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!

Angelina and Brad should adopt as many kids as they want. Each one of those kids will live a wonderful, rich, and loved life. Unless on the low Brad’s a child molester [Lol] But what’s the odds of that.
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.
Why doesn’t Angie and Brad try to oh, get to know each other more instead of populating their home with kids.

Well, gee wiz, lookie what we have here. Someone projecting THEIR wishes and their parent’s wishes onto Brad and Angelina. Just because they are not married does not mean they are not in a committed relationship. If you are married, good for you be happy but don’t expect everyone to follow you. Brad and Angie are not going to get married or stop adopting to please you or your parents. Sorry.

Hey I am the 12th one too (the youngest) but two of my bros died before I can utter a word. My house was filled with laughters and of course arguments or what not, but hey arent they parts of life? yes. You learn how to deal with those things.
Anyway I am happy for the Jolie-Pitts if this is true. Not only that theyre going to help/save the child out of a poverty stricken country but theyll also raise him/her with full of love and so many more.
note to all o f us: it’s their freakin’ lives, not yours, not ours….

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?

Well, stick a fork in this thread….coz we are done. AJ has spoken, we need not carry on.
Wow! A lot of criticism of this new adoption this morning.
I think Brad and Angie can handle it. We know they’re great parents. I just wish they would get married already. It would make any future adoptions so much easier.
But I am very happy for them.
why they dont get marreied first before shes’s adopt again , its weird
angelina and brad you guys need to get married first ,,,, just for your kids pls,,,,

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.
People who rush to get married just for the hell of it, be the same people rushing to get divorced.
OK - being lazy; but I noticed it’s the same-o same-o discussion here. And I thought, why not - comment below still works!
So here is my post from the other thread!
[Come to think of it BAMZS fans, we should save ourselves the trouble and just hook up our posts from yore and pick one that applies to the overall gist that is being thrown around on the thread]
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Hey everyone!
AJ - You never disappoint; loved your breakdown!
What’s interesting, though is that my impression of these ‘questioners’ and ’skeptics’ are that they are Adults in Denial.
My goodness, my teenage brother can spot a slight difference in behavior faster than me - and, I’m pretty good usually.
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!

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.

Mr. and Mrs. Smith Says:
Why did she have a child if she had no interest in doing so? Answer that one since you seem to know everything. Oh yeah, and why they just cant be happy with what they have and each other?
if the “concerned moral majority” thought that by adopting a bunch of kids would break brad and angie up they would encourage them to adopt a damn boat load of kids - however, it’s the exact opposite - children whether they are adopted or biologicaly born bonds a couple.
question seriously i’ll answer your intelligent, my bad, i mean repetive question because it’s their damn life and not yours or your husband’s wilbur -comprehend.
in my opinion it’s way too fast to be condsidering adopting another baby.
