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!
