Anyone else feel sorry for Isabella and Connor?

I think these kids are well on their way to being completely f*cked.

They haven't been raised by their mother since the divorce and haven't been raised by their father since he shacked up with that poor Katie child. They are being raised by Tom's sister. According to the adults involved it is so they can receive proper Scientology training. Something tells me the bio kids won't be sent to aunt and uncle whatstheirfaceto learn how to be good cult members.

At least they aren't living with a crazy person anymore... their father is a nut job.

Yes, I do feel sorry for them. They never look happy in pictures and neither does Suri (Tom and Katie's bio daughter). I wonder if it has anything to do with the fact that they're always with Tom's family and Katie has been quoted as saying that "they call ME mom now." Ugh. Katie is NOT their mother...she is barely older than Isabella!

Anyway, I hope they aren't pushed off to the side simply because they were adopted...though it certainly looks that way, doesn't it?

the only thing i really don't like is that they are always referred to as their parents "adopted children". do they need to point that out? why can't they just say, "Nicole's daughter Isabella" or whatever. but other than that, I don't see what you see.

ugh. i feel terrible for them.

isn't that a sad price to pay for being "chosen"?

Maybe they are just tired of people getting in their personal lives, shouting from the rafters how they must feel, and cameras in their face every time they turn around.

They were raised and cared for by nannies so I don't think that they really care about Tom and Nicole. They do look sad.

Completely. It's so obvious that Tom and Nicole bought them as children to a) deal with their infertility and b) live up to the image of a *perfect* family.

I only wish them the best as it's so obvious there's no attention on those two.

What? I've never noticed anything like that with those kids.

"the adopted kids have been replaced by the real kids"

that's a sh*tty thing to say.

YES - absolutely.
You can see the sadness in their eyes.
So many people just don't realise what pressures they put on adopted children.
They want them to act as the bio children of the parents - even when they're NOT.
And the adopted child wants - with all their heart - to be the bio child their a-parents long for - but they can just never be.
The sooner PAP's and AP's realise that adoption is about finding another family for the adoptee - NOT a replacement family - and the adoptee is still allowed to know their truth - and know personally the family that they were born too - then the adoptee will be far better off.
Playing pretend is so terribly hard on a child.
Especially when for so many years they're told that they're so special and chosen - but then years down the track - they're just replaced by bio kids anyway.
It's selfish - and far too many AP's (I did not say ALL) adopt for their own selfish needs - and rarely think about what it really means to be the adoptee.

Dear Sunny,

I feel sorry for MANY celebrity's children, both adopted and biological! Too often these children are subjected to things that many ADULTS would have a hard time handling: Seclusion/over-exposure, over-indulgenge/purposeful denial of privilage, lack of privacy, paparazzi, not knowing if people like YOU or your parents/money/stuff, lack of any semblance of so-called "normalcy", people controlling your life for you, being considered "trendy" as a HUMAN BEING, etc. etc.etc.

While many people think that fame and fortune are the key to happiness, but this is RARELY the case as evidenced by the nightly entertainment news. Sure, there are some celebrities (I can think of several) who manage their lives and families very well but there are just as many if not more who do not.

Children are NOT trends, toys, pawns, gifts, accessories, pets or band-aids. THEY ARE PEOPLE and should be treated and respected as such.

I don't agree. I think that Isabella and Connor are just as much their "real kids" as the biological children they have had. Adopted children are very wanted. Parents wouldn't adopt them if they didn't want them.

I think you are projecting. Majorly!

I think you need to your research and read and hear what both Nicole and Tom say regarding their adopted kids. They are loving parnets to pre-teen teen kids and very much loved and adored both by their bio parents and adopted parents (step mom and dad). They go everywhere with TomKat and Suri they are always at their kids school and games etc. They visit nicole regularly. Tom and Nicole are like any other adopted parnets who had bio kids after wards they are concerned they will feel left out and different.

I think there is enough love to go around and they are treated just a good at the biological children!

I feel sorry for them because it just seems like they rarely get to see there mother. It seems like Tom has them under a pretty firm hand.
