 <link>http://www.proudparenting.com/node/3261#comment-48834</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;I have to agree with the last response.We know nothing about this, and to write a letter I feel is wrong.  I child needs love not just a mother and a gather.  hat about the millions of single parents out their raising healthy and loving children? Hopefully none of Michael Jackson&#039;s children well ever see this letter.&lt;/p&gt;

 <title>Michael Jackson&#039;s family is</title>
 <link>http://www.proudparenting.com/node/3255#comment-48826</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;Michael Jackson&#039;s family is still reviewing the contents of his last will and testament, but many people can confirm the details of the said will, since it has already been published in the internet. Michael Jacksons&#039; last will could shine a light on what he intended to happen to his property and fortune once he had passed, and what he had provided for his heirs, and it has been published on the Smoking Gun website.  He leaves his estate in trust, and his children in the care of his mother, Katherine, and in case she is unable to care for them, to Diana Ross.  At one time, Jackson was considered to be Ross&#039; protégé.  However, Michael Jackson&#039;s last will doesn&#039;t cover what to do with all the money lenders he owes.&lt;/p&gt;

I certainly do not mean any disrespect.  I am not judging, just trying in my own way to be supportive in relation to nature of this blog and my advocacy.  Yes, they need to grieve and my heart and prayers go out to them.  I just hope their bio-father/mother reach out to them.  I know several who have experienced the rejection of a bio-donor-father - I/we don&#039;t want to see that happen to them - or any future &#039;donor&#039; conceived.  &lt;/p&gt;

 <title>I feel like donor conceived</title>
 <link>http://www.proudparenting.com/node/3250#comment-48767</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;I feel like donor conceived is very disrespectful of MJ&#039;s children. Their father just died, and you are talking about the &quot;biological parents,&quot; for all we know they may already know their biological parents.  Don&#039;t judge someone when you have no knowledge of what  you are talking about.  The children are already traumatized, now people are trying to drag them in all this drama.  Let them grieve please. &lt;/p&gt;

 <title>Michael Jackson&#039;s Children</title>
 <link>http://www.proudparenting.com/node/3261#comment-48766</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;In response to Cryokidconfessions. You nitwit, why would you write this letter based on rumors? With any luck those children will never see it. What on Earth happened to common sense? Anyone should know that rumors are going to abound when a celebrity dies, especially Michael Jackson.&lt;/p&gt;

 <title>More solidarity and support for Michael Jackson&#039;s children</title>
 <link>http://www.proudparenting.com/node/3250#comment-48760</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://cryokidconfessions.blogspot.com/2009/06/letter-to-prince-michael-&quot; title=&quot;http://cryokidconfessions.blogspot.com/2009/06/letter-to-prince-michael-&quot;&gt;http://cryokidconfessions.blogspot.com/2009/06/letter-to-prince-michael-&lt;/a&gt;...&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&quot;A letter to Prince Michael, Paris, and &quot;Blanket&quot; Jackson&lt;br /&gt;
By now you have probably heard all the major media outlets advertising that your dad is not your biological father, and that your mom is not your biological mother. I can only imagine how hard this must be, just days after your dad tragically died.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I am so sorry that you had to find out the truth this way, it&#039;s a cruel thing to do to a child - hide the truth about your identity and let strangers reveal it maliciously to you. Parents sometimes make these decisions (to keep a secret) thinking they are protecting their children. However, usually it backfires. Unfortunately, because of who your daddy was, this backfire has been made public and the entire world is watching you. It&#039;s not fair, but make the best out of a bad situation.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;But don&#039;t feel alone. There are thousands (maybe millions) of kids out there just like you - conceived artificially and denied the right to EVER know who their biological parents are. You three can change this!! Stories are flying around that your dad&#039;s dermatologist is your biological father. If this is true, you deserve to know, to know him - as your father. Ask questions, demand answers! Not only can you find answers for yourself, you can help thousands of other kids and adults out there who were conceived the same way!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Your daddy will always be your daddy, nobody can take that away - and it will take time to mourn his passing. But you also have a biological father out there, and you carry half his genes. His is part of you - he even looks like you! While nothing can mask the loss of your daddy, I hope that your biological father will step up and give you guidance and love, and support through this rough time and as you grow up. You deserve that as children and as human beings.&lt;br /&gt;
You also deserve to know your biological mother, and I hope for your sake that she stands up and acknowledges herself to you and provides love and support. A child needs both a mom and a dad, and to have only one and lose him is tragic but to be denied the ability to know both biological parents is horrific.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If you ever come across this, in a few weeks, a few months, even a few years - please know that you&#039;re not alone and that there are many others out there pleading for these same rights...and that one day we will prevail.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;

 <title>Note to the bio-father/mother(s) of Michael Jackson&#039;s children</title>
 <link>http://www.proudparenting.com/node/3250#comment-48759</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.proudparenting.com/node/3255&quot; title=&quot;http://www.proudparenting.com/node/3255&quot;&gt;http://www.proudparenting.com/node/3255&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Note to the biological father and mother&#039;s of Michael Jackson&#039;s children&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;How WONDERFUL it would be if the biological father and mother&#039;s of Michael Jackson&#039;s children, step forward, publicly acknowledge their connection and state to the world that they love, care for and will make themselves available to these (their biological) children if and when they ever want or need to find them and/or be a part of their lives. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This is an opportunity to REALLY make a difference and set an example for others to follow. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The &#039;donor&#039; and &#039;surrogate&#039; conceived of the world would be greatly thankful. &lt;/p&gt;

 <title>Agreed</title>
 <link>http://www.proudparenting.com/node/3245#comment-48755</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;Unfortunately, Disney&#039;s goal in making movies is not to be socially responsible and awareness-raising, it is to make money.  A movie with a gay plot for kids simply would not sell as well as a movie without gays.  But by refusing to make those movies, it reinforces the norms that lead to the prejudice that makes people not want to see the movies.  (How many commercials can you think of with a mixed-race couple, or where the man is doing the house work?)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I think people - all people - have a reasonable desire to see reflections of themselves mirrored back through the media.  I think it is important that, at long last, Disney is having a movie with a black princess.  Because what message does it send to children when they see all these movies with only white royalty, only white heroes and heroines?  So similarly, children get a message if the only depiction of love they see is heterosexual love.  But the industry will always lag behind social progress because they want to appeal to the greatest number of people, to maximize their profits.&lt;/p&gt;
