Watching the Together Again video I d/l earlier from adelate...

And I wondered... does JC ever feel uncomfortable or embarrassed that he doesn't have any pictures of himself as a very young child. On MTV's Snowed In, and on the little photo album segment in this video (which may have been the same picture, I can't remember), all the other guys had pictures of themselves between the ages of months old to a couple years old. Then JC's picture is of him at age 6 or 7.

It just kinda got me wondering. It'd be one thing if it was just him & his personal life. But when there're these occasions where he & his bandmates have to produce a photo from a certain era in each of their lives, it's instant comparison.

i've wondered that too.

there's been some rumors floating around that roy and karen were friends with JC's birth mom and therefore have kind of always been around. i highly doubt that, but it's out there.

i think it's probably more likely that either a. JC was placed with them as an infant (adoption can take years) or b. when Roy says that he doesn't mean a baby, baby. becuase really, no baby can sing. JC probably had to be 3, 4, or 5 to be repeating things back from the radio anyway which would fit with a foster care scenario. i tend to lean toward option b myself.

keep in mind, though, that this is all totally speculation on my part, and i'd love an actual answer, but it literally took years for JC to confirm that he as adopted; i doubt we'll get more out of him. i think for him, roy and karen are his parents and he doesn't want to diminish that by having the press and the fans and what not going into the whole 'real parents' deal. i mean, if you hear him talk about his parents, it's obvious that he loves them and loves them hard.

he's a lucky boy, either way.
