Angelina’s Adopted Son Coming Soon!

Tue, 13 March 2007 at 10:07 am

Angelina Jolie’s adoption application is being processed quickly and she could pick up her new 3 1/2-year-old son within a few weeks, Vietnam’s top adoption official said Tuesday.

The adoption is being processed quickly because the boy is an older child, and his files were nearly complete before Angelina decided to adopt.

The boy was abandoned at a Ho Chi Minh City hospital as a baby and is currently at the Tam Binh orphanage on the outskirts of Ho Chi Minh City.

One orphanage official said of the boy, who likes to play soccer with the other children: “He is in good health. He is a little bit shy.” The Pitt soccer team is on its way!

Angelina has two adopted children — Maddox, 5, Zahara, 2 — and one daughter with Brad Pitt — Shiloh, almost 10 months.

I’ve been researching Vietnamese given names. A lot of them seem to start with a Q (as in Quang).
Gosh… BAMZSQ

Thanks Jared!

This is such wonderful news, and I’m totally happy for them.

I must say, the orphanage official in Vietnam appears to be giving out way too much information. Reminds me of that hotel in India where they had stayed, they gave out their room number, floor, what they ate, when they exercised, etc. I guess information is easy to divulge for the right price.

This makes me sick. I have a good friend that adopted a foreign child and it took her and her husband a year and a HALF to finally get their son. Ridiculous!
%%%%%%%%%%%%

So instead of bitching about it on a message board, educate yourself and work with adoption agencies to make adoptions easier for all qualified persons. Bitching here gets you no where. Next!

Susie, please tell Coalharbor my thought and prayers are with her and her family in her time of need. I remember losing my dad just eight months after losing my younger brother — it was like having your heart and soul rifted from your body.

A correction, Jared: Angie and Brad have three children together.

IA. That bothers me it is as if the other kids are not his children and that is so far from the truth. I don’t even know why people feel the need to split the difference by saying adopted children versus a biological one with Brad. I see what Angie means by being protective of Mad and Z in a different way. The way a lot of mags write it is as if they are not his and that makes their job more difficult to constantly re-enforce that they are all loved equally.

=====================================================

Add me to the list of believing that a child is yours be they adopted or bio!

And yes, Angie was right about the way the world would treat Mad and Z. And anyone that that couldn’t understand where she was coming from was just buring their head in the sand!

DNA does NOT make a family!!!!!!

I think Brad really love kid, from Zero kid to 4 kids within 2 yrs. He must be really frustrated when his X refused to give him one while very married for that 4 1/2 yrs.

Susie, my thoughts are with Coalharbor. And I will give Jammy kisses for you!

It still kills me to see bloggers and journalists distinguishing between B&A’s “adopted” children and their “biological” children. They are all their children, end of story.

I think B&A are being so forthright with the details of this adoption because they want to avoid a Madonna-Malawi-type controversy.

On Countdown w/ KO they (the writers/KO) have referred to Mad, Z, and Shiloh as “their three children” as it should be. When there are pictures of Steven Spielberg with his kids (which is rare) the caption never says “Steven with his biological and adopted kids”

Sorry to bring this up but can someone be on the look out for that Tatiana fool. She must be chomping at the bit to open her pie hole to share her expert coughbullshitcough opinion.

Wow! Great news….can’t wait until their new addition arrives! I bet Mad will be glad to have a little brother to hang around with, and show him how to protect his cheerios from their little sisters. Angelina and Brad will have such a houseful of love!

How old was the child your friends adopted becaus ethat does make a difference? From what I understand in the People mag article Angie and Brad decided on this shortly after Shilo was born. So, the process didn’t just start when the mags found out about it, it had been an on-going process for months.

Go find your idol a job and a man and a new nose while you’re at it. The last one makes her look like the Cowardly Lion.

Amaya, I caught that Bill Maher w/ Mia Farrow and I loved her whole interview, very informative about the Sudan and Darfur - and really liked the end and what she said about Angie that you talked about - how she admired her so much, and that she was doing great things, and Bill echoed this as well. The cute part was when Bill asked her something like how she feels about Angie’s adoptions or if she feels like she’s in competition (jokingly)…and she said something cute about “Brad Pitt” - but Bill was talking over her so I missed it (Grrrr - thanks Bill, lol)…and then Mia said, “well maybe when she has her 9th child, I’ll start to feel more competitive.” The audience all laughed.

Switching gears….

I recently watched Seven again, the DVD two disc that came out in 2000-2001 I think. It is so true that in the midst of his Maniston marriage he was still bitter and angry about Paltry - because during the commentary with David Fincher when Brad’s scenes with Paltrow were on, neither he nor David said boo about the scene being shown with her, or commented on her period. Brad never said one word the entire film. I noticed David almost talked the entire way through Paltry’s scenes about other subject matter - it really felt deliberate too. That’s the kind of stuff, where if Maniston had not been a coattail riding witch who stabbed Brad and Ange in the back…I might feel a little sorry for her that she married a guy while he was so obviously on the rebound….

…but I don’t.

Heh.

keeping it real crazy, get over Brad’s failed marriage , you loser. God damn, I am thinking you feel like he cheated on your ass. Brad ran after Angie as soon as he had the chance to cut the old ball and chain off and threw it over board . . . why take it out on Angelina?

Sometimes Isabella and Connor (Tom Cruise older kids) are still called “adopted children”.

First off I don’t know your friends circumstances and whether their adoption that took a year and a half was a first time adoption. Angie is already an approved adopter. She went through well over a year of home studies etc. with Maddox. Once you have most of that done, the subsequent adoptions are easier. She and Brad started the adoption proceedings for this child almost a year ago. She didn’t have to go through the home studies, profiles, background checks etc., as they were already done. And if your friends got a child in a year and a half–that is indeed an excellent time frame since most domestic and foreign adoptions take longer.
