OlderAngelina 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!

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.
#99 leetle UN,Thank you.I cannot believe how these non-fan’s and fake fan’s are flipping out over this.Heidi Klume has 3 babies in 3 years I don’t recall people trippin then.This is just a way for certain people to hate on this family.Remember this is Angelina’s and Brad’s life not yours.

What a ridiculous joke ! Everything Angelina done was to piss of Maniston ? I bet when Shiloh graduated from college is another piss of Maniston, or Brad and Angie gonna have another bio kid next year will piss of Maniston. Oh yes, those cute,beautiful pic of Brad and Shiloh was to piss of Maniston .?
It’s almost 2 yrs since Brad and his X separated, please move on!
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.

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 … 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.
====================================================
AS SO MANY POSTERS BEFORE HAVE POINTED OUT, I HOPE YOU ALSO POST THIS ON HEIDI KLUM’S THREAD. I hope you also tell her she needs a therapist, because she is a busy woman (so is her husband Seal) and yet they are having one baby after the other. Because if you also scold Angelina, and not Heidi, then there IS SOMETHING WRONG HERE. Shows your bias AGAINST ANGELINA, doesn’t it???
Whenever However Whatever!!
As a Fan i respect their decisions completely, without question.

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.

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.
I usually just lurk, but all of these foolish comments have me in tears right now. Veo que los tontos no tenian q trabajar hoy lol. I usually ignore but today{s non sense is just too funny.
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. God help them, they are so miserable. reallyyyyyyyyy reallyyyyyyyyyy miserable.

Lmao, the mentality of a 13 yrs old? This coming from someone who…”just can’t understand how two GROWN people will handle 4 children” ….like it is is something so out of this world, something no one has ever done.
By the way, if saying they won’t love one child because they have other children, isn’t judging…pray tell what is?
So funny, how some people are suddenly familiar with their “constitutional rights to comment on a blog”….Oy, if only they took the same effort to research the fact that a mother can have 11 children and still love all of them, Oh it will save us some much times, no?

African Girl Says:
LMAO and ITA! My grandmother had nine children (some of them back to back) and love each and every one of them equally. The haters just want something to say but in the end, Angelina and Brad are doing what the hell they want to do. I think the haters see this adoption as another sign that screams….”we are staying together for a long time”. Get use to it ppl!

Err…..you do know they probably started the adoption process BEFORE her mom died? Just because you’re just now finding out about it, does not mean they started it today. Heavens!
If this turns out to be true. I am happy for the Jolie-Pitt because we all know that both love children.
Thanks, Jared.
That’s a big news!! As they said before, they want children right now, because they are still young and have the energy to do that, adopting a baby is something of really great..
My mother came from a family of twelve. My best memories all come from being a member of this huge extended family. I have aunties, uncles, and over 20 first cousins. Huge families, while stressful, are great fun.
BTW, all but two of the kids went on to postsecondary education. Not bad results.

Are you including yourself in that description? Hypocrite…..
I see you did not answer my question about children….

Mr. and Mrs. Smith Says:
truthfully or you for that matter. Question?? Why did she have a bio child when she said she wouldnt? That comment made by Maria was kind of dead on, I even thought that when looking at that photo when it 1st came out.
As a mother, I would love to have more kids (I came from a huge family myself) but I really want to give all my time to my one child for now and enjoy the wonderful part of her becoming who she will be, its great. My mother says she feels bad that she missed out on a lot that when we were kids, she realizes it now watching me and my daughter. So I agree of a big family but agree too fast is too fast and as far as Heidi and all the others they are at top speed as well. Also, they are all married and have a commitment to each other not just their kids which I think is why ppl thinks iti s more acceptable .. B&A cannot make a commitment to each other they said they will do that thru their kids. I find that lame excuse. They have been together (so they say) only 2 years and have 4 kids, where is the couple time? Another reason we are waiting to have another is we know our “our time” will be even less and I love my husband and want that time with him. Why are they not interested in being a couple and not just parents?

Thanks for you relentless efforts to infuse you own personal experiences into this thread, sadly some people will never get it.

She went to Vietnam right after the GG, that’s around a week before her mother condition suddenly deteriorated .
what’s the problem of having a large family, you might not accept it but some people like it. I came from a brood of six, my husband came from a brood of 5, didn’t have any problem on it. in fact,we are all quite successful career wise.
