Of the 10 who were adopted, 3 are dead and 2 have been disowned. Of the 3 dead, at least I was estranged from her mother for years. Farrow's eldest daughter, Lark, who died of AIDS, struggled to raise two HIV-positive children alone for years, with no help from her mother (and presumably, Andre Previn). She and her younger sister both had behavioral issues as adolescents: shoplifting, drugs, and unplanned pregnancy. Another daughter from post-Allen adoptions died of heart disease in her teens. A son, also a post-Allen adoptee, shot himself shortly after moving or being kicked out of her home. Like an earlier poster, I know something about the Farrow household (Allen never lived with her) due to the small world of Manhattan rich kids, though from the service side of things. A colleague who worked there described the Farrow apartment as "a sty," not fit for children to live in. "You know cat ladies? She's that, except with children," he said. The person described the Previn children as gifted but out of control; one had behavioral problems severe enough to merit expulsion from multiple tony prep schools. My colleague was in Farrow's employ well before the accusation and the custody battle. I believe there were only 5-7 kids at that point. Mia Farrow sounds less like a parent and more like a hoarder of children. And her adopted kids seem to be always on shakier ground. The way she talks about the children she cuts off is pretty shocki
