Meg adds to the family tree
“Very perfect” – that’s how Meg Ryan describes the adoption of her 1-year-old daughter, Daisy True, from China.
The 44-year-old actress tells Allure in its May issue she tried for 10 years to adopt in the U.S. and India.
“I understand now,” she says. “There’s no mistake at all – ever – in adoption, no mistake. However these babies come, it’s very perfect.”
Ryan says she had named her daughter Charlotte but then decided on Daisy True because “she is such a flower, just blooming and blooming.”
Her 13-year-old son Jack, from her marriage to Dennis Quaid, welcomed his little sister’s arrival, Ryan says.
“First thing Jack did when he saw her was climb a tree,” she tells the magazine. “He was just showing her, ‘Look, you’ll be able to climb a tree. Trees are OK.’ “

Charlie Sheen has been ordered to stay at least 300 feet from his estranged wife, Denise Richards, and their two young daughters except during supervised visits.
The temporary restraining order says Sheen must also avoid Richards’ home and car. The judge granted Sheen once-weekly visits with 2-year-old Sam and 10-month-old Lola.
Richards, who filed for divorce in March after three years of marriage, claims Sheen pushed her, shoved her, and threatened her and her parents. He denies the allegations.
