Michael Jackson—pop star, father to Paris, Prince, and Blanket, and 50-year-old man who once faced (and was cleared of) child molestation charges—wants to be a daddy again. Jackson, who will be performing sold-out concerts in Britain this July, has reportedly told his associates to make contact with an adoption agency there. Apparently he believes he is an "ideal" adoptive parent.
According to a source in Britain's Daily Express, "[Jackson] senses he is viewed differently here than he is in the States. Before his concerts he has said he wants to spend at least three weeks in Britain, getting used to the time zone and exploring the country. It is during this period that he wants to have meetings about adoption. He has not said if he wants a boy or a girl, just that it would be good for the family to have another brother or sister."
This is a tough one. I pretty much believe that anyone who wants to be a parent should be one and it's not for us to decide that they can't be because they are too fat or too poor or too anything. But Michael Jackson really wigs me out. I feel so bad for the three kids he's already raising.
What do you think? Should Michael Jackson be allowed to adopt a baby?

Nope. I personally think that anyone even accused of molestation should not have access to adoption.
Plain and simple....he's a creep.
He was cleared everytime he was accused. I think he is just eccentric and misunderstood. There are no problems or abuse to the other three, why not let him adopt more? The kids need adopted, they will have siblings and a caring dad. Let him.
Uh..NO. Just no.
no
my gut tells me no.
Sure he was cleared of all charges but that doesn't change the fact that he was accused in the first place. Something is not right with this guy. He dangles children from balconies so the public can "see them." And he thinks he's the "ideal adoptive parent?"
Anyways....My answer is no.
I'm so torn on him. I don't buy the idea that anyone accused of child molestation should never be around children again, that's bs. Plenty of good men have been accused by teens and children who simply want revenge for something. It's something they warn parents about when they consider becoming foster parents, it happens. Did he hurt those kids? I don't know, and neither does anyone else. He's certainly a prime target for someone to lie about him in an attempt to get money.
BUT, he is clearly unstable. His childhood left horrible scars on his mental state, and whether or not he is fit to parent is something I'm not sure on.
Guess the question doesn't really matter anymore since he's dead...
