Who is the biological mother of Nicole Richie?

Processing all the emotions around one set of parents is never easy, as anyone who has been adopted knows.Learning to trust the couple that adopts you is hard enough, but there is also that sinking feeling of being abandoned or unwanted by one's original set of parents.It wasn't an easy feeling to shake.

Many people forget that Nicole was actually adopted, even though they know that her father is a famous singer.She was nine years old when the adoption was finalized and she was able to make sense of the world.

She wanted nothing to do with her biological parents after they left her.It is possible that her past drug problems and arrests have been a result of this first relationship, which left much to be desired.Those of us who are open to change do.

When she became pregnant with her first child in 2007, she thought about her biological parents and decided she could make room for them in her life.

On September 21, 1981 Nicole was born to Karen Moss and Peter Michael Escovedo.By the time Nicole was 2 years old, her parents were fighting over money and relationship issues.Lionel saw Nicole for the first time.

The 2-year-old kid was playing the tambourine in the middle of the concert.I went backstage to see the mother and father and they were having difficulties with their relationship.I told you to put the kid in my house until the tour is over and we can sort this out later.

Knowing they couldn't properly look after Nicole, her biological parents agreed to let her move in with Lionel.

Nicole said that her parents were friends with Lionel.They believed that they would be able to provide for me.

It took me about a year to fall in love with Nicole.I said, "Let's adopt her" when I was Dad.

Lionel and his wife, who were legal guardians up until that point, made the adoption official for Nicole when she was 9 years old.

Nicole is close to both of her adopted parents despite Lionel and Brenda divorcing in 1993.Her biological parents were the ones who put her on stage at a Prince concert when she was a toddler, but they never made it into her family picture.

In her memoir, she wrote about the adoption.Karen was torn as a single working mom.Karen could earn enough for their future without disrupting her child's life if she lived rent-free.

After Nicole was adopted, Karen remained in her daughter's life in some capacity, and they weren't on bad terms.She was with her daughter when she was arrested for heroin possession.

Nicole has struggled with substance abuse and eating disorders in the past, but today she is happy, healthy, and focused on her kids.She might not have had the most stable family situation, but her children and husband keep her grounded and honest.

Nicole has two children, a daughter in 2008 and a son in 2009.Nicole said that her first child helped her bond with her biological mother, Moss, as well as bringing her closer to her adopted father, Lionel.

She realized during this time that she wanted her birth parents in her life, even though she hadn't been close to them.
