I've seen comments asking why Mia was allowed to adopt so many kids. I know several families who have adopted more than 10 kids and have wonderful, happy families. These are often the families who adopt the kids that no one else wanted.
Mia got pregnant with Previn in 1970, while he was married. They married and had 3 kids, and adopted 3 kids, including Soon-yi. This was back in the 70s when it was much easier to adopt and there was no reason why they wouldn't be approved. They divorced in 1979.
In 1980 she started dating Woody. They adopted Moses and Dylan together and had Satchel now known as Ronan.
Then as a single mother, she adopted 6 more kids after the accusations about Woody. All are foreign adoptions. There was no reason why she would not pass a home study which was all that was required to finalize the adoption in the US. She had the means to provide for the kids and there were no allegations of abuse against her. She had kids who were already adults.
Two of her kids have died so she has 13 living.
