If Mary had wanted to adopt children (as Dolores and Bob Hope did),then those adopted children would have been the heirs,not nieces and nephews and this could have been avoided.Plus,perhaps she shouldn't have remarried.I believe she didn't want to adopt kids.She and Jim were married for almost 17 years and had plenty of time to adopt children if she had really wanted to have some adopted babies or kids.Jim's travel schedule seems a lame excuse.They could have adopted at least one baby or child when he was still only a DJ and radio announcer at KGRI,before his singing career got off the ground,before his hit with "Mexican Joe".By 1952 even.
