And as far as mass adoptions go–don’t forget Mia Farrow. Did she not adopt 9 or 10 kids and several were special needs?

If I hadn’t been slogging around in a kind of slow-motion gelatinous London membrane yesterday, I would have posted Stu Van Airsdale’s early-bird Reeler posting about some of the ‘07 Tribeca Film Festival selections. such as: (a) Angelina Jolie’s A Moment in the World, a documentary that’s most likely about her U.N.-sponsored humanitarian efforts (and is apparently her behind-the-camera debut); (b) Lucky You, the trouble-plagued, endlessly delayed Curtis Hanson gambling movie with Eric Bana, Drew Barrymore and Robert Duvall; (c) Spider-Man 3…please; and (d) the feature directing debut of Limp Bizkit’s Fred Durst

Did she not adopt 9 or 10 kids and several were special needs?
++++++++++++
yes, some of her kids have special needs.

I am beginning to think that may be the problem some are having with Jolie-Pitt adoptions is that because of the different races they are adopting. Prejudice? May be. I hope I am wrong about that. The different races of the children make this family more beautiful. They are like the flowers of one big beautiful garden. Can you imagine a garden with only one color flowers in it? Unity in diversity! Flowers of one garden! Leaves of one tree! That’s how it should be. MANKIND IS ONE AND HUMANKIND IS ONE FAMILY.

The adoption procedure takes no more than four months, says Nguyen Cong Khanh, the deputy head of the country’s International Adoption Department.

And the A-list actress won’t be given any preferential treatment.

“[Jolie] will have to follow procedure like any other American,” Vu Duc Long, head of the Ministry of Justice for Vietnam, tells Us.

Still, it’s not out of the ordinary to speed up the adoption process when celebs are involved, à la Madonna’s scandal with baby David Banda in October.

And there may be an added incentive to rush things along.

“She promised to give $2 million to the Tam Binh orphanage on the very day she receives the child,” a Vietnamese insider tells Us. Of note: The actual adoption fee is only about $125.

Jolie promised to give 2 million dollars to the orphanage when she picks him up. Yes it’s all good, however, it is highly unfair to other potential adoptive parents and that’s the bottom line.

Regarding the talk about Sharon Stone, Spielberg etc and their adoptions - yes they adopted. But they did it out of the spotlight and don’t announce their every move to the media of where their going and when. Jolie appears to be addicted to the spotlight and can’t seem to make a move without announcing everything. I think it’s a good thing to adopt however you look at it but with Jolie…She appears to be incredibly insecure and has a need to try to get rid of that insecurity with things outside herself. Her UN visits are the same. THere are many UNHCR ambassadors who don’t crave the spotlight like Jolie - anyone who is there knows that Jolie simply shows up in a foreign country for the UN and gets photographed for a couple days and then goes back to her 5 star hotel, 5 nannies and goes back to her millions and SUV’s. I know when no one is around to take their picture - like when they were in Paris, they don’t like it and will alert the media as to their whereabouts. Pitt and Jolie purposely made a ruckus to get noticed in a restaurant in Paris, as they had gone unnoticed - they simply had no photographers around and were not enjoying life without the cameras around. Sure enough, photographers showed up just as they were leaving the restaurant to snap their picture.

OMG, I’m so excited for the family! :) :) :)

Guli-

Good Morning We’re leaving on Sunday March 25th. I can’t wait!
I understand you’re leaving for Turkey on April 8th. That’s Aron’s 18th birthday ( Aries). This place won’t be the same without you. I hope you can continue to post from Bodrum.

I feel sorry for you, so full of hate. I hope you find somebody that will give you some much needed love and will help you get over whatever torments you (that goes for all of your personas) God bless you and remember there are always much better ways to get some attention.

It is amazing how hate and jealousy can shape peoples opinions. Stone and Speilberg did not have the paps following their every move when they adopted. In fact you can’t compare Brad and Angie in terms of fame/spotlight to those individuals. Why would use information from a TABLOID (ex 2 million rumor) and base your opinion on that. Is US weekly 100% the truth. You are truly an *******, UN Goodwill peeps are suppose to bring the spotlight with them wherever they go. Did Aniston alert the media when she travels or when she landed at lax or had her birthday party? Why the double standard? Jealousy is a *****. You are just pissed of that Brad and Angie are living the life, that a certain someone CLAIMED they wanted & and it seems still has not gotten.

Medi- I’ve got tears too. This is so wonderful. Vietnam will certainly get the same boosr Ethiopia got in adoptions.

Guli- are you going to B&N today?

** Is this the child they are adopting? This child is only about
1 1/2-2 but wonder if it’s him.

I like the pic of Brad and Angie both in black. Does anyone know where that was taken? They are such a goodlooking couple!
=====================================================

The pic is from January 11th or so when Brad and Angie when to support ‘God Grew Tired of Us’ in which Brad help co-prod in the funding department.
