Amy Whitehouse and adoption
It has been reported that Amy Whitehouse was going through the process of adopting a ten year old girl, Dannika Augustine, before she tragically died.Apparently Ms Whitehouse was planning to adopt the girl who was from the island of St Lucia, she had already obtained permission from the girl's parents to proceed with the adoption process.
The claim has been made by the girl's grandmother, Marjorie Lambert, who runs a beach bar next to the hotel where Amy spent a considerable amount of time.
She said: ‘Amy loved Dannika with all her heart. I don’t know why Amy took to Dannika above all the other children on the island, but from the moment they met they were inseparable. They would spend all day playing, horse-riding and walking up and down the beach hand-in-hand. ‘Amy used to beg me: “I want to adopt Dannika. I want to take her to England.” She was prepared to move to St Lucia to be her full-time mum. ‘Amy wanted to have a child so bad. If she had not died, there is no doubt she would be here in St Lucia completing the adoption process.’
However, the claim has been denied by Amy's management.
