I so agree, JB! What child would not be safe and cherished in the arms of this awesome woman. She’s like a magnificent, fierce but fair Mother Earth!

I just get such a good vibe from this woman. I think she’d be cool to hang out with and have a couple of drinks. I think she would probably be a great mom, and I hope that she is able to make that happen.

She seems cool and grounded..and like she isn’t doing this for publicity or using the kid as an accessory! So good for her.

She will make a great Mom.
Could you image the laughter in that household?

congrats, and god bless for having the courage to adopt an american born child. i know it maybe easier in other countries but i am wondering if the parents of some of those adopted abroad are paid off.

With or without a partner, I agree that QL seems to be someone who will be an excellent parent.

geronimo you are spot-on! she is Gaea incarnate! I look forward to seeing these two out and about with children. My money is on them adopting older (not infant), harder-to-place siblings.

I LOVE Queen Latifah, and I get an awesome vibe about her, too – and Geronimo, yes you’re RIGHT – she totally seems like a Gaea mother-type.

You mean ‘Gaia’ mother type??…and she does. Salt of the earth

It’s spelled both ways, Anony, as Gaia and as Gaea, also as Ge – I know ’cause I just did a ton of research about Gaea/Gaia/Ge for a friend of mine a couple months ago, so I learned all about the earth mother goddess.

What a lucky child that will be! I don’t have to be told these two will make awesome parents.

A child is a child no matter where they are adopted from. I commend any body who adopts.

snowblood- yeah i have seen it spelled many ways so it gets confusing.

I had no idea that in the States adoptive parents had three years to change their minds!!
How terrible would that be?
I wonder how many potential adoptive parents change their minds when they hear this? Because that would be absolutely devestating.

She’s one of my very favorite actresses – one who brings a smile to your face just looking at her. She’s always so happy and normal. Did anyone ever watch Living Single when it was on? LOVED that show — way too funny!
Anywho…good luck to both of them, that child will be very lucky!

I love Queen Latifah so bad! I wish she could and would adopt me as her sister. I just love her so much. You’re the best, QL!

No, she has never come out of the closet. Most people think she is a lesbian, but she has never confirmed anything.

Ran, exactly my thoughts, she brings a smile to my face as well. And Czarina, i never heard this before too . I can’t believe that this is in the best interest of the child, growing up in one family and than what, completely readjust?

She has a rare quality that draws people to her; she’s instantly likeable and charismatic. She can be my Mommy anyday!

She is one of my absolute favorite public figures. I think she’d be an awesome kick-ass mom and I wish her and her partner all the best!!!

In the ultimate celebrity likability test (that is, “Would I have fun if I were stuck on an elevator with ____ ?”), Queen Latifah is WAY at the top of my list. She seems like she would be really great to hang out with and a great person to be related to.

Ask the child at age 10 if they are happy they have been adopted by lesbians and don’t have a father. I bet I know what the answer will be, especially if it is a little boy.

I don’t know Shane… I see your point, but maybe the kid will just be happy to have a home.
Report this comment as spam or abuse
Shane, I find your comment to be without merit.
In ten years a child, no matter what their sex will most likely view them as loving parents period not just lesbians.
I didn’t view my parents as heteros only, did you? Good parenting has nothing to do with your sexual preference.
Report this comment as spam or abuse
Totally disagree, Shane, this seems to be more YOU projecting your own prejudices on this theoretical child. Your assumption is also insulting to all same sex couples who choose to adopt or have children.
I’m sure they’ll surround the child with everything and everyone it needs to grow up a fully rounded, confident, happy, well-adjusted human being, and that’s all any child could wish for. The only problem kids who are born into or grow up in a same sex relationship ever seem to have is dealing with other people’s prejudices. People, I’m afraid, like you.
Edit: Daisy, exactly, well said.

AGREE SNOWBLOOD, AND ALLABOUTEVE….. what an awesome mother she will make. I’m surprised she has not this sooner with all of her friends having babies. I can just feel the love now… I bet the baby showers will be wonderful. Her friends will come through on that for sure.

it is harder to adopt here, to much indian giving.
i understand the attraction of foreign orphans. less mess usually. but can be done legally and completely, with no take back time.
but good luck to QL and family…

If Dana is gay, she will be doing a disservice to any child she is thinking about adopting. God created a man and a woman to procreate. Not a woman and woman to legally obtain a child.

There is no state in the US that allows birthparents three years to change their mind and take a child back. That is a ridiculous statement. While each state has varying laws about domestic adoption and some states have longer waiting period than others it is not as extreme as years. If the queen is going to adopt a child she needs to educate herself on the adoption laws in this country and make sure she makes accurate comments regarding adoption.

First let me say that I am thrilled to hear that “Queen” is even POTENTIALLY gay! As a gay woman who LOVES “Queen L” I think its FANTASTIC. In regards to her adopting a child… I think a child raised by her would blossom regardless of her sexual preference.
As far as the “god created man and woman blah blah blah” give me a break, a child adopoted by ANY LOVING parents is better than no parents at all. Further more being straight doesnt gaurantee a happier childhood. Sometimes I wish all the people who were against “gay marriage” would redirect their energies into fixing HETRO-marriage first. Do any straight couples even make 25yrs these days?

I just love it!!! Peace to you and total happiness.
Love to you both-

Good for the Queen and good for the child.I’m trying to understand why everyone is so reticent to admit the woman is strong,powerful,BEAUTIFUL,smart and gay.Who cares!She has herself together,{my fav thing),she keeps her business to herself.{my other fav thing}.I am a 53y.o. heterosexual and kudos and big props.to her and her partner.

Don’t particularly care about the woman one way or the other, but really, it’s extremely presumptuous of some of you people to so easily assume Latifah would be a great parent just because you happen to like her personally. The reality is that none of you people have the least idea what kind of parent she’d be and should probably find more relevant things to spend your time on.

i so totally agree with lboogie a child needs a father and a mother not two moms or two dads.
