adopting parents shouldn’t be more than 40 years older than the child they wanted to adopt. Today, that age limit is creeping up as the Baby Boomer generation changes definitions and perceptions about age, health, physical limitations, and life span. More and more agencies are encouraging older persons to consider infant adoption.

Advantages of Being Older
Emotional maturity
Financial stability
Stable values
Stable marriages/partnerships (for couples)
Time and patience
Extended life expectancy allows longer active parenting years
It isn’t important to look like a young parent. More and more people are putting off starting a family until their 40s and what you look like isn’t important. The love and commitment you give to a child are what’s important.

The number one reason single parents want to adopt is the fact that their own childhood was fulfilling and happy and they are ready to share that experience. Single parents approach adoption with the same commitment and devotion as a married couple. With the high divorce rate in this country, single parent adoption provides a much more solid environment: a home free from the issues of an unstable, broken home and its effects on the child. Single parents are usually of higher education and have higher incomes in comparison to the country’s average. They have concentrated on their careers and have established a stable home that would benefit a child. Divorced parents are dealing with emotional and financial stress, which can negatively affect a child. A New York Times article reports that out of one-fifth of the nation’s 51.1 million Caucasian children, over half of the 9.8 million African-American children, and almost one-third of the 7 million Hispanic children live with one parent due to divorce and unwed mothers (17). With these types of statistics, there is no reason to discriminate against a single person for adopting a child when she/he is quite capable of providing a stable and nurturing environment.

How cool that she made an announcement to all her fans. That is impressive with something so personal.

I love the name Wyatt. Congrats to Sheryl! I think she is a strong successful women with all she has endured in life. I hope all her dreams come true with this special blessing from God. She deserves all the happiness she can find.

This is how I picture CLINIQUA - spell me if I’m wrong. CLINIQUA is 35 to 40 years old, 5′4″ tall, 287 pounds, hook nose, shoulder length, smelly, brownish no-style hair, a mole on her chin the size of a grapefruit, single, barren and bitter, and without a shadow of a doubt, the nastiest sub-human on the planet. Did I forget - not easily employed. Congratulations Sheryl. You go, girl.

jeeeez women. can’t live w/them, can’t livew/them. i hope the little feller gets to breast feed. i know i would!

Why is it that women criticize other women in their 40’s for wanting to be a Mom? Sounds like jealousy and envy to me.

I am a woman in my 40’s and the way some of you would have it once you reach the age of 35 women 36 and over are not qualified to be mothers because we are ready for social security. S.S. doesn’t start until one reaches 67, thats a 31 year age span. At that age, your child could have completed a doctorate, married, and started a family of their own.

The women in my family live well into their 90’s, my grandmother is 96.

SO THERE, THINK ABOUT THAT.
