Mary J. Blige

Don’t expect Mary J. Blige to be joining the ranks of celebrities like Madonna or Angelina Jolie when it comes to adopting. Though she’s never had any kids of her own, the 38-year-old powerhouse singer claims she’s already got her hands full. At the New Yorkers for Children event, where she was honored, Blige said, “I don’t think I’ll do foster care or adopt, to be quite honest. I barely have time for my own children. To adopt more children and not have time for them, that [would be] poor parenting on my [part].” Blige is referring to her husband Kendu Isaacs three kids: Brianna, 23, Jordan, 11, and Nas, 10.

Do you hope to see Mary become a mother one day?

    Although I would love to see Mary have a baby of her own, I give kudos to her as a woman to know that a child needs love and attention from their natural parents and not nannies. I can truly appreciate her for her honesty

    hmmmm, i luv mary,but maybe she got burned and can’t have kids.

    I love her for that, she knows a child needs their parents and not some nannies for weeks at a time. Some nannies are good for babysitting but not leaving your kids with them all the time. That will back-fire when the kids get older.

    She’s not fertile anymore she’s on that HGH to keep her lookin young like LL is. Her eggs done dried up.

    I applaud her for doing what she wants to do and not because everyone wants her to do it. I would venture to say that 85% of Black children born today are to keep a man or plain ignorance concerning birth control. Every women doesn’t want kids and it’s good to know this before the kids are born, not after. Go head, Mary J and do YOU! Rip what the haters say or think. While they are worrying about your having kids you are keeping it real all the way to the BANK!

    children is a choice, today with all this new technology women can have babies well into their 50s! If god means for a child to be born, and that child has a purpose, who’s to say a woman can’t deliver a health child at any age! Unless you got one up on GOD! KEEP DREAMIN NOT!

    Not everyone is meant to have children, regardless of what some people believe. Personally, I decided I don’t want kids because I love my freedom to come and go as I please. Eighteen years is a long time to commit to anything for me…(LOL) Good for Mary J. for showing that it’s not a law for women to have kids. Most women act as though they didn’t have a choice, so good for her!

    Apparantly, in our community, it’s a law to have a couple of kids out of wedlock. It must be in the good book somewhere because if you don’t have them out of wedlock, you do not fit in into OUR society lol

    its true when a woman says she dont want kids that she really cant have kids!!!!! as far as mary im pretty sure she wanted kids but shes from yonkers and std’s take over everything. she done had an std and had it for too long which resulted in her being infertile. its kool mary we know!!!! we still love you!!!! but keepin it real means just that “KEEPIN IT REAL”!!!! I know plenty of woman that r like that. dont be ashamed girl. u dont wanna adopt cause being married to ya husband u had to adopt his kids. so anymore would make it too much to handle for you!!!! kepp it real mary.

    I LOVE MJB. MAYBE SHE JUST DOESN’T WANT ANY KIDS OF HER OWN RIGHT NOW. SHE IS A VERY BUSY WOMAN. SHE’S NOT GOING TO LET ANYTHING STAND IN THE WAY OF HER CAREER NOT LIKE MOST OF THE OTHER CELEBERITIES NOW-A-DAYS.
