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!

3 Sons are a heritage from the LORD,
children a reward from him.

are sons born in one’s youth.
5 Blessed is the man
whose quiver is full of them.
They will not be put to shame
when they contend with their enemies in the gate.

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:
——————–
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.
Later, folks!
Surfs up, dudes.

Feeling like acting a lil crazy on this friday afternoon ..
Why are you here?
GO BACK TO FEMALE FIRST and spread your poisonous venom there.
That ain’t the same MARIA!!!!!!!!
Can you imagine how these few haters in disguise would act if Angelina was pregnant again. They are posting here because with each additionl child it makes it harder for them to live with their fantasies.
I guess it was inevitable that the good news and pretty pictures of the last two days were bound to bring out the haters and loonies to stir trouble.
It is going to be an interesting weekend at Jared’s.
Another adoption thread and I can see that haters are still throwing out the same arguments. Haters, since you don’t’ have the courtesy to vary your arguments or criticisms, I’m sure you won’t mind my lack of courtesy in pasting my old post from the other recent adoption thread which addresses the same arguments. It’s only fair–recycled criticisms vs. recycled rebuttals :lol:

…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.
I love you too. Now go have a great weekend!
