Amy Winehouse: Was Planning To Adopt
Monday, August 01, 2011
The late songstress Amy Winehouse was in the middle of an adoption process before she was suddenly taken from us. She had plans to adopt a little girl from St. Lucia that she had become close with during her time on the island. The girl - Dannika Augustine lived with her mother who is a single parent (the father lives in Germany) who was apparently struggling to find a job and look after her 10 year old daughter. Amy had met Dannika's paternal grandmother at a bar she worked at and was really keen on helping the family. She had even spoken to Dannika's father and started the adoption process with both the parents permission. The singer was planning to return to St. Lucia in around a months time to complete the process, but now lawyers have had to cancel all arrangements on her untimely death...Amy was apparently called 'mum' by her closest friends, as she was always there to listen and help them through their problems - though she had problems dealing with her own. Dannika told The Sunday Mirror,
It's such a shame that she passed away so suddenly. It was inevitable with all the drugs in her system from years of abuse, but at this particular tangent of her life could have been the ingredient to make her better. Giving a child hope is such a positive thing and having a child in her life could have given her the hope and direction that she really needed. Hopefully there will be a positive turn-around in the family's lives through this tragedy.
SUCH A SHAME :(
"Amy was already my mother. I would call her mum and she would call me her daughter. She took care of me and we had fun together. I loved her and she loved me ... She was the most amazing person and I was looking forward to living with her here or in London. I cannot believe she is gone. This is the worst thing that ever happened to me."
