I don't care about love child I had with Rod: After rock star is reconciled with daughter, her mother speaks out Rod Stewart’s first love yesterday declared she ‘doesn’t care’ about the daughter she had with the singer in the Sixties. Susannah Hourde, 65, believes it would be ‘impossible’ to be reconciled with Sarah Streeter, who she gave up for adoption after becoming pregnant by the rocker when they were teenagers. She spoke out after the Daily Mail revealed that Stewart had finally welcomed his eldest child into his family after she spent decades battling desperately for her famous father’s recognition.

Support: Rod Stewart with daughter Sarah taken by Penny Lancaster

But Sarah, 46, became embroiled in a bitter public row with her biological mother by saying she would not speak to her again following earlier failed attempts to develop a relationship. Yesterday Miss Hourde said: ‘I don’t care about Sarah any more. I used to but I don’t now. ‘She says these kind of things every now and again. It’s just what she does. I think it’s almost impossible that we will be reconciled now. ‘It’s all been so tough. There were attempted reconciliations and they didn’t go very well. It has all been very hard.’ Miss Hourde also said she was ‘bored’ of continually hearing about Stewart’s life after it was announced that, at the age of 66, he is due to have his eighth child, with third wife Penny Lancaster. She said: ‘I don’t see why his having another baby is news. I find the whole thing rather tedious. ‘I am very bored of hearing about Rod. It’s really something I’d like to put behind me.’ Her comments came as Stewart opened up about being reunited with his daughter. The 65-year-old admitted he was too ‘broke’ to care for a baby when he was a teenager. And even after Sarah learned that Stewart was her father in the 1980s, they had only sporadic contact. But since the death of her adoptive parents, Stewart said the pair had become much closer.

Estranged: Sarah's birth mother Susannah Hourde

‘I never felt like I was her dad, because I didn’t take her to school, change her nappies, there was no paternal thing there, but I’m trying,’ he added.

Sarah is the eldest of Stewart’s seven children.

But while she is building bridges with her high-profile father, her mother’s lifestyle could not be more different. Miss Hourde lives in a remote former farmhouse in Normandy, Northern France, where her main interest is racing whippets. She is known as ‘the dog lady’ in the hamlet of Le Mesnil-Aubert, where she shares her home with her boyfriend. She split from husband Daniel Hourde, an award winning sculptor, several years ago. The couple have one son, 24-year-old Charles, who runs an art dealership in Paris.

Roderick Stewart, as he called himself, was an unknown 17-year-old still living with his parents who made a living playing his harmonica in North London pubs. Sarah was born in 1963 and spent several years moving between a series of children’s homes and foster carers. At the age of five, she was adopted by Gerald and Evelyn Thubron and raised at their idyllic country home in Uckfield, East Sussex.

Is giftedness hereditary?

The development of high ability is influenced both by characteristics of the child (including genetic predispositions and aptitudes) and by environmental factors. Giftedness is therefore always subject to genetic influences, although these influences are not exclusive. This is especially true for specific academic abilities, where high intelligence plays a significant role: Differences in intelligence are largely determined genetically (approx. 40 to 60%), although environmental factors also make an important contribution to explaining them. The long-running controversy about whether genetic or environmental factors are more relevant for intelligence has made it clear that the extent of their respective influence varies over the life course. Typically, the younger children are, the greater the influence of environmental factors on their development. One reason for this is that some genetically predisposed abilities are only activated by environmental factors. This is why high-quality and stimulating educational programs are extremely important, even at an early age and especially for children from disadvantaged backgrounds. In this context, the interaction of genetic and environmental factors is not a passive process. As children grow older, and later also as adults, they actively contribute to shaping their own environments: For example, they choose friends who have similar interests or abilities, or they select recreational activities or school programs that allow them to pursue specific interests. In doing so, they are actively influencing their own (informal) learning opportunities.
