Amy Winehouse Was Planning To Adopt Before Death
By Robert Paul Reyes
"Amy Winehouse was in the middle of adopting a poor St Lucian girl before she died."
Amy Winehouse's death at age 27 was tragic, her family was devastated and her fans were crushed by the loss of the musical genius. We can't even imagine what masterpieces Amy would have created in her 30's, 40's and beyond.
It's hard to find a silver lining in this cloud, but maybe Amy's death will serve as a cautionary tale to Lindsay Lohan and her ilk.
I am devastated at the death of the troubled singer, but I am breathing a sigh of relief that Amy didn't have an opportunity to adopt a child. If Amy had survived, it would have taken months, if not years, of therapy before she would have been psychologically ready to properly take care of a child.
Maybe some of Amy's fortune can go towards the education of Dannika, it would be a fitting tribute to her generous and loving heart.
Thank goodness all of us, including Dannika, have Amy's music to help us through the rough patches.
