Actually Donnika it is her daughter by birth not adoption, you may be confused due to Victoria's work with foster care and the fact that SHE Victoria was a ward of the state and a foster child.

Rowell's first marriage was to Tom Fahey in 1989. They had a daughter, Maya, and divorced the following year. Rowell had a long-term relationship with musician Wynton Marsalis, and the couple had a son, Jasper (Jasper played Rowell's son CJ in Diagnosis: Murder).[10] Rowell was born Protestant and later baptized in the Catholic religion.[11]

In 1990, Rowell founded the "Rowell Foster Children Positive Plan",[12] which gives emotional support and financial aid to foster children, especially to those who aspire to become actors and dancers - the road Rowell took. In 2003, she was a special guest on the talk show Dr. Phil, in which she gave an emancipated foster child a job, medical and dental care, and a scholarship from her foundation.

I'm not criticising your use of percentages, but the fact that the number that you picked don't make any sense, as you can see from my maths post.

Rowell continues juggling various roles. She writes, she dances, and she gardens in her 1923 Hollywood Hills home. She takes care of her two children -- 17-year-old Maya, Rowell's daughter with her first husband, Tom Fahey , and 11-year-old Jasper, whose father is jazz musician Wynton Marsalis. Rowell also continues to act; her new film, "Home of the Brave," starring Samuel L. Jackson, opens in a limited run this month and then goes to DVD . She's also a big sister to foster kids. She founded the Rowell Foster Children's Positive Plan, which funds arts programs for foster children.

"I think an artist doesn't do necessarily one thing," she says. "I'm a writer that acts. I am an interior designer that dances. I am a dancer that gardens. People ask me what my exercise regime is, and I tell them I live my life."

Victoria Rowell will sign copies of her book at 7 p.m. Monday at the Boston University Barnes & Noble, 660 Beacon St.

Interview after interview, all of them point that her daughter is her biological daughter.

Meanwhile, in 1989, Rowell married Tom Fahey, an airline pilot. Shortly before the birth of their daughter, Maya, Rowell and Fahey divorced. Their blonde, blue-eyed daughter--Fahey is white--has caused many an uncomfortable moment when strangers insist she cannot be Rowell's daughter. The nurse in the hospital infuriated Rowell by not giving her the baby until she had checked and rechecked the wrist band identification. Being the daughter of a mixed couple herself, Rowell is careful to teach Maya about all of her heritage. When asked her color, Maya responds, "black and white." That's another problem with the foster care system, according to Rowell. At two and a half she was uprooted from the care of a white family because the system felt it would be better for her to grow up in a black family, even though she was just as much white as black.

Maya's birth coincided with Rowell's TV success. While she and Maya were visiting Fahey in Los Angeles, Rowell's wonderful range on The Cosby Show got her an audition for The Young and the Restless. She got the job and relocated to Los Angeles. At first African American audience members were angry at the negative stereotype that Rowell was putting across as Drucilla, but she was not bothered. "I knew there was going to be a transformation," she explained to Gregory in Essence. "It was scripted that Drucilla would turn her life around. She would learn to read and write, get a job--and study ballet."

Kristoff Sounds Off on Restless Rumors
by Daniel R. Coleridge
Young and the Restless star Kristoff St. John plays Neil Winters, a recovering drunk who may be reaching for the booze again. After years of clueless bliss, he'll soon learn that his daughter, Lily, now played by Davetta Sherwood, is actually his niece. Try to follow this: Neil's wife Dru (Victoria Rowell) has neglected to tell him that his brother Malcolm (Shemar Moore) fathered the girl in a long-ago tryst. Dru was very ill back then and somehow didn't know she was bedding her rascally bro-in-law. The real wrinkle in the plot? Y&R hasn't been able to lure back Moore — who now stars in CBS' Criminal Minds — to play out the paternity saga. In this exclusive Q&A, the Denzel of daytime tells TVGuide.com the latest dish on his soap sibling, as well as his bid to replace Italian stallion Fabio as a margarine spokesman.

TVGuide.com: Any luck getting Shemar Moore back? The show said no last time I asked.
Kristoff St. John: I don't think they've been able to reach an agreement for Shemar to return for May sweeps. That's unfortunate because Malcolm is pivotal for the story line as Lily's real father. There's still a chance he'll come back for a few episodes, but right now it's looking pretty grim.


Even so, Drucilla's daughter is still her biological daughter her husband isn't the child's dad but her brother in law is. [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/704555_dwl.gif[/img] [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/704555_dwl.gif[/img] [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/704555_dwl.gif[/img]

this is weird i find myself agreeing with donika a lot the past 2 days...

i find the book title offensive...

i find any english-speaking person using the term 'negro' to describe afrcian people(simply a spanish word for 'black') offensive in any form...

white people coined the term 'negro' to denote me as a race and i reject it, regardless of who is using it and especially in this millenium...
