Just want to point out ... These days, many families are formulated on the bond between people who did not start as blood relatives and who hail from different cultures. I see it all the time in my wedding ministry, when people marry, and blend in their kids, their relatives, and their extended family members.

Overall, its very encouraging to see how they created their unique family. They have broken through many taboos, and have been an example of how love can transcend race, culture and religion.

They are also modeling love and family unity without marriage, and the ability to raise children in a loving environment without having to have a wedding. Even though I am all for marriage, for the right couples, I don't think it is necessary for everyone.

In there case it works and might be even better.

They have money, fame, their own real estate, production companies, access to the world, and legal custody of their adopted kids, so they really do not need to get married.

Their kids are loved, and taken care of financially and they can afford plenty of childcare so that when the babies are screaming and kids are fighting, they have a little space to walk out of the room and let a child care helper step in. We all need time out from caring for kids, especially more than one, so they are covered on that front. Having help with the children, and a chance for some alone time, will help them keep their sanity and their sex life. They are pretty much living like an old married couple with kids, so a ceremony and legal documents is not what will hold them together or make their life better ... unless one of them is a secret commitment phobic and is avoiding marriage (hmmm...). In that case, legal marriage might someday be the next step toward a more powerful commitment.

At the moment, they have the financial security to create the family life they choose and if they inspire a few civilians along the way, that's a good thing!
