Stellina Baker is the 12th child of Josephine Baker. The French- American actress had created history by just adopting kids.
Though I’m saying it very lightly, the actual situation was not at all easy. Josephine has to go through a lot to keep the children with her. However, in the end, she was successful in doing so.
Moreover, after her death, the children are still setting examples of universal brotherhood by sticking together.
Today, we will be talking about the 12th child, Stellina Baker. She was the last who got adopted by the Baker couple.
But the question still remains why did Josephine decide to adopt children from different countries? I mean, if she wanted to become a mother, she could have had her own kids or at least adopted from anywhere.
Did she do that deliberately to set an example to the world? You can say so. Remember, we are talking about a time when adoption was a big deal. People were frowned upon and criticized for doing that.
The concept of own blood was still there. Now imagine Josephine not only adopted children at that time but also made sure that her kids would break the rules and convey the message of humanity over everything.
Stellina Baker’s Present Life
Yes, I know; you guys are dying to know where she is now or whether she has joined the entertainment industry, just like her mother or not. But to be honest, none of her kids are in the showbiz industry.
You know, when it comes to this walk-and-talk industry where people are just ready to judge you, most actors don’t want their children to be a part of the same chaotic environment.
You know, it reminds me of how Jennifer Lopez didn’t allow her daughter to work. Though a lot of people judged her for being jealous of her daughter, the intelligent crowd knew the actual reason behind it.
Likewise, Stellina has been living a private life since the beginning. When Josephine died, some of her kids were already married with kids. So, you can say that she accompanied her little ones for a long time before she breathed her last.
What do you think? Are they doing right by leading a private life? I think it is very thoughtful that they don’t want to make a fuss about it. Instead, they just want to live with the value of their mother.
Final Words
This story of parents’ support is not that old. You can find plenty of them now. For example, Olivia Rodrigo, the famous American pop singer, has achieved everything because of her parents.
Of course, her hard work was there. But no one can deny that her parents contributed a lot to her success. Josephine was a brave star. She not only rocked her performance but also made sure that she did something so exceptional to be remembered forever.
This is what a public figure should be. Truly elegant and truly inspiring.
