Ronan Farrow proud of growing up with special needs siblings
I am so proud of my family. I grew up across the table from Moses, who has cerebral palsy, and next to my sister Quincy, born of a drug-addicted inner-city mother, and Minh, who is blind. I could never have understood what it means to grow up blind or with cerebral palsy.
I saw problems and needs, so the next thing you think is: O.K., what are you going to do about it?
~ Ronan Farrow, son of Mia Farrow (pictured), as quoted by Vanity Fair, October 2
Mia Farrow is the mother of fourteen adopted and biological children.

Adoption |
Jill Stanek is a nurse turned speaker, columnist and blogger, a national figure in the effort to protect both preborn and postborn innocent human life.
According to a recent article Mia’s partner and father to her adopted and biological children, Woody Allen, was molesting one of Mia’s daughters. There was a great deal of family turmoil before Woody ran off with one of Mia and Andre Previn’s adopted daughters.
Yet despite the family tumult, Ronan, who may in fact be Frank Sinatra’s son and sure looks like it to me, has the fond memory of growing up in a household of children with special needs having the love and care they need.
Like any family there were issues and trauma, whatever public face people try to present. However there were also children in need who were provided a home, family, and at least one parent.
Woody Allen is a certified Creep from Hell. I never thought he was funny, either. Can you imagine if a conservative director did the things he did? He would never work in Hollywood again.
Isn’t Mia pro-abortion?
Woody Allen is a certified Creep from Hell.
ditto.
Woody and Mia are typical of the dysfunctional life and values of Hollywood.
And yet…. Mia was generous enough to love and care for a large family of children, many with handicaps and requiring special attention.
It seems that Ronan has learned to appreciate the good and let go of the bad, even the sexual abuse of his sister. Let us hope so, anyway. Sounds like he wants to be an agent for good in the world.
When I hear pro-aborts say that children should be aborted because they might see hardship or violence or abuse…. and then grow up and do the same. I wonder why they believe that behavior is so deterministic? A guy like Ronan saw all of that and worse, and was able to grow up and choose good over evil.

I did some web searching. It seems that Mia Farrow was a pro-life activist for many years, from the beginning of Roe v. Wade, and thus Ronan grew up in the pro-life home.

But apparently she has lost her way in recent years, and now she speaks to pro-abortion groups.
