The biological mother of Michael Jackson's two eldest children, son Prince Michael, 12, and daughter Paris Michael Katherine, 11, reportedly told a reporter from the NBC affiliate in Los Angeles that she is willing to submit to DNA testing to prove her maternity, as well as psychological testing. She also said she would seek a restraining order to keep Jackson's father, Joe Jackson, away from the children, even though she surrendered full parental rights of Prince Michael and Paris Michael Katherine following the dissolution of her three-year marriage to Jackson in 1999. A judge has delayed a custody hearing, originally scheduled for Monday, until July 13, at the request of attorneys for Rowe and Michael Jackson's mother, Katherine.

The two oldest have he chin so either she’s the mother or Jay Leno is the father.
I find it rather interesting that she only decided to fight for the kids after it was announced they get the bulk of the estate. Mother Of The Year.

What kind of mother deserts her own children? I just can’t imagine this. My gosh 1999, that’s 10 years ago. They were babies.
She may have given birth to them, but their mother she is not. She is trash.
It’s always sad when family fight after the death of a loved one.
This dispute will go for a long time. So much money (and debt) and everything at stake. Sad to see them fight
And poor kids.

She is out for money, that is all. She doesn’t know these children, they don’t know her, and why would she want to split up 3 siblings? Would she want to be the youngest left all alone? Splitting up those poor kids is criminal.
I think debbie should have Her Children if She will take good care of them.
Thair Grandmother is to old to try to take care of them and a person woo was to take her place has been in trouble woth the Law.
They have been raised good I think and they need someone good for them.
Debby Rowe is after the one thing she has always been after….MONEY! I am sure there will be some out of court settlement and Debby Rowe will milk some more money from the grieving Jackson family.
ewwww she’s never even seen them and now she wants them? oh right and the GIANT BAGS OF CASH! those poor little kids, imagine being handed over to a stranger and being separated from 1 sibling, that’s horrifying!
I can’t stop thinking about this. This woman is the most loathsome kind of person I can think of.
Didn’t she ever miss her children? I don’t know; maybe she was allowed to see them from time to time. This I don’t know.
But if she hasn’t been in their lives…I can’t take it. I know what the gd courts can do to children. They gave my father custody of me even though he was an alcoholic.
Does blood always rule? Can someone tell me? Do these kids have a chance of staying away from her? I have a daughter. She is my life. I would give my life for her.
A woman like this; I can’t understand.
Who said she’s never seen her kids? That’s not true. She has not seen ALOT of them. And I highly doubt she’s not their mother. Prince Michael #1 looks exactly like her.
Now, I’m not condeming or condoning her past actions, but compared to a 79yr old woman and her a*hole husband who hangs around with the likes of Al Sharpton – Debbie Rowe is the winner here.
As the biological mom she has a legal right to reclaim the children. The judge did not allow her to relinquish custody. I guess if she talked to Katherine a lot, she was asking about the kids. I truly believe she wants the children that are hers. Not for the money, because she already has that, but because she probably feels guilty. That happens over time, when you adopt your children out.
This is getting more interesting. What rules? The father’s will? or the mother’s right?
Not only that, think about the family the children will be brought up in. They’re white; okay? The rest of the family is black and are “Jacksons”….I don’t doubt there will be some resentment…and everybody will look at them quite differently. From what I read, Michael never took his kids around the cousins, so they’re strangers to each other. The kids were traveling all over the world, they haven’t had a steady home since they were born.
Give them to Debbie; let Katherine visit them.
This is so absolutely disgusting. I think it shows how people offered “help” only for the pay back they saw from Michael. This lady was already given a monthly stipend. She put herself in the situation and agreed to not be involved. If she was so mentally stable-she would keep her word-not put these kids through this-especially a week after their father’s death. I hope his family is protecting them from the media and internet news. DNA does not a mother make. Even if he is not the biological father-as people are blogging-he has been their father since they were born.The babies were brought to Michael.Debbie was supposedly photographed for the media not because she was his loving wife.Can he never have peace-can his wishes or requests never be heeded even in death?May you rest in peace Michael.I actually feel a little less grief that you are free from this world and I will listen and watch you doing what you loved for the rest of my days. God bless your children and keep them from harm.
How do these people sleep at night. Sadly this is the mentality that this country is producing in spades. GREED is out of control!

I grew up with Michael. I have always loved him. He was paculiar, but that is part of why we loved him so much. If Debbie is the mother, she probably got cought up in the peculiarities and the money..I am sure. Give her a break and let her have her babies back. How would you like to be one of those kids now who don’t know WHO they belong to…must be totally confusing. Lets hope for stability and closure for them so that they can go on in life as whole individuals. Not with Joe Jackson by any means, but with their own mom and the legacy that they held with Michael. They will be OK. No more lies, just mourning over a wonderful, sensitive man who died way too early. The memory of Michael Jackson will remain forever. Let’s want the best for the kids.
