Young Jacko Loved adopting kids

Late King of Pop Michael Jackson had reportedly revealed his desire to adopt children from around the world at the tender age of 12.

TheThriller hitmaker had been interviewed by Lisa Robinson on many occasions ever since the Jackson 5 rose to fame in the 1960s, and she remembers him having a sense of responsibility even at such a young age.

“I had him fill out a questionnaire when he was about 12. It said, ‘What would you do if you had a million dollars?’ and he literally wrote, Invest,” the Daily Star quoted her as recalling.

“He also said what he wanted to do was adopt 20 children of all races. He loved children,” she added.

Jackson, who died from a cardiac arrest at the age of 50 on June 25, left behind his children Prince Michael Jr., 12, and Paris Michael Katherine, 11, from his ex-wife Debbie Rowe, and 7-year-old Prince Michael II, known as ‘Blanket’, from an unknown surrogate mother.
