Moses Farrow

Moses Amadeus Farrow (born January 27, 1978) is an American family therapist. The adopted son of actress Mia Farrow and director Woody Allen, he has come to the defense of his father against a sexual abuse allegation.

Early life and education Moses Amadeus Farrow was born in South Korea with cerebral palsy. He was adopted by American actress Mia Farrow in 1980 and by film director Woody Allen in December 1991. He had a small role in Allen's 1986 film Hannah and Her Sisters.

Farrow attended the Dalton School in New York City. He received his undergraduate degree from Siena College and his master's degree from the University of Connecticut. In subsequent media interviews, Moses told reporters that he was "sure my younger brother and sister don't want to go with him either". In 2018, Moses called this public denouncement of his father "the biggest regret of my life".

Mia Farrow was ultimately granted custody of Moses and attempted to have Allen's adoption of Moses annulled, but a court denied her request.

As an adult, Moses Farrow reunited with Allen and severed ties with Mia Farrow. Moses has said that he experienced years of physical abuse by Mia Farrow.

In 2018, Farrow published a blog post, "A Son Speaks Out", in which he argued for Allen's innocence, accused Mia Farrow of abuse, and offered a different version of his childhood than that given by some of his siblings.

In a December 2020 interview with The Guardian, Farrow said he would be happy to take Allen's surname.

Footage of Farrow appears in the documentary Allen v. Farrow even though he declined to participate.

Career Farrow has been a licensed marriage and family therapist in Connecticut since 2007. He specializes in adoption trauma therapy, especially for children adopted by parents of a different racial group.

Personal life Farrow lives with his family in Connecticut.
