Angelina Files Vietnam Adoption Papers

Angelina Files Vietnam Adoption Papers

The Associated Press just published that Angelina Jolie will be adopting her next child from Vietnam with her partner Brad Pitt. (It was reported by US Weekly last month.)

According to Vu Duc Long, the director of Vietnam’s International Adoption Agency, Angie has tfiled papers to adopt a Vietnamese child, the country’s top adoption official said Friday.

Said Long, “She just filed the papers this week.”

“We consider her like any other American who wants to adopt children from Vietnam. She is not yet married so the file was from her individually. It will take a few months for us to consider this,” he added.

A source close to Angie said, “The process began shortly after Shiloh was born. It has been a long process and she is now simply waiting for further information.”

Brad and Angie have three children — Maddox, 5, Zahara, 2, and Shiloh, 9 months.

Maddox was adopted from Cambodia, Zahara was born adopted from Ethiopia, and baby Shiloh was born to the couple in Namibia.

Brad and Angie spent Thanksgiving in Vietnam, where they visited the Tam Binh orphanage, on the outskirts of Ho Chi Minh City. Thanks, NM!

Angie’s going a bit wild on the ol’adoption. She needs to chill it a bit, nothing worse than recreating a boarding school at home. Inadequate attention t oeach child is definately going to affect self esteem and personalities. She needs to thin about that before she starts churning out wackos. Brad just follows her wishes, he’s such a puppy, needs to be castrated since she’s obviously the one with the balls…

you get this info how?

You are a idiot.

This adoption is going to take at least 6 months, Shiloh will be about the same age zee was when their new baby makes an appearance. It is amazing , Brad had said before he married, and even during his marriage he wanted 10 kids, and it looks like he will get he wish, my grandma had eight kids, they all had love and attention. When I see those pictures of Brad and Shiloh, it melted my heart, God Bless Them.

Maddox, Zahara and now a new baby because we know that Shiloh doesn’t exist for her. Brad is a moron, I bet he knows that angelina doesn’t give a **** about the bio baby but doesn’t do anything. We have another mommy dearest on the way, poor shiloh.

I am guessing this might be an older child, possibly a boy. We’ll see.

If it is true, then best wishes to them! Like Brad and Angie have both said, they are fortunate to be able to have help around the house with all the mundane stuff that keeps most of us regular folks from spending more time with our kids. In the J-P household, one parent works while the other stays home. They appear to be terrific, devoted parents who probably spend more cumulative time with their kids than the average working parents. I say more power to them. They will know when it is time to stop. Angie wants to do this while she is young, and Brad has agreed with her on that. People who are judging them and saying it is too soon are making that call based on the average household, and the J-P’s are far from average, so don’t even drag out that tired old argument.

no anon,anjie will be pregnant again!

NOT TRUE. When Angie Adopts, she will will let us know first, not the other way around. Got them. People underestimate this woman.

Mr. and Mrs. Smith @ 03/02/2007 at 9:11 am

You go Angie and Brad. Weren’t these the same people who were saying that Zahara wasn’t going to get enough love from Angelina because she was still too young when Angie was pregnant? It’s going to be months before the kid is home with them and by that time Shiloh will be over a year old. They want to take care of the kids when they are still young so they can grow old with them. All I’ll say is kudos to them.

Remember Z & Mad, her adoption were a surprise to us. I bet when she comes back she will squash the rumous.

think positive! @ 03/02/2007 at 9:12 am

If the Associated Press just copied what US weekly said last week then I don’t believe it. And I think that’s the case. I will believe it only when I will here a confirmation from Angie and Brad.

But if it’s true congratulations to them! Both Brad and Angie have said that they want to expand their family while they are still young. And to all this who are so quick to judge if Angie filled the papers this week the process will take three to five months until they can take the child home or even more based on the Vietnamese adoption laws. Shiloh will be more that one year old already by then. You people wouldn’t be happy if they where adopting even after five years.

It takes a very compassionate heart to love a child that has not your genes and thank God Brad and Angie can do it but it seems some of you are missing that compassion.

It’s obvious that the idea of Brad and Angie having more kids together irritates some very much but that the way it is. It’s their life and they will do what they think is best for them. Continue to judge if you want but that won’t change a thing.

der gonna be 7 by then.i mean children.

Angelina To Adopt Again, But Does Brad Know?

Four down, 189 to go. That, at least, is where Angelina Jolie is at when it comes to raising a child from each of the world’s countries. Today, Vietnam’s top adoption official tells the AP that Angelina has filed papers to adopt a kid from his country, via a US adoption agency. Curiously, says Vu Duc Long, Jolie applied to adopt as a single parent. She and Brad Pitt, of course, already have Maddox, Zahara, and Shiloh, representing Cambodia, Ethiopia, and the United States, respectively. No word on whether adoption officials in Luxembourg have been contacted.

tmz pfft, trying to stir siht up.

the source is from TMZ> PLEASE> FAKE > FAKE> FAKE> story

Okay, enough already. Look, I’m not a hater. I actually do like Brad & Angelina together and think that people who believe that she somehow destroyed his marriage are terribly naive about relationships or are just plain idiots. That being said, how can you give a 3 babies under the age of 2 the attention that they need? And I’m not talking about someone changing nappies and preparing bottles, I mean the 1 on 1 that the child needs with its parents.

Hmmm, you make no sense.
If you are going to say something offensive, at least have the courtesy of proving your neurons are working properly.

Re-read what you wrote, see if you can spot the completely flawed logic of your statement.

If you are unable to do so, that means that you… wait! Draw your own conclusions, that is, if you can.

Hollywood star files to adopt in Vietnam: official

American actress Angelina Jolie is seeking to adopt a Vietnamese child.

A US adoption agency representing the Hollywood star filed the papers at Vietnam’s International Adoption Agency, the agency’s director, Vu Duc Long, said.

“She filed the papers this week,” he said.

Jolie and her partner, Brad Pitt, have three children: five-year-old Maddox, adopted from Cambodia; two-year-old Zahara, adopted from Ethiopia; and another daughter, Shiloh, who was born to the couple in May.

Long would not name the US adoption agency working with Jolie, who has applied to adopt as a single parent.

He said it could take up to four months for the files to be processed. “If she could find a child soon, things could progress faster.”

It had taken French singer Johnny Hallyday two-and-a-half months to adopt a Vietnamese child, he said.

Jolie and Pitt made a surprise visit to Vietnam during Thanksgiving last November when they visited the Tam Binh orphanage on the outskirts of Ho Chi Minh City.

Pictures of the couple cruising around HCMC on a motorbike were splashed across the front pages of Vietnamese newspapers.

A source told Thanh Nien Jolie was looking for a four-year-old child from the Tam Binh orphanage.

The orphanage director, Nguyen Van Trung, declined to comment, saying merely he was waiting for the papers from the International Adoption Agency.

Just wondering, not trying to be rude, but why do you think that Angie applies and not Brad. I mean not together as they can’t because they are not married. But why doesn’t Brad apply this time and be the main one to adopt? I realize that the child will live with both of them once it comes home, however I know that Angie has talked about the process and what it is like to go through. Don’t you think that this would be interesting for Brad to do? It would be a great example to other fathers out there showing them that adopting as a man is a good idea.

*****************************************************
ZAHARA IS ALREADY TWO. SHILOH WILL BE ONE BEFORE THE NEW CHILD JOINS THE FAMILY. ADOPTION PROCESS IN VIETNAM WILL TAKE 4-6 MONTHS BEFORE CHILD JOINS FAMILY.
SO CHILDREN =
5 YEAR OLDER
2 YEAR OLDER
1 YEAR OLDER
NEW CHILD WHO MAY BE NEWBORN OR OLDER CHILD 3-4

MANY FAMILIES HAVE A CHILD A YEAR IN LARGE FAMILES AND ALL CHILDREN DO QUITE WELL. THEY WANT A LARGE FAMILY AND THEY WANT ONE SOONER THAN LATER. THEY WILL DO FINE!!!!!

people they have the resources,why not!if its true!they been blessed for so many times.GOD BLESS THEM BOTH!

I guess you’re saying that parents of twins or triples or more are doomed? or their kids are? do you have kids? cause if you did, you’d know that what you wrote is idiotic

To all those who keep complaining that it is too soon, Shiloh is too young, each child will not receive proper attention blah blah blah … hope to meet you in Heidi Klum’s thread (she has had three pregnancies in three years) or Britney’s (we know how her first son celebrated his birthday a few days after she gave birth to the second one) …. and I hope to see YOU BASHING THEM TOO. If not, then STFU.

interesting point indeed, but maybe its just all logisitcs…filming schedules, process that needs to be done after the child comes to the US (is it easier for Brad to adopt as second parent?) etc. etc. who knows. I do think that AJ and BP have thought of all the angles and are doing what is best for their family

A four year old boy? that’s interesting. It would be very good for Maddox.

Of course Brad knows. How idiotic. Why does everyone want to create a rift between these two loving parents. It boggles my mind. Hang in there Brad and Angie.

A coworker of my brother had 5 babies in a year. Twins in February and triplets in December. That was 15 years ago, all five kids are doing fine.

But, in order to be fair, the poor parents went through hell during the first two years, 5 bottles, 5 diapers, 5 baths, tons of clothes to wash, etc.

I was so curious I went with my brother to see the 5 babies, the triplets were so tiny. But they managed, even in such an extreme situation - and they did not have the resources Brad and Angie have.

Mr. and Mrs. Smith @ 03/02/2007 at 9:58 am

I googled Vietnam adoption law requirements and here is what they said.

ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS FOR ADOPTIVE PARENTS:

According to the Vietnamese “Law on Marriage and the Family,” adoptive parents must be at least 20 years older than the children they wish to adopt. Only one single person or one married couple may adopt. S/he or they must meet all of the following requirements: have not had their parental rights restricted by authorities, have good ethical qualities, and have the capacity to care for, support, and educate the adoptive child. If married, both persons must meet all requirements. Children up to and including the age of 15 can be adopted. Under Vietnamese law, a child over age nine must consent in writing to his/her adoption.

Civil Status of Prospective Adoptive Parents:

Vietnam law permits adoption by married couples (one man, one woman) and single heterosexual persons. Vietnam law prohibits homosexual individuals or couples from adopting Vietnamese children.

Inadequate attention t oeach child is definately going to affect self esteem and personalities. She needs to thin about that before she starts churning out wackos. Brad just follows her wishes, he’s such a puppy, needs to be castrated since she’s obviously the one with the balls…

Well, in that case Steven Speilburg and his wife Kate a bit wild also as they have a large family. At the time they adopted there last child Kate was pregnant, the two are months apart, she actually had all the other children and two babies at the same time. But all the children or loved and the older ones are teenagers by now and we never hear of them partying or getting pulled over for DUI’s. They appear a healthy and happy family. Denzel and his wife Paula have 5 children and they seem to be a really happy family. Brad wants a big family Angie doesn’t mind giving that to him. She doesn’t mind working less to build there family. Her only requirement is that if they are going to have a big family they are not still having kids ten years from now. Which is responible, have the children, and get on with the business of being a family.

To the People who have a problem with this….

What about parents with TWINS, TRIPLETS and QUADRUPLETS? How do they manage? How have they managed? Where do you GET OFF judging other people’s parenting plans? Who died and made you the parenting police. Honestly do you people even think at all?

You have a different rules for everyone else and one for BP & AJ? I didn’t see this much hoopla over Julia Roberts having twins under 3 and being pregnant again or Heidi Klum having babies under 3 years old. I guess it’s okay….since they birthed their own children but this is adoption….adoption that’s probably gonna take another 6-9months you dolts, then it’s a big issue. I wish for your sakes, you’d stop typing because you only expose how very ignorant you are.

I am sure they have considered all the angles but I’m thinking in foreign countries it maybe a lot more red tape for a man to adopt as a single parent than a women as a lot of countries have very primitive ideas about the roles of women and men.

That’s right !!! specially in a more conservative Asian country.

I think AJ and BP should get married if they are going to have this wonderful family. It seems odd to me that she would adopt alone after they have had their own biological child……I look at my husband and I and our kids and I could not imagine being not married and having more kids after the birth of our others. Something is not right between these two if the adoption is true.

from Lainey @ 03/02/2007 at 10:45 am

Vietnam’s International Adoption Agency confirmed today that Angelina Jolie has filed papers to adopt from the country. But you knew that already, didn’t you? (A little gloat ahead, consider yourself warned). Because despite denials issued earlier this year, I was the first to report way back on January 25th that documents were submitted to the US Consulate several weeks ago, and although the “official” word indicates that the filing only occurred this week, my sources insist the adoption has been in the works for months, that all parties involved knew further denials would be futile and chose instead to make the announcement now to avoid any embarrassment down the road.

As for why the child is to be adopted under her name only, reports indicate that Vietnamese adoption regulations specify that adoption can only be granted to single parents or married couples. Since Brad and Angelina have yet to marry and since she has already been through the process with Maddox and Zahara respectively, it was a no brainer to do the same this time. Still trying to confirm when the child will official join his/her new family (most believe it’s a boy by choice to relate to Maddox but if proper Vietnamese adoption procedures were followed, the choice of sex would not have been up to them – a procedure put in place to prevent baby “shopping” with all children matched at the federal agency in Vietnam which is actually linked to the country’s department of justice, thank you GC!) but I’m hearing still a while yet, earliest April…IF proper protocol is observed. Will keep you posted.

As for rumours that Angelina moved on this without Brad’s blessing – total rubbish. She hasn’t had an agent for an eternity, she’s been keeping work super super light committing to the bare minimum, if anything, and settling in NOLA has provided the stability they need for at least a year.

TMZ Reports @ 03/02/2007 at 10:48 am

Although I’m a big fan of Pitt/Jolie, I have to disagree with one of the comments made about TMZ having a reputation for concocting stories. It is quite the opposite in fact, they’re one of the respected tabloids and known for unearthing the true version.
As for the fact that she filed as a “single mother”, it’s not trying to stir things up, it’s a fact. I’m unsure as to the questions one receives during the adoption process but nevertheless, the things that TMZ reported are the truth.

I adopted from Vietnam as a single mom and I lived with my male partner then and I still do. We are together ten years now and have three kids, all of which I adopted as a single mom while living with my guy.

Brad will just likely adopt the child when he is back in the states. If they got married they’d have to wait more than a year to even file, as countries want you to have been married for some time.

Can I just say I told you all that this was happening weeks ago?

I am so happy for Mad; he will have a brother close to him in age.

#62, actually, you're wrong @ 03/02/2007 at 10:53 am

The owner of the blog doesn’t usually delete comments that don’t agree with him, such as if someone doesn’t like Pitt’s movies. Actually, the majority of posts that are deleted are ones that contain obscene remarks or vulgarity. I sincerely cannot recall someones comments being deleted because they were on a BP/AJ post and someone said they didn’t like his movie, or didn’t like her for whatever reason. So no, I’m sorry, but I’m another that doesn’t agree with you. If someone is expressing their opinion in an honest, intelligent, respectful way, more power to them, whether they agree with me or not but I’m not going to watch them get “chewed up and spit out” because of it. Now, if someone is being awful and ugly, yeah, report it to Jared and have their comments tossed or simply ignore them. Jared also makes money off of the advertisers and can’t get everyone upset by deleting their opinions simply because he doesn’t agree with them. That would e bad for business.

Do you know that they adopted Zahara together but only Angelina’s name was on the adoption papers? They cannot file adoption papers together because THEY ARE NOT MARRIED. Angie is filing using her name only then Brad will adopt the kid just the same way Zahara and Maddox were adopted by Brad. This will probably happen for ALL their future adoptions if they never get married.

Did she do this @ 03/02/2007 at 10:57 am

because her mother recently passed? wow 4 kids in just about 2 years of being together. has to be some what difficult.

GOD BLESS BRANGELINA AND THEIR 4 BEAUTIFUL CHILDREN

P.S. I bet they’ll have their boy home before summer, since Vietnam is moving really fast these days. I wonder if they will keep his Vietnamese name, which he will be used to if he is indeed 3 or 4.

Settle Down Already @ 03/02/2007 at 11:03 am

To grow up as good, confident individuals with a good amount of self esteem, kids need stability. They need to have a SOMEWHAT stable schedule, place to call home, etc. So I’m so glad to see they’ve settled in NOLA, please BAMZS, stay their for a while and let your children thrive. Congrats to them on the adoption, just hope they continue to be settled. Good luck.

The most beautiful woman in the world has filed for adoption papers in Vietnam . As a single parent. Brad Pitt’s wondering if he’s just the nanny. Or a handsome block of wood.

Angelina Jolie has filed papers to adopt a Vietnamese child, the country’s top adoption official said Friday. A U.S. adoption agency representing the 31-year-old actress filed the papers at Vietnam’s International Adoption Agency, said Vu Duc Long, the agency’s director.
“She just filed the papers this week,” Long said.

Long would not name the U.S. adoption agency working with Jolie, who applied to adopt as a single parent.

So Brad’s just a celebrity sperm donor/caregiver? Wet nurse? Does he do windows? He’d better, he was pretty good in Babel but that’s not gonna make up for Mr. and Mrs. Smith.

please…

Not only that but being “a respected tabloid and known for unearthing the true version.” after their comment they displayed their pure ignorance about international adoption and adoption in general to even assume that Brad doesn’t know about the adoption just because Angie filled the papers as single. In any kind of papers work you are considered to be “single” if you are not married even if you have a stable relationship with your partner for 10 years. That how the legalities are working.

Someone asked whether you can choose the gender of your Vietnamese child. In 1999 I was able to do this (I chose to adopt one baby boy and one baby girl at the same time); I don’t know if rules have changed since then. You have to specificy all kinds of things when you adopt–whether you’ll take a special needs child, how old you would like the child to be. I can’t see why Angie wouldn’t be able to specify that she preferred a boy and what age she wanted him to be. Months after filing you get a child “referred” to you, and you can either accept that one or wait for another referral, so it’s in everybody’s interests to try and match you with the age, gender, etc. that you want.

Here’s the formal procedure from the State Dept. Web site:

ADOPTION PROCEDURE: When a Vietnamese government-licensed adoption agency receives a request from a client to identify a child available for adoption, the agency contacts an orphanage (generally an orphanage it supports financially). Prospective adoptive parents should verify with their adoption agency whether they may reject the match made by the agency and whether they will have an opportunity to review any medical documentation for the child prior to accepting the match. When an agency has identified a child acceptable to the adopting parent(s), the agency asks the orphanage to release the child for foreign adoption.

Not surprised. Socilalitelife.com always snarks about Brad and Angie. Some people are just thinking they are smart without even knowing how dump they look with their lack of knowledge of how this thing works. The word “adoption” is Chinese to them. Angie adopted Zahara as a “single” parent but she went with Brad to take her home and Brad adopted her right after. It’s not the first time they will do that.

Don’t get upset. It’s not worth it. Anyone with tow braisells can see how stupid they are.

Sophie if you’re trying to find someone to ***** slap, try somebody else. like i said, im not a hater but I sure ain’t a foamin at the mouth fan-atic. People who have twins and triplets usually don’t CHOOSE that option honey. It just happens and they adjust, painfully, stressfully, sometimes but they adjust. These two have options. Bringing a new child into a family unit is a major adjustment for all parties, especially young children. if you can avoid the stress that that’s going to inflict on kids, why wouldn’t you. Why not wait til the babies are a little older before introducting another?

And to African Girl, this is a message board, a forum for opinions and just because someone expresses an OPINION that’s different than yours doesn’t mean they’re JUDGING, HATING or wrong. Maybe you should stop typing until you mature past the mentality of a 13 year old.

If this story is true and I am more inclined to believe it since AP is reporting it, I am happy for them. I wonder if they will file in Ca or LA for Brad to adopt the baby .

Below are the rules, from our U.S. Dept of State website. What’s not stated here is how long you need to be a married couple before Vietnam will consider you. I don’t know this, but it could be years. Someone would have to do some more digging on websites of agencies that work with Vietnam. All of my adoptions were much faster and I believe simpler because I was single (i.e. it would have taken me much longer if I had married my partner):

ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS FOR ADOPTIVE PARENTS: According to the Vietnamese “Law on Marriage and the Family,” adoptive parents must be at least 20 years older than the children they wish to adopt. Only one single person or one married couple may adopt. S/he or they must meet all of the following requirements: have not had their parental rights restricted by authorities, have good ethical qualities, and have the capacity to care for, support, and educate the adoptive child. If married, both persons must meet all requirements. Children up to and including the age of 15 can be adopted. Under Vietnamese law, a child over age nine must consent in writing to his/her adoption.

Civil Status of Prospective Adoptive Parents: Vietnam law permits adoption by married couples (one man, one woman) and single heterosexual persons. Vietnam law prohibits homosexual individuals or couples from adopting Vietnamese children.

I’m thinkig L.A Tabitha.

Don’t start yelling people please. This is nobody’s territory. This is a free and democratic territory. Those who have a problem trying to understand the concept should do some research on the subject. Everyone can say what they like as long as they don’t attack and verbally abuse other users. If you do people will report you anyway. Justjared will eventually remove your posts and block you from posting. It is that simple. It has happened here before and no doubt they will do it again. Here is what i have to say on this adoption deal. I think miss Angelina Jolie should see a therapist. She has just had a baby and lost her mum. Now she wants another benetton orphan? Please something isn’t quite right here (you don’t need to be smart to see it) She is a busy woman and so as her lover. I hope people in vietnam can see through her celebrity status and her wealth. They should give her a long interview before making a decision. Chidlren need parenting and love not nannies, cleaners, bodyguards, and private planes. I think Jolie is having a hard time understand this concept. As for her refugees work, I think she’s doing good for them. I like her article in the newspaper. But that doesn’t mean she is an excellent mother. I think she loves her kids but she clearly doesn’t have enough time to mother them. Brad is also a busy man. They both need to see a therapist.

P.S. The fact that Vietnam doesn’t allow homosexual couples to adopt (and most developing countries are the same way, so I don’t mean to single out Vietnam. It’s a completely different culture with different accepted norms, at least what can be stated officially) might be a bit uncomfortable to Brad after he said he and Angie wouldn’t marry until all gay couples in the U.S. could marry.

Maniston want to adopt was probably another lied spread by Huvaniston. she was a serial liar, pretending she want kid since the first day she hook up with Brad , well, after 2 years of divorce from Brad, Brad got 3 with another on the way, Maniston got 2 dogs but Zero kid.

Shiloh doesn’t count at all for Angelina. That was quite evident from the very first picture of Shiloh when she was a week old. Angelina looked so cold and not at all maternal. She was giving Brad a look like… you wanted a biological baby, there you go and now shut up! From the moment I saw that picture, I was taken aback by her coldness; not at all expected of a mother who has just given birth to her first child . She will never have another biological child again. I used to like Angelina, but now I am just so put off by her. Specially since she referred to Shiloh as a ‘blob’ (and I don’t care to what she meant by that, if it was taken out of context or not) you just don’t say that. She did textually say that she felt so much more for Maddox and Zahara (those were her exact worlds). Angelina is very, very weired and I feel sorry for Brad. He has gotten himself in an incredible mess. Angelina will throw one day Brad out of the house for another man by the name of “MADDOX” (like the Woody Allen saga)
_____________
Only a pervert thinks like a pervert

well, this whole process can take several months if not more, Shiloh will be older by then.. I just wish that they just get married, so it is easier for them and the kids. just saying

Still trying to confirm when the child will official join his/her new family (most believe it’s a boy by choice to relate to Maddox but if proper Vietnamese adoption procedures were followed, the choice of sex would not have been up to them – a procedure put in place to prevent baby “shopping” with all children matched at the federal agency in Vietnam which is actually linked to the country’s department of justice, thank you GC!) but I’m hearing still a while yet, earliest April…IF proper protocol is observed. Will keep you posted.

********************************

If Lainey is right and you aren’t allowed to state a gender preference anymore then it is still highly highly likely that Angie would be able to get a boy, since so many more people want girls from Asia than boys. It’s sad but true.

It seems to me that Brad/Angelina are doing it right by having only one of them work at a time . I also think they also chedule plenty of time where neither is working. I am happy for them if this is true I wonder what the laws are in LA( Lousiana versus CA in terms of Brad then adopting the bad. It seemed to go fairly moothly in CA.

Thank you Oh La La. Great points, but unfortunately, those points will be disregarded by many of the posters here and they’ll start hurling personal insults.

Leave this couple alone, they know what is best for them for their family especially for Mad and Z, they want balance in their family so I guess, they will adopt another black child for Z and have another bio child for Shiloh. God bless BA family, and forgive those haters who have only ill wishes to this family. I pity those haters reallyyyyyyyyyyyyy.

As a mother of 4 boys I have to wonder..do B&A ever stop and think that these kids are not going to remain young and small? I mean my oldest is turning 16 this month and with the new challenges that arrive with him alone, can you imagine the troubles that they will have just by being their children with these two famous parents?

Brad and Angie are not going to get married or stop adopting to please you or your parents. Sorry.

Exactly AG, that is what I’m also seeing. We have ALL these people projecting their wants, wishes, and needs onto Brad and Angie. Were they really listening when Brad said last year he wanted a soccer team, and at the GG where he said they wated 10 kids, and when Angie said they wanted more kids? What did they think, that Brad and Angie weren’t going to adopt for another 5, 10 years? It’s like they were not confronted with the reality then, but now that it’s a reality, they are foaming at the mouth.

I think actions speak louder than words. Not only do Their words say they are committed to each other, but their actions do even more so. I think they are very committed. Who knows whether they will get married or not in the future. It will be up to them if and when they decide to do that .

What’s weird about their situation and why should they get married before adopting another child?
Are they breaking some kind of relationship rule.. I personally don’t see how a piece of paper would make a difference.

The same goes for his teenage friends. In some ways, children and teenagers are faster and more observant because they are not filled with all the garbage the media feeds into their brain as us adults have been for much longer.

These Adults in Denial are so afraid of Pitt’s ‘very own admission’ to GROW their family. Now, why is that!

If they are truly Pitt fans, they would want him to fulfill his happiness and grow his family. However, they are not truly Pitt fans.
If they really cared about the children, then having more children for the kids to bond with would make them excited that the kids are growing in a loving, big household. Therefore, they do not care for the JoliePitt children.
And, Jolie. Well, the obvious undercutting statements against Jolie says it all - ‘PURE and UTTER JEALOUSY’ for a woman they just saw as ending in a gutter somewhere and could care less if she did.

So - Conclusion: Who would think they are a Pitt fan and know about his life, not care about the love of his life and the growing, healthy family he is creating….Hmmm, 1 guess. Ohh, I didn’t say IT. If you came to that conclusion on your own, then you’re smarter than you think and guess what, YOU have learned an important lesson. Now, you decide - the Pitt family or His Past.

These Adults in Denial are so afraid of the adoptions and the babymaking because the Red Sea wall is ever-growing wider and the bridge to connect the Past to his Present is forever fading into oblivion. The more children, the more Pitt is cemented into his new life.

Guys - you really need a funeral. WAKE UP!!!!

Pitt is never going there, again. He WOKE UP!

As a mother of 4 boys I have to wonder..do B&A ever stop and think that these kids are not going to remain young and small? I mean my oldest is turning 16 this month and with the new challenges that arrive with him alone, can you imagine the troubles that they will have just by being their children with these two famous parents? I truly wonder if they stop and think about the future.

They did .. and they want a soccer team… and it’s none of YOUR (haters) business whether they like to adopt 10 or 12 babies… It’s their life and not yours so STFU!!

Well, in that case Steven Speilburg and his wife Kate a bit wild also as they have a large family. At the time they adopted there last child Kate was pregnant, the two are months apart, she actually had all the other children and two babies at the same time. But all the children or loved and the older ones are teenagers by now and we never hear of them partying or getting pulled over for DUI’s. They appear a healthy and happy family.

Denzel and his wife Paula have 5 children and they seem to be a really happy family.

Brad wants a big family Angie doesn’t mind giving that to him. She doesn’t mind working less to build there family. Her only requirement is that if they are going to have a big family they are not still having kids ten years from now. Which is responible, have the children, and get on with the business of being a family.

BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!! I love reading what the haters and so called fake fans who act all concerned have to say. It’s HI-LAR-IOUS. :lol: :lol: :lol:

You concerned trolls and haters froth at the mouth and spout fake concern for poor little Shiloh and poor Brad because that evil Angelina is still with Brad and they are raising their kids together. LMAO!!!

My favorite thing is how you all start predicting what’s going to happen next. You must get your panties in a twist because every time you start dreaming Brad and Angelina are going to break up, they do something that proves that the bond between them is even stronger than before.

The only reason why this adoption news bothers you is because now instead of having three kids that will tie Brad and Angelina together for life, they will have four kids to make that bond even stronger. And that eats you up inside.

You just want Brad to leave Angelina and the adopted kids behind, take Shiloh and run back to JA. Keep living in your deluded fantasies, haters.

Because the truth is, it takes a lot to hate to someone. The people who come here to comment obviously care what Brad and Angelina do or else you wouldn’t be here. If you don’t like them, you should be indifferent to them, but NO, you can’t do that because you care. haha.

Every single prediction you haters have made has NOT come true yet you still talk like you are the authority on everything that is Brangelina.

Please, don’t stop. This is so fcuking entertaining watching you all fume with envy and rage. God, it must take a lot of energy to muster up this much hate for a two celebrity parents who refuse to let public opinion mold what their life should be like.

You would think after two years, you idiots would finally open your eyes and see that you have been wrong every single time you predicted these two would break up. But, the stubborness and arrogance with which you so makes claims about this couple and their kids is fricking mind boggling and yet, so DAMN FUNNY!!!!

Don’t stop now. I just popped the popcorn, and I need a good laugh, especially at your expense. :D :D :D :lol: :lol: :lol:

I am guessing this might be an older child, possibly a boy. We’ll see.
If it is true, then best wishes to them!

Like Brad and Angie have both said, they are fortunate to be able to have help around the house with all the mundane stuff that keeps most of us regular folks from spending more time with our kids.

In the J-P household, one parent works while the other stays home. They appear to be terrific, devoted parents who probably spend more cumulative time with their kids than the average working parents.

I say more power to them. They will know when it is time to stop. Angie wants to do this while she is young, and Brad has agreed with her on that.

People who are judging them and saying it is too soon are making that call BASED ON AVERAGE HOUSEHOLD , and the J-P’s are far from average, so don’t even drag out that tired old argument.

aint they funny? roflol(atdp)

Angie doesn’t need a therapist. Why? Because her mom died, she has little ones to take care of, she’s working a lot on movies or she’s trying to bring light to a tragic situation.

Yes, she has a lot on her plate, but you know she also has the help and support of her partner, family, friends, and other hire help. It’s not like she’s working fulltime on the movie set, her foundation work, or UNHCR.She was away from her family 4 days recently for UNHCR and another day or so for her foundation work. She worked less than 2 months fulltime on the set of A mighty Heart and her family was with her when she wasn’t working. Unlike the rest of us, she probably do not need to do laundry, vacuum, cooking, dishes, clean the toilets, etc, which takes up a nice chunk of my day. She has time to spend with all her kids because she doesn’t have to do the hundred of things that take up time in our lives.

As the kids grow older, they will be able to entertain themself more and actually becomes easier for the parents when the kids are closer in age. The kids will actually be interested in similar games and pretend play, and be able to play together. And yes they will get into arguments, but you know that will be fine too because that’s how they learn to get along. It’s part of the fun of being in a large family.

Her and Brad already made the decision to expand their family before the death of Angie’s mom. Both have said they wanted a big family. Depending on the interview, it ranges from a low of 7 to a high of 11. Angie has said that she would rather have them closer together and Brad is 43…do you think it gets easier running around after a toddler when you’re 50? This is a mutual decision by both Brad and Angie.

Opinion noted, but it’s just that…YOUR opinion. For you, that will be fine. But it’s not your life. Angie and Brad have both said they want to adopt. They have the means to love and care for their kids. The only opinion that matters is Brad, Angie, and the adoption agency.

That is so wonderful of you to be so opened minded, atlhough I doubt for one second if your kid came home and said they were going to have all kinds of kids and not get married you would be on board. I can see it now, how are you going to explain this to all your friends and family. Brad couldnt do for better or worse and Angie tried it too and failed twice … so you are correct they should probably not get married, once less divorce.

African Girl, so sweetheart, you’re Laughing your ass off and yet you’re so combative that you’re insulting anyone who doesn’t agree with you. You see, that makes you childish. The inability to let others have a view different than yours without resorting to personal attacks. No one stated that two grown ups couldn’t love 4 children. The crux of my arguement is that they they should practice PLANNED Parenthoold. Again. MY opinion. And no, im pretty sure Brad and Angie could really give a rat’s ass what I think or what YOU think.

Didn’t she get mad at her dad for telling everyone else before she had a chance to? Now these people are making the statement before she gets to? Um OK.

I’m quite certain that Brad and Angelina do plan things out. A plan which works best for them and their children. They seem to be a very committed and happy family. I think they would be that way whether they get married or not. Maybe some day they will. I certainly thinks it makes more sense to have all your children a year or so apart if you plan a large family than wait 3-5 between each kid. FRom the glimpses at their lives that we have seen , it seems like they do go out without the kids.

How would all of you married folks out there have felt, if your parents, other family, and friends told you how many kids and how many years apart you should be having them? You probably would have said,” You go mind your own business”! This is such a personal matter - to be decided only between the couple, not anybody else. Just think about it!

Another thing, I am not presumptious enough (unlike you) to think I know what is best for others….dollface.

She is insane, she hid it for a while, but it is coming out again. She is not even with her own children right now. She cannot save the world. She was running all around last year while her poor mother was dying. I didn’t even believe the reports about her mother dying, because I could not fathom how somebody who loves their mother would not want to be with her as much as they could. She was too busy running around getting her picture taken. It really is sad. My boss at work took a leave of absence that shw could not afford to spend the last 3 months of her father’s life with him. She stayed by his side almost the whole time. Yest this woman, who does not need to work left her mother like a dog. She needs to learn to love the children she has before she goes collecting some more. And as for Brad, he is the Hugest P*ssy on this planet.

ROTFLMAO!! That is the best post ever!! And so freaking true…

When tow adults who they already have established to have three children together and being successful in raising them and have all the experience of how it is to raise a child decide to add more members in their family means that they are very sure of each other and very aware of their choices and they plan to be together for the long run.

So please people don’t respond to the “fans”. (They just can’t resist searching the news about the Jolie-Pitts and giving them hits so yes they are great “fans”) LOL

These people couldn’t care less about the children. They are just foaming at the mouth because Brad and Angie are going to raise another kid TOGETHER and that is a pain in their a s s. These people are most likely the same ones who post racial slurs about Mad and Z and wished Shiloh to be born handicapped on other sites and then they are coming here to express their “concern”. They just can’t take it.

And once again Brad and Angie are MILLIONAIRES and their carrier is still very successful. They can afford to have as many kids as they wish and they can manage to spend a lot of time with them. Their not like any average family with a monthly salary. Get real.

Angie and Brad have always said that they want a large family and their kids are their first priority. We are talking about tow adults here. So if they think they can handle it who am I or you to say otherwise? I’m not like them, I’m not living like them so it’s impossible to make any conclusions. Just accept that fact and move on.

Asian prefer boy over girl. I knew in some country adopting a boy are much expensive than a girl, and it take longer time to wait for a boy. If Angie and Brad insist to have a boy, they have to wait.

***************************

Let me clarify:

The folks lining up to adopt kids from Vietnam are for the most part middle class (and upward) Americans and Europeans. Mostly white folks, too, in case that’s of interest to anyone.

And experience has shown that at least in the 1990s. early 2000’s, when I adopted my two, the demand from that crowd was overwhelmingly for girls. I can’t imagine that has changed in just the past few years when the U.S. has not allowed adoptions from Vietnam. That’s partly why the U.S. closed the operations down (or I should say stopped issuing visas to Vietnamese orphans being adopted by Americas), because all of this rich white money was chasing orphan Asian girls, and suddenly the orphanages were full of baby girls, when it couldn’t have been possible that girls were being abandoned all of a sudden in such larger numbers than boys. The U.S. goervnment suspected baby trafficking (people paying moms to give them their girls, or even have girls), and so they shut the process down and told Vietnam it had to get its act together before they would issue visas to the U.S. for Vietnamese orphans.

Maybe because of that Vietnam may not be allowing folks to choose anymore.

…For those people that keep criticizing Brad and Angie (or Angie in particular) about adding new members to their family, quit hating and most of all, quit projecting. Your criticisms are all very similar: too soon, the kids won’t get enough individual attention/care, it will be too crazy in that household etc.

For the “too soon” camp, people above have already pointed out that B&A want to raise their family all at once while they (B&A) are young enough to have the energy to run around and play with the kids. It’s a rational way of wanting to raise kids since you get the raising part done all at once instead of having to drag it out over decades (someone pointed out that caring for an infant all over again after you’ve raised your kids to be teens or adults will be a difficult adjustment). Additionally, it’s good to have/adopt kids like B&A have done since the kids will be close in age and can more effectively bond with and relate to each other. I have siblings that are 10 years older than I am and because of this age gap, I only got truly close to my sister who was closest to my age (5 years older) because my other siblings have always seemed too much of an adult for me to relate to them while I was growing up. I think the age gaps between MZS so far are pretty good since they won’t ever be so far apart in age that they can’t relate to each other. Any additions to the brood in the near future will reap the same benefit.

For the “kids won’t get enough individual attention/care” camp, you seem to be missing the point that B&A are not “ordinary parents” in terms of the help and resources at their disposal. The 2.5 kids per family norm these days is a relatively modern development and at least in America (and perhaps other western countries), it’s a result of the 2 income household reality for most families since more kids amount to more expenses and more demands on your time. A lot of couples feel that 2-3 kids is what is manageable because most couples nowadays both work so they have to juggle getting kids dressed and ready to go to school/daycare/nanny, going to work, picking up the kids afterwards, cooking dinner, helping kids with homework/spending time with them and then getting them ready for bed, cleaning up the house everyday. This doesn’t apply to B&A because even when they work, they make sure one of them stays with the kids. It’s also fairly common knowledge that the net worth of these two individuals alone can support 2 dozen kids and combined, they can probably adopt a small village. Additionally, these two don’t need to juggle child care with cleaning the house, yard work, cooking meals, etc. and to top it off, they can have live-in nannies to help usher kids to the bath, get them ready for trips, etc. Suffice it say that the number of children that B&A can handle is greater than that of an “ordinary” family. So for the critics, just because the number of kids you can handle is less than what B&A can handle doesn’t mean they will be less capable parents than you if they have more kids. My mother and both my grandparents came from families with 9-12 kids and they all turned out fine since they were raised during simpler times and had the luxury of having one parent at home at all times (and they didn’t even have maids/cooks/nannies). So stop harping on the number of kids B&A have and want to have—they can easily raise the soccer team they want with the resources they have.

For the “crazy household” camp, sure there will be commotion at a household with a lot of kids but a parents with maids and helpers can easily handle that. Lots of kids in a household means more friends and playmates for the kids. Having a huge family makes for great childhood memories. Some people seems to think family is all about parents and child only but the truth is, family is just as much about the relationships children develop with their siblings—to one child one sibling may be the pest, one sibling may be the protector, one sibling the confidant, etc. A big family doesn’t just mean a crazy household—often times, it also means a stronger support system and stronger sense of belonging.

So please, enough of the criticisms of B&A expanding their family!

WOW! This thread has turned into a complete mess and all b/c of the fake concern of the haters. BP and AJ are not in a normal everyday 9 to 5 living like most. They have the money, time and love to have twenty kids and raise them to be happy and health but that’s not the issue here. The issue here is the haters dislike of Angelina Jolie…period and honestly that’s a personal problem. BP and AJ have done a great job so far with three kids …why not spread the love.

And to those haters who say they won’t have enough time for each other due to all the kids…..I’m sure at one point those kids do go to bed and I’m positive that AJ and BP can be very adult with each other.

Ekk a year a half of your life .. ekk! WOW, not sure that is something to be proud of. Ok lets do the math for a second, lets say you do about 4hrs a day, seven days a week at 78 weeks (yr & half) that is a total of 2186 hours that is a total of 119 days that is almost 4 months of talking about ppl you have never met and for the record never will.

Just came from Starbucks, single grande,soy, extra foamy,latte where the topic of conversation was Brad & Angelina adopting another child. This is a neighborhood, extremely close, everybody knows your name Starbucks. Everyone seemed very happy that they were. The barristers were really happy about it. Also this is a very diverse neighborhood and Starbucks. Loved the vibe. Peace.

Only a person that is incapable of truly loving a child as their own even if they’re not their biological offspring can be dumb enough to believe that.

I think we all saw this adoption coming, so it’s not a surprise. Congratulations to them. It’s a very fortunate child that ends up in their home.

#197 Brad wanted seven kids, even before he got together with Angie. Angie wanted several kids too, both adopted and natural. They have both made their plans clear. Also every week in the tabloids, there are always rumors of them adopting. What really baffles me is that you are acting as if this is news. Have you been living under the rock? Also we get a person like you everyday under different names that refuses to leave, they hang around for hours, acting like pests. What’s the deal? What do you want?

BREAKING NEWS

Jolie joins top political and foreign policy think tank

Hollywood megastar Angelina Jolie has reportedly been elected a member of an exclusive American foreign policy think tank.

The UN goodwill ambassador will join US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, former secretary Henry Kissinger, and top economist Alan Greenspan in the ranks of the influential Council of Foreign Relations, according to the New York Post.

The Manhattan-based group’s membership accepted Jolie’s nomination on Friday night, the newspaper said.

The CFR demands no academic credentials from the select few it lets in but does look for people who take part in world affairs.

Jolie, 31, has made dozens of trips around the world to campaign for refugees, Aids orphans and disaster victims.

Current member Dr Gordon Adams, an international affairs professor, was all in favour of the unusually glamorous new member.

“Bring her on,” he told the Post. “The idea of having Henry Kissinger and Angelina Jolie in the same organisation is dazzling.”

Carol Adelman, a former head of US foreign aid programmes, added: “It’s not like Paris Hilton is being nominated.”

Re: #128 chris Says: March 2nd, 2007 at 12:31 pm “…I mean my oldest is turning 16 this month and with the new challenges that arrive with him…I truly wonder if they stop and think about the future.”
You have missed the whole point of AJ adopting…Maddox, Zahara and the child they plan on introducing into their family now have a much greater future than they would have if left without parents in an orphanage in a third world country, without the ability to have opportunities this couple can afford to provide these children eg an education, guaranteed food and shoes. These are major concerns for people in these countries. Why are you people being so short-sighted…is it because you have never had to do without shoes, never forced to walk everyday in dirt with the possibility of incurring an infectious disease from burrowing worms, take going to elementary school for granted because you don’t have to pay for it. For this family it has never been about “me, me, me”. Your linear thinking is selfish, narrow minded and your critical, judgmental attitudes are self serving only you…do not transpose your self righteousness into thinking that children from a large family, especially this family, are not loved or do not have equal opportunities within their family. Just because you may be leary of raising your children in a probable middle class environment does not mean the Jolie-Pitt family has the same concerns. This family is definitely not middle-class mentality nor financially and they most likely have better skills or access to professional guidance than you or the average parent has in coping with children from birth through difficult teen/adult years. If you have problems or concerns with your children, that is your problem but it doesn’t mean others, famous or not, will make the same mistake or encounter the same concerns. All of you who have concerns about this adoption, why??? It is not appropriate for you to judge or criticize without basis especially about something in the future that may or may not happen to a family you know little about, worry about and pay more quality attention to your own families and lives before you make comments about someone elses.

jen mis-used taxpayer's money @ 03/02/2007 at 3:34 pm

Let’s not forget 11/2/06 how Jennifer Aniston mis-used taxpayers’ money

TMZ staffer spotted America’s sweetheart, making her one of America’s most guarded celebrities.

The star of “The Break-up” flew in from a London visit with Vince Vaughn, and was whisked through the terminal by a phalanx of at least ten officers on bikes and foot–a bit excessive? Our guy reports that the scene looked like an in-progress bomb threat with all the cops and police cars surrounding the building.

What makes the ordeal a little peculiar is that she could have avoided all the chaos by going out the back way like other big names do all the time…

but then there’d be no cop photo op!

Ted’s Melba Toasted

Hmmm…while we’re on the subject of Jennifer Aniston…this is Ted C’s most recent blind teaser: ‘Melba Toasted may know how to get a primo paycheck, but the poor brat just can’t seem to get a friggin’ break, nonetheless. Boo-hoo. Ever since Melba’s man, Devon Heaven, decided he wanted less wasted pastures (bedroom- and life-wise), Melba has simply been a wreck. I mean, what’s a jilted princess to do? Start writing a column called ‘Dear Jennifer’? Doubt Melba’s thought of anything so tacky–or common. ‘Cause we got ourselves a royal weepy one here, fer sure. See, Devon’s wrong, Toasted’s agents are wrong, the bartender’s wrong, everybody’s effing up but Melba-doll. Hey, M., think about it for a sec: Ever wonder if maybe, just maybe, you and your nose-bleed baddie ways had something (even if just a tad) to do with why the more intimate members of your existence seem to be abandoning you right now?’ Now I know it sounds almost too obvious… but gossips…one of the worst kept secrets in Hollywood is that Mrs. ex Pitt loves her happy. I’ve heard it from more than a few sources. Are y’all about ready to abandon your devotion yet??? Get over it smutters! At the end of the day, she’s just a plain, large-jawed, marginally talented tv star who has just made the biggest mistake of her life. In other words: perfect for Tom Cruise!

February 23rd, 2007 at 3:56 pm

Hello everyone! Been out of commission for a couple of days so it’s nice to drop in and chat with you all once again.

Like most people here, I will wait to celebrate until the adoption story is confirmed by a reliable source. However, if it’s true, it would be wonderful news particularly if the next child is a boy about Mad’s age.

For those people that keep criticizing Brad and Angie (or Angie in particular) about adding new members to their family, quit hating and most of all, quit projecting. Your criticisms are all very similar: too soon, the kids won’t get enough individual attention/care, it will be too crazy in that household etc.

For the “too soon” camp, people above have already pointed out that B&A want to raise their family all at once while they (B&A) are young enough to have the energy to run around and play with the kids. It’s a rational way of wanting to raise kids since you get the raising part done all at once instead of having to drag it out over decades (someone pointed out that caring for an infant all over again after you’ve raised your kids to be teens or adults will be a difficult adjustment). Additionally, it’s good to have/adopt kids like B&A have done since the kids will be close in age and can more effectively bond with and relate to each other. I have siblings that are 10 years older than I am and because of this age gap, I only got truly close to my sister who was closest to my age (5 years older) because my other siblings have always seemed too much of an adult for me to relate to them while I was growing up. I think the age gaps between MZS so far are pretty good since they won’t ever be so far apart in age that they can’t relate to each other. Any additions to the brood in the near future will reap the same benefit.

For the “kids won’t get enough individual attention/care” camp, you seem to be missing the point that B&A are not “ordinary parents” in terms of the help and resources at their disposal. The 2.5 kids per family norm these days is a relatively modern development and at least in America (and perhaps other western countries), it’s a result of the 2 income household reality for most families since more kids amount to more expenses and more demands on your time. A lot of couples feel that 2-3 kids is what is manageable because most couples nowadays both work so they have to juggle getting kids dressed and ready to go to school/daycare/nanny, going to work, picking up the kids afterwards, cooking dinner, helping kids with homework/spending time with them and then getting them ready for bed, cleaning up the house everyday. This doesn’t apply to B&A because even when they work, they make sure one of them stays with the kids. It’s also fairly common knowledge that the net worth of these two individuals alone can support 2 dozen kids and combined, they can probably adopt a small village. Additionally, these two don’t need to juggle child care with cleaning the house, yard work, cooking meals, etc. and to top it off, they can have live-in nannies to help usher kids to the bath, get them ready for trips, etc. Suffice it say that the number of children that B&A can handle is greater than that of an “ordinary” family. So for the critics, just because the number of kids you can handle is less than what B&A can handle doesn’t mean they’re less capable parents than you. My mother and both my grandparents came from families with 9-12 kids and they all turned out fine since they were raised during simpler times and had the luxury of having one parent at home at all times (and they didn’t even have maids/cooks/nannies). So stop harping on the number of kids B&A have and want to have—they can easily raise the soccer team they want with the resources they have.

For the “crazy household” camp, sure there will be commotion at a household with a lot of kids but a parents with maids and helpers can easily handle that. Lots of kids in a household means more friends and playmates for the kids. Having a huge family makes for great childhood memories. Some people seems to think family is all about parents and child only but the truth is, family is just as much about the relationships children develop with their siblings—to one child one sibling may be the pest, one sibling may be the protector, one sibling the confidant, etc. A big family doesn’t just mean a crazy household—often times, it also means a stronger support system and stronger sense of belonging.

So please, enough of the criticisms of B&A expanding their family!

Anyway, it never ceases to amaze me how a millisecond of a picture can tell a million stories - suddenly everyone is an expert in analyzing what people thinking in that moment, not to mention, everyone seems to have some kind of parental opinions….I do not think anyone of us wants to be lectured at, about how we raised our children. Just because Brad and Angelina are actors, it doesn’t mean that they are clueless and incapable of raising their children properly, according to what they think is best - I bet you, their children will grow up as sophisticated thinkers, and more enlightened than a lot of us. From what I see, their kids have all the comforts and love from their parents.

As for the people who spewed vicious and heinous words against Angelina and her children - These are awful words that only a wrathful person can do. It was obvious that whoever was spewing vile things, was projecting his/her own miseries and sufferrings. I pity those who cannot let go off their pain - their viciousness will poison the soul, and will take them to oblivion.

Hey Everyone-

If you go to celebrity baby blog they have the separate scans from the issue- there is an absolute precious, precious close-up of Shiloh which is the cutest thing- check it out!

Such an amazingly beautiful family- inside & out- there is absolutely nothing uppity or snobbish about them- they truly come across as very humble individuals- with the good sense to realize that they are most fortunate and therefore feel a need to give back and do what they can to help those that are less fortunate… such a breath of fresh air and so rare when most of hollywood/stars are so selfish, arrogant and only care about their own self-image and the amount of $$$ they can acquire… if only others would follow their lead…

I remember kk1 posted this @ 03/02/2007 at 4:04 pm

kk1 Says:

Angelina and Brad are totally together and happy now, have managed somehow in the crazy world they inhabit to form a tightknit family with three children, travel the world together as a family, and somehow coordinate their professional work obligations with their humanitarian interests.
Angelina is excelling at motherhood, Brad is excelling at fatherhood, and they are both hands on parents who do not leave their children to be raised by a nanny 99% of the time as many do.

They also find ways to treasure each other one on one on a regular basis, not neglecting or ignoring each other’s wants and needs. Both look at each other as if the other is their sun and moon and all the planets in one person. They are in physical contact constantly connecting with each other, even if only walking together or sitting near one another. Their bodies lean toward one another as if magnets.

Angelina is demonstrating that her family comes first in her life, then her humanitarian work, and then maybe movie roles, which has turned some people’s view of her upside down. Brad is demonstrating that he is supportive of Angelina, both in their family life, professionally as with Plan B producing AMH, and with her humanitarian issues and interests which he now shares as Angelina shares his. They both radiant contentness and fulfilled lives. They both seem to have thrown all of themselves, invested all they have into making their relationship all that it can be.

___________________________

You actually expect yourself to be taken seriously when you still talk about in things in terms of Team this or Team that? Freaking hell, this ain’t junior high!

I think it is great they are adopting, Brad is 43, why wait, look at the old dudes in their 60’s and 70’s having kids, now that I think is unfair to those children. What I wonder about though is what happens if something happnes to Angie, God forbid but , look at the whole ANS mess..Brad still has not officially adopted Maddox and Zahara. Right now he legally only has rights to Shiloh, so what if something happened to Angie, who would get the children? An attorney stated when he filed to change their names to his that there is a long waiting period for the adoption to go through, and if he gets married after filing to adoption then the process stops, and he then has to start over, and that delays it for another year. I don’t know the law, but it made me wonder what would happen , would he be left to fight for custody of the kids since he legally is not their father? What about this next one, he may be daddy in his heart and soul but in the eyes of the law he isn’t. What if they ever split up and they are not legally his, what rights does he have? That would be a concern I would think. Would the children then go to Angies next of kin? What about medical concerns, does he get any say on that? Isn’t this what the fight for same sex marraige is about, to protect the children as well as finances and health care. Whether they believe in marriage or not, at least it would protect his rights as a parent if they were married before this next adoption. Is anyone on here a lawyer that would know the answer to these questions. I ask because my cousin was in this situation, resident of Florida, and when his girlfriend died, he lost the baby, she went to his girlfriends her sister. She had adopted from overseas too. She was only 2 years old when mommy died in a car accident, but he was very attached to her. Took him a very long time to deal with it, the sister lives in a different state, so while he can visit, it is not often. Very difficult for him, he wishes they had gotten married , but just never realized how it could complicate things that they didnt’.

To all of the HATERS-please free your mind so you can get through the day without obsessing over Brad and Angie. you people are so miserable. Carrying all of this hate and rage on the inside.

you haters must spend every waking moment with Brad and Angie on your mind. Your family is suffering, boyfriends and husbands, kids,pets ,jobs, simply because you are filled with so much hate and want revenge on A/B for being beautiful and in lust and love.

You jerks should follow in your idols (Aniston) footsteps,take up yoga or meditation, stay away from the happy candy or powder okay,do something to get you mind back from the J/Pitts.

I feel sorry for you. How can you people allow yourselves to hate so much about nothing. Two people called it quit,one man has moved on with his life. Move on with yours,stop sitting around waiting for something to happen so you can twist it and spin it so you can say- ah hah see bad karma caught up to him for loving Angie and the kids.

i have to agree @ 03/02/2007 at 4:16 pm

Lainey was so right about one thing.

Jennifer’s fans are the most vile and racist people. Time and time
again, her fans prove that. What a sad and miserable
thing for Jennifer. Her fans are all emotionally
unstable and insecure people who also have racist
opinions.

#238 Katia,Maddox’s and Zahara’s adoption was final before Shiloh was born.Brad told that in his News Week interview last summer.It takes 6 to 9 months for adoption to become final.So no need for your “concern.”

I suspect that some of these haters would be happy if BP and AJ spent their millions on designer shopping sprees, mega mansions, yachts, “happy”, million dollar platinum vibrators, rather than invest in a child’s life. If this news is true, then I greatly admire them. They are giving hope to another child and bringing them into a household full of love and laughter. That child has just won the adoption lottery. I think it is great and haters are singing the same old tune. They really should get new “talking points”. You see the same old tired arguments over and over, blog after blog. At first it was it is too soon for AJ to get pregnant and have Shiloh. Now it is too soon to adopt another child. I do not think, “Haters Anonymous” will help some of these people.
BP and AJ just continue to live their lives, growing their family and building their careers. You got to love it. BP has finally obtained the family he has longed and begged for. AJ is a compassionate woman who loves children. BP has found a woman who is not only sexy and beautiful but one who shares his dreams. I wish them all the best. Those children are truly blessed. Best wishes to BAMZS+1.

LMAO are you serious? that would actually mean that I cared about any of you … no angry here. Been a very funny afternoon, alot of laughs. I would speak to your team members better known as “team angry or crazy”. Popping blood pressure meds and typing in bold and caps ..

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Never said that I was a part of a team for I didn’t then or now believe in that crap. Yet for someone who doesn’t care about it…you brought it up. So what size do you want for that “Team bitter as h### and I have no life, so I go post about a couple I supposely don’t like” shirt? XXXL to fit all those bitter pills you have been taking the last few months?

what an exhilirating ride this has been today! I usually just “lurk”, today I posted, what a rush!

Thanks JJ for all the BAMZS news. BP and AJ, in particular, are inspirational in all they do. I am in the midst of reading her “Journals from My Travels”. Though I certainly do not profess to be an expert on what she feels and what she knows, she certainly inspires me to put my best foot forward, and give a little of myself in various ways. I hope she instills that sense in many of us!

Curious myself? Thanks. Why does everyone that does not agree with you freaks have to be a fan of Jens? Curious, how you claim that Brad had moved over Jen but none of you can? Curious, why do all of you freaks all lead the road back to Jen? Curious, why do all the freaks of nature all use the word hate when someone does not agree with you? Have any of actually even looked that word up?? Hate is a very strong word and you all throw it around like nothing. Very strange world you all live in, my guess is you voted for Bush and probably twice! Ekkk .. bless your lonely families and friends. Off to the real world .. you all should check it out sometime.

I don’t think it was, only the name change. His petition to file for adoption was final.
My concern is genuine, the adoption was not to be final until sometime this year according to the attorney, so while that may be close, this next child will still be vulnerable, because he will have to petiton to adopt this one, and the waiting period starts again, so I think my concern is a valid one since I watched my cousin and continue to do so go through hell . It is a valid question. Technically, this child from Vietmam will be Angelinas, not Brad’s legally. It does not matter how much you love your child, if you can not even make a medical decision for them in the even the legal parent is unavailble.

Whether Jen looked the same or not the same after nose job is not relevant at all. Nose job is not a topic to discuss. It is a silly gossip that keeps the readers stupid.

I agree that Jen wouldn’t be well-known (I would not say she is famous), if she were not married with Brad Pitt and didn’t get so many attention with her divorce.

Playing a role for 10 years doesn’t demand a lot of acting talent; it’s like going to the same Mall for 10 years. Additionally, it would be very worse, if people who watched TV for 10 years wouldn’t know her. Watching Friends for a decade (!) one can get a kind of a Friends’ brain-wash and silly.

I have seen “Break-up” and I am really sorry. I couldn’t finish watching the whole movie. It was so boring - no tension or passion at all. If Jen were not so well-known because of the reasons mentioned above, I am sure she wouldn’t have got that role in the Break-Up. There are many other actresses who would play much better and the Break-up would be perhaps not too bad.

Exactly! Instead of being happy that one child will be spared the experience of growing up in an orphanage, the haters focus on negative possibilities that amount to nothing but wishful thinking on their part. If you ask any orphan whether they prefer being one of four children in a loving household or one of hundreds of kids in an orphanage, which choice do you think they would prefer?

Glad you came out to play sophie.

From all accounts, BP has legally adopted Maddox and Zahara. BP is a successful businessman. He knows how to handle and protect his interest. People do not give him enough credit. The man has not become a 20 million dollar actor with backend profits, real estate investor and formed a Production company without having some sense. BP and AJ are committed partners and will do everything to protect the interest of their children. AJ is not some wicked witch that will take BP’s children away from him. She is not a vindictive woman who only knows how to smear an ex. Let them worry and protect their children. It is a full time job taking care of our own lives.

why did Jen spend so much time @ 03/02/2007 at 4:35 pm

Jen the Chin spends so much time lyposuctioning, botoxing, face peeling and exercising, visiting the plastic surgeon, I wonder what she is gonna do when she reaches middle-age and those hormones hick in and your body changes, and there is nothing you can do, because hormones rule. She will probably commit suicide.

Maddox and Zahara have been legally adopted by Brad according to Brad and several reliable sources. I am sure Brad will adopt this one. IF Angelina adopts another baby , Angelina can use a lawyer to set up paperwork such as give Brad the right to make medical decisions on the new adopted child and any other rights she wants to give until the adoption is final. I have on numerous ocasions been given rights to make medical decisions for my nieces if my sister/husband are unavailable . Angelina has stated before that they have thought out everything , I am sure than includes what to happen in case of all possible scenerios. If you are true fan, I think you need not worry.

To the People who have a problem with this….
What about parents with TWINS, TRIPLETS and QUADRUPLETS? How do they manage? How have they managed? Where do you GET OFF judging other people’s parenting plans? Who died and made you the parenting police. Honestly do you people even think at all?

You have a different rules for everyone else and one for BP & AJ? I didn’t see this much hoopla over Julia Roberts having twins under 3 and being pregnant again or Heidi Klum having babies under 3 years old. I guess it’s okay….since they birthed their own children but this is adoption….adoption that’s probably gonna take another 6-9months you dolts, then it’s a big issue. I wish for your sakes, you’d stop typing because you only expose how very ignorant you are.

I agree. The Jolie/Pitt household is NOT an average household. They have people do the mundane work, freeing time for the parents to spend with the kids.

All those haters who posted HAVE NEVER MET the Jolie/Pitt. If you dont live with them, and observe, how can you know who they are?

It’s unjust just to pass judgement on them.

Theirs will be a fun, noisy, loving household. People raise large households all the time. My father comes from a family with 8 children. It takes teamwork, love and money and they have demostrated that they have all three.

They are going to have so much chaotic fun.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Hey bermy girl - ITA. I grew up with 6 siblings (3 above and 3 below me - the typical middle child). My brothers and sister and I have the best memories of our times growing up. We always had a house full of friends, pets, camping trips, a pool in the backyard, cousins to hang out with. And, my Mother stayed home to try to give us the direction we needed, with my Dad working two jobs.

We are all well adjusted, well educated, contributing members of society. Given the love that Brad and Angie have for their kids, I am sure the kids will be just fine. The JP’s are fortunate enough to offer their children opportunities that alot of us didn’t have - traveling the world and first hand knowledge of many cultures.

For any of those who are worried about their children, I think you’d be better off worrying elsewhere. Can’t wait for the next Jolie-Pitt to arrive!

I wouldn’t worry about the kids. BP and AJ have advisers and lawyers on hand to think these issues through and advise the couple on legal safeguards and estate planning. Most likely, both BP and AJ have a will naming each other guardians of the kids if one of them passes away. Most likely they have set up a Trust for the kids that will provide for them throughout their life and that trust likely names each of them to act as trustee for the kids.

I’m sorry to hear about your cousin’s experience but chances are, his partner didn’t have a will or other legal document that can speak of his partner’s wishes for the kid’s care when she passed on. It’s something that is typical of most people here in the U.S.–no one drafts wills and the like until they’re 60 years old. Given the advisers that both BP and AJ have, this doesn’t apply to them.

Jen wants “to change from the Rachel image” In all of her movies, she is just a different version of Rachel

TBU - She played Rachel to perfection (which I beleive is playing herself)

Friends W/Money - Played Rachel with no money but rich friends

Rumor Has It - Played a confused Rachel

DeRailed - Played Rachedl trying to be sexy and seductive, while being sinister and failed miserably at it

Polly - A neurotic Rachel

Bruce - Rachel adoring Jim Carrey

Good Girl - Rachel working at Wal Mart and looking sad; not acting sad, just looking it

Rock Star- Rachel waiting for her boyfriend to come to his senses and realize his love for her

A rather boring career “All About Rachel”.

Cheap Shot stealing from Bettina. Also, why are we talking about Rachel in this thread anyway? It is about a happy event in B&A’s life. Let’s move on.

Stop bringing Jen up. She’s a hasbeen. We don’t care what she is doing or how her non-career is going. At this stage, I rather read about Brit Brit than Jen Jen. So please STOP STOP.

i think she really has issues with her hairdo
in every movie, it’s the same , so it’s like she’s not playing a new character;

great idea: go away and spend her money: she doesn’t need acting, she’s a lost case;

back to topic: CONGRATULATIONS Brad Angelina
happy news, and what a very lucky child !!!!

True, my cousins girlfriend did not have a will. She was only 26 and like many young people they just didnt get around it. Many people just dont think they will ever be faced with that stuation I guess. I have a girlfriend that lived with the love of her life for 10 years, unfortunately the house was in his name and when he had a heart attack and died she was forced to move out of her beautiful home, and again no will. My own BIL died and his common law wife, who wasn’t really because our state does not recognize had died before him, so then when he died his son , again no will, was homeless (we took him in) while all the property went through probat for 18 months, it was a huge mess. I guess that is why I worry about the legalities of things, I have seen first hand what a mess things can be. I dont think people have to be married to be a family, of course not, but when adoption is involved it just makes it easier in general.

I think Brad and Angelina are aware of all this kind of law stuff;
the first thing Brad did when his divorce was final and the house and all things were divided, he was seaking to adopt Maddox and Zahara;
And the adoption is final , the thing is the hearing is public but the final adoption is private ;
So before Shiloh was born, it was final;but it was not in the press:

I would love to see Brad and Angie get married and I agree it would make adoptions, trust, wills, etc. and all that legal mumbo jumbo much easier. But I have to believe also that Brad & Angie has already thought of that and taken care of it as much as it is possible to. Angie said something to the effect that we are legally bound to our kids and they have some of the best lawyers around. Another thing is that because they have a residence in CA, wouldn’t they already be recognized as having a common law marriage?

Yeah a lot of people, especially unmarried people in their 20s and 30s, do not have a will because they think that they are invincible and that death is unlikely to strike them. Even a lot of married couples with kids don’t have them because they just forget to make time to sit down and plan out the financial affairs of their kids if they pass away.

As I said, BP and AJ (or their lawyers) most likely have things under control. Once the adoption papers are finalized, their lawyers will likely revise all their estate planning documents to include the new child so that they don’t end up with a will like Anna Nicole Smith’s (which doesn’t provide for DannieLynn). If the unspeakable happens, I think all of the kids will be kept together by the judge and not packed off piecemeal to Brad and other members of AJ’s family. Additionally, final or not, the adoption papers filed already shows intent on AJ’s part to have Brad become the legal father of the kids so I doubt that the mere fact that they aren’t final would prove to be an insurmountable obstacle in court.

Just because Brad & Angelina didn’t issue a press release to say that Brad’s adoption of Maddox & Zahara is final doesn’t mean it is not final. Brad said it was and he, most of all should know that Maddox & Zahara are legally his children now too. Why folks believe Brad & Angie only did a name change is beyond me and seems to suit the posters wish that these two aren’t in their relationship for the long haul. EVERYTHING these two do just scream this fact….they are solidifying their family more and more and you can see that they get great joy from all their children.

Sometimes reading these blogs get to be an exercise in futility with the way some people hate on Brad & Angelina. I can’t understand the hate after all this time…..

—————-
Katia The adoption is LEGALLY FINAL since last May early June. Angie filled the name change petition in December 2005 asking to add the Pitt surname after hers to the kid’s surname. The name change petition became final in January 2006. Alongside Brad filled papers to adopt the kids in December 2005 and the adoption became final within 6-7 months. The adoption papers are a private document and of course you won’t be able to see it or know what the attorneys said. It was reported in the Newsweek magazine where Brad gave an interview last year that the adoption finalized around the time Shiloh was born and as Angie said the are legally bonded to their children.

Exactly! All you can do is to anounce that you are adopting if you wish. The process and the paperwork is private documents that the public have not the right to see.

Brady Bunch, does anyone remember them? How many kids? How many families? At one time they were considered the all American family. How many children, I can’t remember. But it was more than three or four. Peace.

I wish she would have nursed and nurtured her youngest baby longer. What would the birth moms of her other kids have given to be able to hold and breastfeed , bond and love their babies…she is taking so much for granted and it is peculiar behavior. She is bordering on seeming to have a compulsion for collecting children. I am getting worried.

Why it is when some good things happens to BRAD and to ANGELINA, some person must always think of the negative ideas? Why is they envious of the good richness of the families? They only want bad things for this fortunate family.

====================================================
ITA. I had been bringing up that same question time and time again — and no one has given a satisfactory answer, except for one negative poster, who did comment that Heidi and Seal are married, so that makes it better because being married speaks of their commitment to each other. Yeah, right! Wasn’t Britney married to K-Fed too? And after two babies one after the other, look what happened.

The naysayers just want to post anything negative about Brad and Angelina. They keep hoping they will break up and Brad will go back to the _, and Angelina will go back to her old ways … ha ha ha!

OMG this is spooky stuff. I sorta blew off the rumors last week, but then, there were signs…

I think Mad wants a kid brother - and it would be good for him to have the company. And now is probably the time to do it. You don’t want to adopt a kid that’s too old. But if the gap between the kids is too big, they won’t make really good company for each other. I know from personal experience… Good place to get a kid brother (I assume) for Mad though!

Angie always wanted to have lots of kids. More power to her. Still, probably a good idea to space them out. Kids do feel kinda lost when there are too many of them around the same age…

Good luck on the new baby! Mad will be one happy kid…

I knew several actress were raising their kids single-handedly, Jodie Foster had 3 boys, Sarah Stone , 2 or 3 boys, they are actress and busy but they are doing fine. Brad and Angie will be having 4 kids, they are 2 persons caring for 4 kids, I think they will be fine.

Poor Brad and Angie. If they had only one child, they would be accused of raising a poor socially deprived only child. If they had stopped at Mad and Z, then they would be accused of not loving each other enough to have a biological child or not loving each other because they didn’t want a biological child. Now Angie goes to adopt (since she has already had all the home visits etc. it makes sense) and they have too many children and poor Shiloh isn’t going to get the nurturing she needs. I think the two of them are doing a fantastic job of parenting. They make time each day for each child individually, they do things with the children as a group, they do things with them in twos. All of the kids look happy. I grew up in a large family and none of us felt deprived because our parents had another child–we are all one to two years apart. We didn’t feel like we weren’t nurtured, carried around, loved etc. Those of you criticizing their family expansion plans must be only children or children that for some reason were neglected. I can tell you as many others can — being aprt of a large family and being close in age can be a truly wonderful experience. Try not to project your own insecurities and ill informed opinions on this family. They are a great multi-cultural family. And I bet when the kids–the entire soccer team–gets older, you won’t see them partying like Paris and crew, flashing their privates like Britany Spears etc. I bet they take a much more serious view of the world and try to do something to better our planet. Kudos to the Jolie-Pitts for raising such a wonderful brood!

coalharbourqt @ 03/02/2007 at 11:46 pm

I don’t think I’ve ever seen so much fake concern over a small child for whom we don’t even have a face or a name yet! I have no doubt that their new child will be well looked after and loved, just as Maddox, Zahara, and Shiloh are. If Angelina and Brad aren’t meant to adopt this child then the powers that be will make that decision - until then I don’t think it is anyone’s place to say otherwise!! Adoptive families undergo intense scrutiny before a child is placed in their home - so if there was a problem a professional who is payed for their opinion will let the Jolie-Pitts know. Therefore, I think it goes without saying that if an orphan from Vietnam is placed in their home then everyone should assume there are no problems unless it is proven otherwise.

An orphan from a Third World country has a much higher chance of not surviving to the age of 10 than an orphan from North America or Europe, so I completely support their decision to adopt from a part of the world where orphans are much less fortunate.

As for having too many kids too soon, well, I myself am a twin and my parents managed just fine to handle two kids going through the same stages at the same time! As well, my maternal grandmother grew up in a family of 13 kids - and survived the Great Depression! And they all went on to lead happy, healthy lives without the many advantages that Angelina and Brad have available. Everyone seems to forget or midunderstnd that they aren’t having 4 kids in two years - Angelina and Maddox were ALREADY a family when Brad entered the picture, and both Zahara and Shiloh were welcomed by both Brad and Angelina equally. I think they’re more than capable of deciding how/when to form and expand their family.

I can understand better the people that come here and say that they just don’t like Angelina and/or Brad - okay fine, that is your opinion (usually ill informed, but nevertheless their opinion) - but to pick apart the good deeds of Brad and Angie and speak negative of their adoption of a child who will suffer needlessly otherwise (and when you don’t even have all the correct facts!) is just ignorant, plain and simple.

All the time people with less resources have 6 or more kids. I am one of five. Grandmother had nine. All my Aunts and Uncles went to college and have careers. Let’s be honest. Most of those voicing concern would not be so concerned if the children were white. Asian and African children should not be afforded a good life. That is what is really going on. I hope they adopt more. They have a deep love for children. That is the most important thing.

I was just going to post something like this, but I got a whole bunch of work earlier and did not have time to post right away (don’t you hate it when you work nights and it’s a Friday night, and they can’t even give you a break? I had hoped for a quiet night, with not much work, but apparently no such luck). Anyway, as somebody pointed out earlier, Jodie Foster has adopted three, so did Sharon Stone, but since they have adopted Caucasian orphans, then it’s okay, no one set up a big stink.

But — oh no, not Angelina, with all her “problems”. Then all those naysayers have to put in their ignorant take on the matter — yes, ignorant, because how can they say that a child in an orphanage in a 3rd world country is better off staying in that orphanage??? Have they even seen one orphanage in Vietnam, or Cambodia, for that matter? And why do they act like having more than three children is a disaster — “they cannot give them quality time” etc etc etc. That’s BS. Look at Dina Lohan … she only had two children and still messed up with Lindsay. And what about Lynn Spears and Britney?

Ay-yay-yay!!! All that ignorance displayed. Sigh … is it really ignorance or they just do it because it’s Brad and Angelina?

All this fake concern for Shiloh is just a screen. Some are clearly unhappy to see Brad Pitt with his socalled 3rd world children. They do not want to see him with any children but blond blue eyed children acceptable in their racist minds. And they only consider Shiloh as his child, and refuse to believe that he has actually adopted Maddox and Zahara. So they label Angelina “crazy” and Brad as “not intelligent”. They are so wrong. Angelina would not have filed to adopt another child UNLESS BRAD WAS IN FULL ACCORD WITH THE DECISION. AND BRAD IS NOT THE TYPE OF MAN TO LET SHILOH OR ANY OTHER CHILD OF HIS BE MISTREATED IN ANY WAY BY ANYONE.

A Certain Smile, you hit the nail on the head.

As a person of color the vibes where everywhere but I didn’t want to post while angry. It’s sad and a shame that people just can’t love in the name of love. Or that they can’t or won’t grasp that a child is a child. A child doesn’t need to come from your body to be your child(ren).

I still think she’s rushing things a little bit. Why can’t she just enjoy what she’s got for a while? Gosh, Shiloh is only 9 months. It’s not about quantity but quality at this point. Nobody knows how she is raising the kids but I feel it wouldn’t hurt for her to wait a few years.

It’s so funny to read all the posts from the Brangelina obsessive fans especially when someone they see a post they don’t like…I say go to Angelina and Brad’s forums if you don’t want to read different opinions on the issue. Bamzs or whatever? what have these kids done to deserve fans? LOL…some people need to take it easy on the worshipping of celebrities.

special agent scott @ 03/03/2007 at 6:45 am

posh- that’s rich coming from someone name posh-too much time on your hands hun- oh david and tom are calling.

Posh–
We are not all obsessive Brangelina fans. Some of us know that it is possible to have a ton of love for kids in our hearts–even kids that are close together. When you grow up in a large family it doesn’t mean that each child isn’t valued no matter how close they are to one another. This adoption is going to take at least six months. Brad and Angie are really fortunate in that they can afford help and Angelina has even referred to this fact–I don’t remember the exact quote, but she said we are fortunate (paraphrased) to have the money and resources for a large family. They both want one. I for one just love their rainbow family. She has stated she wants her kids to be citizens of the world and her dream was to have a lot of kids from all different cultures. What is wrong with that? Is it that these kids are black? Asian? What? TLC has featured that family in AK that has far less resources that has had 16 biological children. Everytime someone has sextuplets, they get on the news and people give them money, gifts etc., as well as manufacturers donating diapers. How can someone give 7 children at one time the nurturing many of you think Shiloh will lack if Angie adopts one more child?
You know Posh, you anti Brad and Angie fans are just as funny with your opinions. They have the resources and more importantly the LOVE. I say you go girl and you go Brad–adopt until you know you can’t handle any more. You guys are great parents from what we can tell. How lucky for any child you adopt to be surrounded by your love. Just looka t the pictures of Brad with Shiloh that just came out. Older pics with him with Mad and Z. Pictures of Angie laughing with Mad or hugging Z or protectively carrying Shiloh. They show a lot of love for each child. And how wonderful for them and the child that they are going to adopt that their hearts are big enough for another!

Such a holy-go-pious attitude should be doing charity work instead of obsessing over a a family that you don’t know a thing about except what you read in the rags/internet. Perhaps if you did some volunteering of your own you wouldn’t need (nor have the time) to be so judgmental about other’s good deeds.

Is Heidi Klum collecting kids?she had 3 babies in 3 years,where is your “concern” for the nurturing of Leni age 2 and Henry age 1,when Heidi gave birth to Johan?
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Madmax doesn’t care about them because they’re mixed, he’s only concerned about Shiloh because she’s white! All BAMZS haters are RACISTS, make sure you call them on it!

288posh:”what have these kids done to deserve fans? LOL…some people need to take it easy on the worshipping of celebrities.”

I do not know what you mean not to worship , the parents or the children.?No what you mean does not have no logic. There many reasons that one is worships by another . Some have money, others have the beauty, others have talent extradernary, and very few shares of its wealth and time with those peoples with less. In a country where the athletes are treated as Gods. I think that I would easier to understand the sensation of adoration of BAMZS. This family exibits four qualaties that I mentioned before.

sherkthethird @ 03/03/2007 at 11:22 am

you know what the more i think about it the more i think brad and angie will break up sooner than people think. I think he is feeling it. I am sure he’s thinking what have i let myself in for? Sure he loves his daughter and I am sure his family feels the same but adopting again so soon isn’t realistic. I know they can afford it but that is not the point at all. Angelina should open a centre for needy kids instead of adopting them. She’s a mess.

sherkthethird @ 03/03/2007 at 11:25 am

And for those who think they are fantastic for helping kids out. PLEASE….They are doing more damage than good by adopting all the time to the kids. They are both high fliers, they barely have enough time to spend with their kids at the moment, now she is part of this council thing, she is keen on learning about world’s problems we know that, but her kids also need a mum. Kids need full time parents not nannies and private planes!

If Brad and Angelina were married and having a baby every year, no one would worry about them. Think of Eddie Murphy and his wife. Think of Justin Chambers and his wife. They each have 5 kids. No adoptions!

What about a lot of Mormons who still have 10 kids? It’s not as bad as you think. I believe Brad and Angelina want to adopt as many children as they can and then stop because they will both be getting older and cannot adopt forever. They want to fill their home with children and raise them up as a family together. Maddox will be able to help out with the younger ones soon. It will be good for him. Plus they have the money to get help whenever they need it. I don’t worry about them at all. The more the merrier if you really love children and the more children you can save from a horrible life, the better.

I see all the concerned fan’s(fake fan’s) are still out.This is Brad and Angelina’s life not yours.They are not the first couple to want a large family nor will they be the last.You people just have a problem with Angelina and use this as a excuse to slam her and Brad which I find pathetic.Both of these people have made it clear over the years they wanted ALOT of childern,hell Brad has stated he wanted 7 and it looks like he is going to get them.Angelina made it VERY clear in Dec that she was not going to working very much this couple planned this out, it was not spur of the moment!For those who want play the she’s crazy card,what has she done since becoming a Mother that is crazy?Nothing!It takes alot to hate,personally why would you want to spend that much time and energy hating people you will never meet.Take your so-called(fake)concern and put it into your own family.I wish this family the best!

special agent scott @ 03/03/2007 at 12:37 pm

# 294 and 295 you are such a non-educated lemming if you think being in an orphanhage is better than adpotion- i know why don’t you put your precious children in an orphanage and lets see how little bill and susie like it-however if you don’t have children then i guess your point is moot- ps since you can predict the future can you tell me the numbers for powerball tonight, i need a little spare change.

#292 Haters are Racist,OH YEAH!BIG TIME!!!!

sherkthethird @ 03/03/2007 at 12:54 pm

special agent scott, being in an orphanhage is better than being adopted by an unstable parents (meaning someone who has just lost a mum and given birth to a baby who can’t even walk yet). Especially if the parents are superstars who do little to protect children from the public eyes.

sherkthethird Says:

Well take it from a hater. Mia Farrow adopted a bunch of kids. Is she a mess? People Mag reported that they planned it after Shiloh’s birth so that means it is not spur of the moment & Brad was not consulted. Geezzz, a hater will always be a hater & whatever reasoning you present them (even if it is the actual fact) they will not a bit change their opinion.

HAVEN’T YOU ALL NOTICED THAT THE RANTING HATERS ALWAYS ARE NEW POSTERS? OR COULD THEY BE OLD TIME POSTING HATERS CHANGING NAMES TO MAKE IT BELIEVABLE THAT THE WHOLE WORLD HATES THEM.

sherkthethird=finally=angelianattnwhore=reality

THE SAME PERSON IS HERE AGAIN RESPONDING TO POSTERS SHE DISAGREE WITH. YOU HAVE BEEN IN EVERY THREAD & EVERY THREAD YOU ARE IN YOU KEEP CHANGING NAMES & YOU ALWAYS HAVE SO MUCH FAKE CONCERN. YOU CAN’T GET ENOUGH OF BRAD & ANGELINA BECAUSE YOU ADORE THEM.

ARE YOU BRAGGING AGAIN FOR 8 HOURS OR FOR THE WHOLE WEEKEND?

Good post coalharbourqt.
“I can understand better the people that come here and say that they just don’t like Angelina and/or Brad - okay fine, that is your opinion …- but to pick apart the good deeds of Brad and Angie and speak negative of their adoption of a child who will suffer needlessly otherwise (and when you don’t even have all the correct facts!) is just ignorant, plain and simple.”
ITA. Instead of hiding behind “concern”, “worry”, self righteous pretensions (see my 220 post), know it all attitudes, just come out and be honest. Perceptions about these two individuals are misconceived and misplaced. Others who know them personally have said each are the most misunderstood individuals, why are people who are so far removed from them feel it appropriate to make sweeping accusations, assumptions and speculations without fact, logical premises, yet alone never having interacted with them other than through a tabloid article.

Original Curious @ 03/03/2007 at 1:09 pm

What a totally bizarre thread! I’ve been roflmao at the “concern” shown to the existing kids of the family. And the idea that they don’t have enough “time” for more kids…..honestly….AND they don’t have couple time….though Angie reported they go off on their bikes and stay in roadside motels…..What an odd collection of posts. And AG called names! OUR AG! Did I misread or were they calling her Cliniqua as well? Well, at least Clini isn’t a guy from My Space anymore….not sure how AG will feel about sharing her body though…….:lol:

#300 Sherkthethird,None of your posts have any logic what-so-ever.This adoption was planned before way before her Mother passed.They are getting on with their life as they SHOULD!Angelina has done nothing since becoming a Mother that is unstable.So is Heidi Klum unstable for having 3 babies in 3 years?You are the one who sounds UNSTABLE.Obsessing over other peoples family planning,remember it’s not your life.Also cut the crap about protecting the childern from public eyes I think they do a good job considering all of the media that is focused on them.What are they supposed to do keep the kid’s locked in the house and never take them out?You have a BIG TIME hate problem and just want something,hell anything to rag about.

I guess some of you have had really bad experiences with internet, LOL. I don’t like posing as different people. It is too confusing for me, LOL. By the way 305 (with Says) if you have read my post carefully from the beginning then you would know why I don’t say anything about Heidi Klum. So there you go you can cut the **** as you called it in your post.

#307 sherkthethird,No you didn’t say anything about Heidi Klum,but she has had several childern in a short period of time,THAT IS MY POINT.You have the nerve to call Angelina unstable for doing the same.You have a problem with Angelina that’s why you are knocking her.Sharon Stone also adopted 2 babies in a years time,she now has 3 and she is bringing them up ALONE!Does that make her unstable?Oh I guess only Angelina is unstable for wanting childern,huh?

You don’t want to adopt a kid that’s too old. But if the gap between the kids is too big, they won’t make really good company for each other. I know from personal experience… Good place to get a kid brother (I assume) for Mad though!

*********************************

Please don’t say one doesn’t want to “adopt a kid too old.” All children deserve homes. I know several people who have adopted older children from Ethiopia and they are delieriously happy…..the entire family! The oldest orphan I know personally was 15 when she left. She and I made a Duncan Hines cake together in the orphanage in Addis when she was still too shy to speak an English sentence, a day before she got on the plane with her new family and us to go to her new home. That’s when I adopted my 14-month old boy. I have never met a more helpful, polite, wonderful teenager than that beautiful girl.

If she had not been adopted, her only recourse to survive on the streets of Ethiopia would have been prostitution. Instead she is now perfectly happy in a wonderful family in California. Adopt the older kids too!!!

#308 sherkthethird,I’ll tell you what is UNREAL,You are!Let’s see you can call a woman unstable who has done nothing in say 6 years to warrant that opinion.Then you give your bias opinion on someone else’s family planning,please save the dribble for some else.

nobody would be saying it was too much or too soon if Angelina was pregnant.

#314 test,Yeah they would.The thing is adoption is a long process.The paper work has just been filed,it could be another 6 to 12 months before they even recieve a child.So almost the same time frame as carrying a child.

I wonder why that Vietnamese official went to the press with their intentions of adoption. Usually they keep their business quiet. I blame him for all of this speculation and negativity. Of course all of this would have occurred once they had adopted, but it would have been after the fact. I keep trying to understand this person’s motivation to expose their intentions. I wonder if they knew her was going to do this? I guess it really doesn’t matter in the long run, but it just gets the media and haters longer to blow hate. Of course if there are complications they can always adopt somewhere else. It seems having them adopt a child from any country brings a certain amout of status to that country. I hope everything proceeds without any problems.

I had never blogged until I discovered this site, and I must say it has been an eye opener. I have never seen such hateful and racist comments passed off as truth in my life. Some of these are really sick. But the scary part is that some of these people are our neighbors and that is frightening.

322 should be he instead of her, “if they knew he”.

Big families are great. Most people have not been lucky enough to experience this. Everyone in the family is there for each other and believe it or not most parents have time for all the children. I grew up in a big family and I felt lucky every day. There was always someone around when I needed them. We were so happy and had a lot of fun together. I never for one second felt less loved.
I applaud Angie and Brad for their decision to adopt another child and wanting more children. They do this out of the goodness of their hearts, not to please any one. As long as they can give a child a good home, then they should.

sherkthethird @ 03/03/2007 at 3:58 pm

Kearnie ( 310), what racist comments??? First I was accused of posing as different users (god knows why) and now I am accused of being a racist??? LOL. Man this is insane.

sherkthethird @ 03/03/2007 at 4:12 pm

This business of sharon stone being unstable is funny..LOL. I think she’s pretty stable. Let’s see when she promoted basic instinct 2, Did we see any pictures of her kids, NO. I guess she knew better than to give them to the tabloids while her movie was out. I also guess she didn’t give them to promote the film and then tried to make it appear as if she was trying to promote a third world country. Do we see her dragging her kids around the world because of her work, NO. Has she just lost her mum and wants to adopt again soon after she has given birth to a baby, NO. Does she says thing like “I don’t see borders” and calls her baby ” a blob”, NO. Oh and why is she allowed to adopt so easily in the US? Because she doesn’t have a history of drug abused or self-harm. There you go. I am out of here. :) You can get bitter and angry all you want people :) I will be drinking my cocktails in a bar with my girlfriends. BYE BYE cyber people.

#329 Sherkthethird,Still clueless I see.I never said Sharon Stone was unstable,I simply pointed out the fact she adopted 2 babies in 1 years time.When Sharon promoted her movies all over the world what do you think she did with her kids?She bought them with her or left at home with a nanny,so why is it ok for her to do so but Angelina is being questioned for traveling with her kids?Angelina and Brad are not they only celebrity couple who travels with kids in tow,they are ALWAYS together as a family and that is whats important.Also no offense but the press is not exacty killing themselves to get pictures of Sharon Stones kid’s and you know it!I just love how you bring up the blob comment,did you get this upset when Gwen S called Kingston a blob?So Gwen can call her baby a blob and it’s ok but when Angelina utters the word it’s a sin?Doublestandard big time!You are full of it and just want any little excuse to nitpick at Angelina and it’s sad!You had the nerve to call me bitter,I think not.Remember you are the one wasting countless energy and time blogging about someone you don’t like.If that is hateful and bitter I don’t know what is honey!

Surely we all remember when Sharon Stone left the baby in the car with the chauffeur while she went into a restaurant for dinner with a man. The paps were taking pictures in the windows. Yep, mother of the year Sharon with her perfect tow-headed USA babies.

For all of those that said talked about 16 kids is good blah blah, after you reach a certain number the parents or no longer raising the kids, the kids are raising kids. By all means watch that TLC special, very much like a little boot camp or sweat shop. A lot of responsibility goes into a big family. Good thing angie and brad have money and nannys that will be filling the void in the kids lives while they are saving the world and working 14 hour days on the set of their movie.

I would be embarrassed of yourselves for creating this dysfunctional forum. When you call others stupid, illogical, mentally ill, and losers, think about the reason for your intolerance. Whether or not someone likes or dislikes a media image, will never excuse the type of behavior this group produces.

To be considered a “hater” amongst this group tells me that I have the courage to not blindly follow something, but, to analyze, form my own opinions, and yes, stay relatively neutral. Have i admired this family- Yes. Have i seen other things and said Gee wiz why in the world would you pose for the most Beautiful family? well, yes.

I respect my views, and i would like to have them respected at this web-site. Diversity is a good thing. Tolerance will allow everyone to heal & is a much more healthy position.
