Introducing… Pax Thien Jolie-Pitt

GOD bless the Jolie-Pitts.

Another child comes home.

Well congrats to her family.

Congratulations Pax. God bless the Jolie-Pitts.

testing

PAX is Latin which means “Peace’

Surprisingly a beautiful child. Perfect for their People’s Magazine “Most Beautiful Family” lame.

I just posted this on the other thread.
Pax= peace
Shiloh= peaceful one

Beautiful name for a beautiful child.

Congrats and best wishes to Pax and the whole family!!! :)

Welcome to your new life Pax Thien Jolie-Pitt.

On a sidenote: Its gonna be really funny if his name turns out to be Joe. :lol:

Wonderful news!
So now is it BAMZSP? or chronological by ages BAMPZS?
The second one is easier to say BAMPZS…

Which one will it be?

This is wonderful. Congratulations, Jolie-Pitts!

So what is it now, BAMZSP???? :) Angie and Brad we need more vowels LOL!!!

So, she’s just going to change his name at 3 years old. Won’t he have enough changes already? If you were born John and at 3 someone started calling you Brad, it would be confusing!

info from souliejolie-

He’s 3 years and 4 months old (November or December birthday?) He likes eating spaghetti and yogurt. He has learned some English (counting from 1-10 and greeting).

He is just about 1 year older than Zee. My god, 4 children five and younger- 5, 3, 2, and 10 months. WOW!! And Angelina has said just this week that she wants even more children.

I’m surprised it’s Pax really. I figured it would be 5 letters like the other kids. So Pax’s name would be Jolie-Pitt or Jolie to start with? Seems kind of strange to adopt him and then change his last name twice. I don’t exactly know about the name change and how it works. Anyway, congrats to them. I do kind of wish Brad was more of a part of it though. Before anyone complains, I know he’s a big part of it and will be the kids father, but I wish he could be there from the start and at the ceremony and singing of the adoption. Any word if he actually in the country or not? Some people are saying no, some are saying yes. I know some reports say just Maddox and some are saying all the kids.

I think the second one works best….. BAMPZS!

her new kid is an alien or whatever kevin spacy was in that movie K-PAX lol
In an event wish them the best but it could have been a better name.

A lot of thinking and caring seem to go into naming Jolie-Pitt children. I just love to be the fly on the wall of Jolie-Pitt household choosing these names LOL!!

Maddox named him Pax!! Hehehe

Hey thank you for asking. Not yet. I tried last night, but my brain was scrambled. Today I was really busy. Guli, you must understand I just learned how to copy the name of the person from a previous post to my comment post. Challenge does not do justice to my lack of computer skills.

Are you leaving again? If so where to, and for how long. Where is, I think this how she spells her name, Mailabaumm, and OJP, Sweetpea? There are a couple of others who use to post often, but stopped when we became over run with haters. I will try tomorrow to see if You tube can help me.

Thanks for asking. Peace.

Go & sleep needsomesleep…you bore me to death.

What a sweetheart! I can say for sure that he’s a very lucky boy =)
As for the name, I am sure that he’ll love his new name Pax, it’s not like she changes the whole origin of the name (like Madonna did - ‘David’, I mean what is that ?!!) Angie ALWAYS gives her children names that mean something!! God bless her and Brad and the kids.

He’s cute. Now he just needs a faux mohawk and a soccer ball and he’s set.

BAMPZS!!! I LOVE IT!!!!

I do think the new name is cool…and I am not trying to be a “hater” but I agree with those about changing the name of a 3 year old….at 3 years old….you KNOW your name. And while I agree that she puts a lot of thought into the names of the kids and the names are certainly interesting and meaningful and she tries to keep it within the heritage of the child…so? Should her desire to name them something “meaningful” and interesting make more sense or be more important than the kid keeping his name at 3 years old? Maddox and Zahara were too young to really have that concept ingrained…so it wasn’t a big deal. Should she have changed Brad’s name when they got together? His name is pretty dull and it doesn’t really mean much of anything…And… her name is sort of uncommon and it’s pretty….but does it “mean” anything?

wonderfut news,nice name.may God continue to bless this family

Uh, “Thien” only means “good and kind” but not “heaven” nor “quieting” nor “bright”. All these words have the same letters but different accents.

awww soo cute!

49. christy=> Angelina means “little angel” and “Jolie” is french for nice or pretty. I think her name does mean something as everybody else’s. Pax sounds ok for me, it seems like Angie loves boys names with X endings, but it is for the more meaningful combined with “good or kind”. Quite creative this hot mamma!

Love the name-cute kid-I came up with ZB-MAPS

Wow! I go to bed, get up this morning, and there are three new threads introducing the cutest little boy Pax. He is beautiful. I like his name and the meaning of his name. I am very happy for the Jolie-Pitts family.
Mad & Pax! They will be brothers and friends for life.
Congratulations to Brad, Angie, Mad, Pax, Zee, and Shi. Now what do we call the family for short? BAMZSP? or BAMPZS?

Happy Birthday to Cliniqua!

This is from her Elle interview:

“Madd and I talk about him being adopted, and he’s got some opinions about his brothers and sisters to come.” Maddox has already named the next addition to the family. ‘Last night I said to Brad, “If this becomes a reality, are we really thinking of that name?” He said, “Yes I think we have to!”

OK, maybe in Vietnamese the names Phang and Pax sound alike….any thoughts on that? experts out there speaking Vietnamese?

might make the transition to a new name easier for the 3 year old.

I am a fan, what can you do. On the other hand you are a hater, a CLOSET fan. That’s pathetic posting and hating away LOL!!

I hope he will feel at home very soon. How big must Angies Love for Mad be, that she adopts a boy in this age. What a loving Mother.

From only one picture that I’m able to see, looks like the boy is going to up to be a handsome Asian-looking man. He seems to be a contrast to Mad. Mad is cute, but this one, BASED ON THE ONE PICTURE I CAN SEE, seems to be pretty mature. I hope they keep his hair style, thought. :) Or I hope Mad will come to like his brother’s haircut. :)

The topic of changing your adopted child’s name is a much talked about and at times heated discussion on adoption forums and groups. It’s an issue that will always be a hot topic and cause adoptive parents to second guess their instincts and question whether or not they are doing the best thing for their child.

I feel that it is a personal decision that certainly deserves a good amount of thought and consideration. In an older child adoption, the child may feel strongly attached to his name, or he may want a fresh start with a new name. I believe that the majority of adoptive parents do choose to change their child’s name, but we need to bear in mind that the majority of adoptions are of infants. Many feel that it is their right as parents to pass on a family name or choose their own name for their new child.

When I was pregnant with Cole, my husband and I had a list of girl names because we didn’t know the sex of the baby. When we started the adoption process and had requested a girl, none of those names worked anymore. We eventually came up with a very short list (and Ella wasn’t on it!)

We felt torn about the decision of whether or not to change our baby’s name when we got her. So we decided to hold off on any decision making until after we received her referral.

I can’t tell you exactly why we decided to name her our own name, but it just came down to feeling right. Her Vietnamese name (Cuc) is beautiful-it means chrysanthemum, and that is her first middle name. Her second middle name; Ruth, was my sweet Grammy’s middle name. Ella just came to me one day and I said “that’s it!” I shared with my husband and he whole heartedly agreed.

We kept her name a secret from all but my best friend, and it wasn’t revealed until after we had boarded the plane for Bangkok. Later that day that we left, my mom came to our house to take care of the cats and I had hung up the canvases I had painted that spelled out her name in her room. It was a wonderful surprise! We all thought we’d never be able to stop calling her Cuc, since that’s how we knew her for so long, but it hasn’t been an issue :) Even when someone does call her Cuc, we smile, because that’s her name too.

Why would she change the name of a three year old? Isn’t he old enough to know his name? I think thats pretty stupid.

It must be heartbreaking having to turn your back on all these kids in all these places, some more desparate than others. I guess that’s been part of her learning experience; something like, ‘you can’t save the whole world, but you can save a little bit of it’. No wonder she cried alot during the first couple years.

Maybe by changing his name she wants to signify that his life from here on will be a new, better life. I see nothing wrong with it. I like the new name now that I know what Pax means. Thien is a good name. A peaceful sky is bright and essentially that’s what his Vietnamese name ‘Quang Sa’ng’ alludes to. After the rain, the dark clouds are gone and the sun is out, the Vietnameses say ‘tro+`i quang’ (the sky is clear / bright). And when darkness is gone we say ’sa’ng ro^`i’ (there’s light). All in all, there is nothing to make of the changing of the name. His was not truly his any way since he was abandoned. A child can adapt quickly, especially when there are kids his age, even more so when there is one his gender. By next month I’m sure he’ll know enough English to let his new family know he’s hungry, thirsty, needs to go pee, and so on. A child born into a harsh world isn’t like one born into a country with massive welfare and social programs such as America. He or she will be just fine in the new environment.

Angie did make an effort to learn some Vietnamese phrases so she can comfort the boy. That is commendable.

I am just happy that she decided to adopt a Vietnamese boy. He is now saved from a life without education, on the hard streets of Saigon where he could be tricked into prostituting himself to survive. He will have education, dreams and very possibly have at least one of his dream fulfilled.

At this moment Jennifer is crying she’s been devastated by the new adoption. She can’t eat and sleep well I know she has many fans I provide the news for you in case you didn’t hear that. BAD NEWS FOR IDOL

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

When that boy grow-up, just like Mad, Zee, He ‘ll know how lucky he is and will always respect, love and grateful to both his parents -Brad and Angie.

Angelina Jolie is a proud new mom once again, now that her adoption of a 3-year-old Vietnamese boy is official, Jolie’s rep tells PEOPLE exclusively.

The boy’s name is Pax Thien Jolie, born in November 2003, according to the orphanage where he has lived. His name means Peaceful Sky – Pax is peace in Latin and Thien is sky in Vietnamese.

Jolie’s rep says she took custody of the child on Thursday in Vietnam. They will remain in the country for about a week while the child’s American passport is processed, the rep says.

The boy had been living at the Tam Binh orphanage outside Ho Chi Minh City ever since he was abandoned at a hospital as a baby, according to adoption officials. Shortly after he arrived at the facility, staff attempted to locate his birth parents, but to no avail.

Jolie went to the orphanage Thursday morning with her 5-year-old son Maddox, whom she adopted in Cambodia in 2002. Jolie’s companion Brad Pitt did not accompany them to Vietnam.

“Brad very much wanted to be there but is under contract working on a film in Los Angeles and as a result couldn’t go,” Trevor Neilson, Jolie’s adviser on international affairs, tells PEOPLE.

About two dozen children in traditional ao dai formal garb greeted them and offered flowers at the orphanage. Jolie left carrying the boy to a waiting van.

“He is in good health,” orphanage director Nguyen Van Trung told the Associated Press, adding that the boy gets along with the other children and likes playing soccer. “He is a little bit shy.”

Trung also said Jolie’s adoption was swiftly processed because the boy is older and his files were already nearly complete.

Because Vietnamese law makes it difficult for unmarried couples to adopt, Jolie applied solo – but she and Pitt together will welcome their new Vietnamese child to their family, which along with Maddox includes Zahara, 2, and 10-month-old Shiloh. The adoption was a “process that began shortly after Shiloh was born [in May],” a source told PEOPLE in a recent cover story.

As for why Vietnam was selected in the first place, Jolie has traveled extensively in Southeast Asia and has visited the country at least twice – including, with Pitt, last Thanksgiving.

After adopting Maddox from Cambodia and Zahara from Ethiopia, she mused to Good Morning America in December that it might be a good idea to “balance the races so there’s another African person in the house for Z [and] another Asian person in the house for Mad.”

THANK YOU FOR SHARING THAT. That was very sweet and so true. People should stop nit picking and look at the larger scale of things. As long the child is safe and happy I don;t think he will mind his name change. Sure there is going to be a time of adjusting for everyone involve but that’s life and kids should learn that no matter the age. He is still too young to really be attached to a name. I still call me kids by their nick names and they are well adjusted kids. Maybe Angie will call him LOVE or HONEY for a while, while they are all adjusting. Who cares what she names him as long as he is loved.

Oh ya. I forgot to say thank you to JAred and his hard working team :)

I can’t get over how cute they are and 3 is a fun age . I guess for peeps who love kids 4 would be fun … I can’t even imagine having 1. So, Angie took all her kids to meet their new bro?

What a show-off. Poor kid, now he has to learn his new name, new language, new life all at once. Of course the kid is cute. She will never pick up an ugly kid, because won’t look good at the cover of Vanity Fair. Do you guys wonder why she never kisses or hug Shiloh ? it always Mad and Z, I think she is not over the fact that the beautiful child is a lot more than she deserve. She was not a good daughter to her daddy how suddenly she can be a role model for this rainbow kids. Just sucks. I hope that one day Brad takes off with Shiloh and leave the United Nationbs behind. She only does this for the publicity. Mia Farrow adopted challenged kids and nobody take one photo of her or her kids. Enough of Jolie.

You aren’t aware that the child was unseen by his new parents prior his him being chosen? The orphanage did the choosing, and it was based on the requested and quite limited criteria Angelina put forward “just like with Zahara.”

As for Brad packing up Shiloh and hightailing it away from her mom and sib’s, just what would be the reason Brad would do that and leave the rest behind? Brad Pitt said in the Esquire magazine interview that there was no difference between the adopted or the bio kids, and that blood was blood. He states that he couldn’t live without them and recommends adoption to anyone. He said on camera when he was at a Babel premiere and Ang & kids were at a nearby hotel that he believes in keeping the brood together. He said before that when he left them in India while coming to Cali for a premiere that he couldn’t wait to get back to his peeps, and quote “I miss my family!”.

attn Regina…….

You are entitled to your opinions on any subject, but it really only can help an argument when even a little research is done before sharing what you think on a subject, and research really helps when like you did, said stuff as if it were grounded in some truth when in TRUTH, there is no merit to anything you have said.

You know, nobody ever seems to remember that these munchkins grow up. She’s gonna have four (or more) rich, beautiful teenagers of assorted gender in her house at one time. Let us pray for their family.

Changing a 3 1/2 year old’s name is not a good idea and is strongly discouraged by adoption agencies and child psychologists. Why does Angelina Jolie say how important it is for her adopted children to know about their homeland and where they came from, and then go ahead and take their names away?

I guess this comment makes me a “hater” and a “faniston”, huh? I guess all those child experts must be fanistons too.

i think its great that they have adopted but i dont get the name change?

291/sophie: No Pham & Pax do not sound alike… Pham is one of the Vietnamese surname… In Viet Nam, his full name is Pham Quang Sang which has lovely meaning… It’s understandable that Angelina gave him new names… Pax Thien sounds nice & has lovely meaning… Vietnamese names & meaning can be tricky to translate depending on the placement of accents. Ex: Thiện, Thiên, Thiền, Thiền, Thiễn, Thiêۥn
Those names all have different meaning… Vietnamese has 6 different tones… and they change the meaning of words… The subtle differences in tones often pose a problem for a foreign learner of Vietnamese…
I wish all parties the very best… I feel sad knowing he cried, confused, was/is frightened by what has transpired in recent days… I have a beautiful niece his age… She is sharp, has a sense of self, identity, understands her surroundings, knows the concepts of attachement, love, dislike, etc… She loves her grandma but she would always say “no” when asked to stay overnight with grandma… she can’t fathom the thought of not being with her parents… This boy is lucky to be adopted by a very good mom & loving family but it is a trying time for him… being uprooted, removed from other kids, his caretakers, his familiarity, his comfort zone at a tender age of 3… my heart aches a bit… i hope he’s coping well and won’t be pereceived as a problem-child… Have compassion & patience for this child…

THANK YOU!!!!!!

Acutally most specialists say it is up to the situation and the family. There is no agreement as to what is best. As is most things when it comes to raising a child. If there was an clear understanding that changing the name would harm the child then it would most likely be part of the adoption policy that a child’s name after a certain age can’t be changed.

Hey all. I just watched “The Most” w/ Alison Stewart on MSNBC and she briefly talked about the adoption saying the pic of Angie and Maddox in the car is the most e-mailed pic of the day on yahoo. She called Mad a “cute little guy” :) But damn it, she left out Zahara when she named Brad and Angie’s other kids! Come on, Alison!

I meant BAMPZS–Shiloh last. It makes sense with the ages of the kids as well, oldest to youngest. Very cute.

Welcome Pax!

TOMANYKIDS: You sure are spending lots of time jumping threads and commenting about someone you don’t like. Can you imagine how productive you could be if you actually put this same amount of time into a project that you did like? Are you the victim of a lobotomy as well? Go grab a life, sweetie. Yours seems to suck.

kip, of course I must be a “hater”. Whenever somebody questions the actions of another person, it’s because they hate them. Right?

JIMINYC:
Surely that doesn’t matter to woman-of-the-world, lover-of-all-cultures Angelina Jolie? The woman must have to do mental gymnastics to accommodate all of her conflicting belefs/lies.
*********************************************************************
That is why you are being called a hater.

what is the problem of changing the name of the boy? he’s only 4 yrs old, he’ll get used 2 his new name in no time, duh? n also, am sure he don’t speak english again he’s 4 yrs old he can speak/learn 2 speak english in no time after that he’ll probably 4get the language that he used 2 speak wanna bet?

Again, changing a name beats the hell out of life on the street as a homeless child.

I will go with ~~ BAMZSP~~

I like the name Pax.. I love the meaning as well. It is a vietnamese name and not a “designer name”. Most likely for now he will be called the vietnamese version of sweetie or honey or some kind of endearment. Three is still young and he will adapt very well since he has such loving and thoughtful parents. I know two adoptive families who changed their kid’s names to american names so the children would fit in. One child was almost 5 years old. Also, I would think it could be very hard on the child if he was still called Sang in this country. He might be made fun of and teased. Angie and Brad are doing what is best for their son. I am very happy for them all.

Pham is not a practical name coming to America. Some kids might tease him as a girl (Pam). Pham to Pax, I am sure Angie and Brad thought about the name diligently and Pax suits him best.
Why can’t you just be happy for them. Picky, picky!

ROTLMAO! Someone has some serious anger issues.

Like I said they will most likely still call him pham or sang (what was his name) as well as pax through out the years. I don’t see a big deal … he was just blessed with many names. that’s all.

TOMANYKIDS: Nice sewer of a mouth. Go drink some bleach and clean that thing out, will ya? Again, why not go do something you like? You are a freak of nature for spending all your time here. If it is just to stir the pot, I imagine Pax is more mature than you.

OK. I knew it. They are coming out of the woodwork, screaming that Angelina and Brad are over, that Angelina was selfish in this adoption, Brad does not want this child, Angelina has left Brad with the children, Brad has bailed because four children are just too much, etc.

Brad has a $150 million film riding on his back. The Vietnam officials sped up this adoption, the child was not to be available until April. Neither Brad nor Angelina were making a film when Zee was adopted. They had all their time free to do as they wished. The circumstances were different. Now Angelina has no work obligations at this time, her schedule is free. So she could go and get Pax at anytime, whenever the Vietnam officials notified them that Pax was available. Brad has to be very disappointed that he was not able to accompany Angelina to Vietnam at this time. He has been nothing but a loving father and partner to Angelina. What I just cannot understand is that some express giddy happiness that Brad is not in Vietnam, that this means that Angelina and Brad are through. Now how can one make an accurate interpretation of the status of a relationship based on one event, rather than on a patttern of events? There are now FOUR small children involved, how can some be so heartless, so callous, as to wish for the breakup of this family? Well, no surprise, that these foul individuals are spewing hate filled diatribes. Why would their behavior approach any rationality at this time? It hasn’t at any other time, and sadly, it appears that it never will. Irrational people stay irrational people.

Let’s see JGarner is filming in Canada. She has been there for a month. BenA is in LA, went up to visit last weekend, is back in LA. Are they breaking up because he is in LA and she is under contract filming in Canada?

Here’s wishing the best for all in this family. Pax has become a member of a loving family. Love his name.

Such a great post!!

As I have said I don’t give a flying **** of what haters say. They have been spewing the same amount of pure hate for tow years and nothing has changed. And they obviously have their own agenda hating on the Jolie-Pitts on everything they do so I’m not expecting any improvement from them.

What baffles me though judging for what “sad” posted on the other thread is that some “fans” have a completely unrealistic image of this family and they have putted Brad and Angie to live up to some specific standards and when they don’t follow their “laws” then something is wrong. Or they are just letting the haters to get under their skin.

We are talking about real grown people here with many experiences on their backs with real lives to live that may not always seem idealistic to some. They are not tow characters of a fairytale that you are reading to entertain your self. They know how their life is and how they can handle every situation they are going through and how they will operate in every case way much better than us here or anyone else out there.

Just because some of us here may had done something different in the same situation doesn’t mean that we are right and they are wrong. Maybe it’s exactly the opposite. So if you don’t agree with something fine. They are not obligated to follow anyone’s path but theirs. And if you indeed admire them about what they represent just stop projecting and accept them as they are.

All these talk about changing the name is silly. Orientals oftentimes don’t even use their formal names that much. They always get nicknames and petnames when they’re young. It’s only when they grow a little older that they may think that’s become childish so they go with a name that they think sounds more like them. It’s like little Bobby (or Booboo) could ask to be called Bob or Robert just because they want to be taken as more mature.

It is a common practice too for Asians to change their names to a more western one when they come here to the US. Mostly because they want to blend or because they think their names will be hard for the westerners to pronounce. When you become a citizen here, they ask you if you’d like to keep your name or change it. I know a lot of people who did go for that deal.

People from the entertainment industry do it all the time. They change their names to suit their personality or to be more memorable. What’s the big deal???

This is from her Elle interview:

“Madd and I talk about him being adopted, and he’s got some opinions about his brothers and sisters to come.” Maddox has already named the next addition to the family. ‘Last night I said to Brad, “If this becomes a reality, are we really thinking of that name?” He said, “Yes I think we have to!”

I love this Brad is so accomodating to his children. “I think we have to”, that is so cute.

——————–

Hee. Brad is so cute. I can almost hear him saying that, in his very ‘Brad-like’ way. lol :-)

Awww - thanks for all the b-day wishes again guys! :-) You rock!

Amaya, I can’t wait to hear what Jon and Stephen will have to say about dude that’s confessing to everything under the sun terrorism related and otherwise — this guy will be confessing to the Kennedy Assassination next…!! It seems like such a crock to me - a way for Bush to say, see who we nabbed so long ago, and he’s responsible for everything under the sun too, including Global Warming (take THAT Al Gore!) - bwaha!! I think it’s all manufactured B.S. - but I can’t wait to hear the Daily Show take. :-)

I guess Ray Ray and Shaquan have to wait a little longer as wealthy Americans run out of the country once again to adopt Xiang Lee or Carlita when there are thousands of children mostly children of color (who obviously no one wants) right here who need to be adopted.

Most of the posters claiming concern for the child having his name changed! are just using this as an excuse to rag on Angie and Brad. This is a very common thing for adoptees from foreign countries where their name might be a source of ridicule or teasing. If his name was Hung would people not thing it would be merciful for him to change it? Children can be cruel. Mia Farrow’s son is named Moses… Im sure that is not a Vietnamese name.

=====================================================
ICAM!!!

And yes, children can be really cruel to others be in about their name, looks, or whatever.

Of course it was okay for Mia to name her child(ren) anything she wanted. Afterall she isn’t Angie and no double standard applies.

I just roll my eyes at all this fake concern about a name change. When none of the loser even gave a darn that about the child and his life before Angie can on the scene.

Heehee - I wanna see that again….I saw that other clip of yours that you posted too Amaya — thanks!! Loved it…Stephen is so into some Angie…that b* Monica Crowley thought she was getting a dig in with her comment about ‘Angelina Jolie as Supreme Court nominee,’ — the great and cool part was, NO ONE in the audience laughed…it was like they actually DID take it seriously — hahaha…I think her joke would have worked better if she had substituted Lindsey Lohan or something. LOL …and the ‘loveless relationship’ crack from Stephen about Brad & maniston? well I’ll just love him forever for that ALONE. I think he was actually telling the truth when he said he’s got friends ‘in the know.’ Muahahaha!

i am on the other thread,i guess it is the same

Welcome little Pax.I know that you are leaving your country,the people who took care of you the three years of your life and some good friends,but from now on you will enjoy the love and affection of two caring parents,the company of three adorable kids and the safety of a warm home.And you will always have the best wishes from thousands of people that love your family,the BAMPZS if you have heard of them.You’ll never be alone again!

Lets ignore the haters or at least make fun of them. But don’t have a conversation with them. Some are just to dumb to understand no matter how hard you try.

None of your business.

JULES: What will you ***** about next?

What the haters are probably grousing about is the fact that this child and all the Jolie-Pitt children are all going to be millionaires when the time comes. It’s like hitting the lottery when you become adapted not only by the J-P’s but by every rich celeb or non-celeb there is.

These kids will get all the perks and privileges that come with the territory while their kids will be moaning about the unfairness of it all. They will be asking how come they were born with parents who do nothing but moan and b..tch about their lot in life instead of going out there and trying to make something out of themselves.

Too many kids, yes…for you haters who can’t afford it. For the J-P’s it’s fine…there’s still plenty to go around! And that’s what’s got your spleens exploding with hate and envy!!

I don’t understand why people are so critical of AJ? The name thing is a personal choice and I’m sure they’ve thought it out thoroughly.

My sister (and the rest of us kids) thought her name was Sandy until they started calling her by real name in Kindergarten. I know of other kids where this happens as well where a child uses a nickname for the first few years then gets a ‘new’ name when they start school. Unless the child has been horribly traumatized in the past, he’ll do fine. Kids are very adaptable. A lot more than adults and lot more than we give them credit for.

And what’s up with the concern over Shiloh and her being surrounded by the United Nations? You HATERS can’t understand why a couple capbable of making blond haired, blue-eyed children would want to parent children of color. That just shows you how much the Jolie-Pitts (and a lot of other families) are above YOU. All of the Jolie kids are beautiful and well loved. A white child with blonde hair and blue eyes isn’t any more valuable and lovable than Asian, African, and Indian children. If you think so keep your Aryan, Nazi superiority complex to yourselves.

I hope they adopt a lot more children of color.

toomany kids if u think its wrong, call angie don’t rant here on the blog site , she’s not reading it………even though u are a tool…but plss… go call her about ur foolish accusation, ur opinion won’t matter here.

jules, are u a priest , judge or minister? or devil’s advocate? , why u are telling it here,call brad and angie, its ur opinion but these people in the blog are angie or brad’s relative? they only way they, u might hv to call them, since those people hv a busy life than reading or knowing theres a blog for them.

Lalo, thanks for your contribution. Most immigrants have to undergo name change to fit into the new countries. Not a big deal! Angelina has travelled vastly and people with open minds can learn a lot from her experience.

Yes but according to People and Times mag they are not. Some reports also said that Brad is with her but he is not. So nobody really knows.

I really think that only Maddox and Angie are there.

Wow Angelina is soooo selfish? She actually changed her shoes this morning and low and behold, she had the nerve to change her clothes! From the look on the kids face you can tell he is soo upset because his name has been changed. In fact Shiloh and Z are upset too because Angelina let Mad choose the name. Shiloh was going for Little Bunny FooFoo and Z wanted to call him triple X. They are at home now crying their eyes out while they shop on Ebay for designer diapers and bracelets! And you know what else, the little boy will be devastated because he will have to learn English! Why won’t Angie learn Vietnamese and then they can understand each other?
It would have been better if Brad and Angie let _ and CCX pick the name because after all he owes them something- Especially Jen because he should have stayed with her until he was put in a straight jacket and padded room-You haters are beyond mentally ill-you are plain pathetic

Angelina Jolie brought home her fourth child on Thursday from the Vietnam orphanage where he has lived since 2003.

According to Reuters, Jolie arrived at the Tam Bihn orphanage outside Ho Chi Minh City with her 5-year-old son Maddox and the pair were greeted by roughly 20 children dressed in traditional Vietnamese tunics, and offering flowers.

Before leaving with her new son, Pax Thien Jolie, the actress left a message in the orphanage visitor’s book.

“Thank you for taking such wonderful care of my son,” she wrote. “He has been with you for years. I’m sure he will miss your beautiful caring staff as much as you will miss him.”

The three-and-a-half-year-old boy was known at the orphanage as Pham Quang Sang before Jolie renamed him.

According to the orphanage’s director, Nguyen Van Trung, “He’s the smartest and cleverest among the kids.”

“I was a bit worried in the morning,” Trung admitted to Us. “When Sang saw Jolie and two of her big bodyguards, he moved back and cried. Jolie kneeled down and gradually went closer to him. It took about 20 minutes for her to reach him.”

He added that “after Jolie made acquaintance with him, he cheered up and trusted her right away.”

Maddox also attempted to soothe the child by holding his hand. Trung says that while Sang was crying as he was carried into the car, having Maddox on hand was a relief.

“It’s lucky to have the presence of her other son [Maddox] who was very friendly to Sang,” Trung tells Us

Angelina left the boy’s fraternal twin brother at the orphanage. He is standing Next to PAX dressed in a blue matching outfit. Sources say the workers att he Orphanage dressed them alike with hopes that she would changed her mind and take both of them. The looks on their faces tell the complete story.

Can’t you just see this in L&S next week

Nice. The leave the girls in the hotel room by themselves. Someone needs to give those kids to Jen quickly.

Jen would roll those kids up like a joint and smoke ‘em!

queen bee you are a racist ignorant fool. a child in need from anywhere on earth should be helped not just from here. your fake concern for children here fools no one, it was just your way to show your racist ass attitude.

The reason so many are picking on the name change issue of this adoption is because they can’t find anything else in this glorious news. Now they “too many children”? LOL!!!! That person is so out of the loop in regards to Brad & Angelina’s wishes for a large family. I can easily see three more children in that family. I must agree with something mentioned on other Brad & Angelina forums; I agree that Brad will be a better father to his children than Jon Voight was to his.

Pax Thien. I love the name though. and i love the fact it has beautiful meaning. Angie n Brad never failed in giving beautiful name to their children. btw, I vote for BAMPZS for no reason :)

Wouldn’t it be much easier for her just to give the orphanages millions and promote adoptions through all her wealthy friends by having Hollywood donation parties and stuff like that?

Looks cute. I just hope Jolie does it with good and pure intentions. May seem as a toy collection for rich and famous

oh you wish ….Sam.

regina what are you like a 5th grader? i hope that an adult wouldn’t hope that a man would take on of his children and leave the others behind. get a hobby and try to be productive.

OH PLEASE: I guess this is when it starts getting entertaining. When she starts a dialogue with herself. How pathetic and needy.

WHY DO ORPHANGE OFFICALS HAVE TO GIVE OUT SO MUCH DETAILS before the child is safely away from the orphanage? This orphanage director is speaking all the way from Aouth Africa (that’s how much he likes to run his mouth) giving details about breakfast to which hotel in the city Angie and the kids will be spending the weekend?

She probably has a Vietamese person there translating and helping them all to adjust. this is bonding time. Not to be able to take a walk in the grounds with the kids for fear of the paps is realy a shame.

Angie travelled from Japan to Vietnam in a private jet. Before she arrived, he announced that she was coming. That gave all the papps time to converge. Noone would probably have know they were in Vietnam, had it not been for this man seeking to advertise his orphanage. I know he needs to get funding and more adoptions, but he is helping to jeopardizie their safety, with people throwing things under the vehicle to stall it and prevent it from moving.

I could have waited for the news and the pix until after the child arrived in the States and met his new family.

http://www.news4jax.com/entertainment/11260195/detail.html

I am finding it REALLY hard to believe Zahara was born Tena Adam.

Such an English/American name for a girl born in an Ethiopian orphanage.

I would think something more Amharik (sp) - the Ethiopian language.

Anyone know her true birth name?

PS: Like Marcheline Betrand did for her kids, the Jolie-Pitts are giving their kids middle names that can be used as last names in the future in case they don’t want the so public and visible last names of Jolie-Pitt in the future - makes sense.

Although Marley will be as equally well recognized……

Lol, I feel like I’m the one that just adopted!! Very exciting. Congrats to BAMPZS (love it!)!!!!! Pax is a cutie, and a very lucky little boy. Hope he adjusts quickly, though I’m sure Mad will make him feel at home in no time :)

On the question of language I have noticed 2 things: Immigrants living in a new country keep their accents regardless of how long after they live in their adopted country if they arrive sometime in their 20’s, and, as long as you are no older than a teenager you WILL learn the language of your adopted country no worse than someone being born there. I met a Danish guy in Europe who once lived a year in Michigan when he was 17 and he spoke exactly as if he had allways lived there. I wonder if the media will follow these kids’ lives into their teen and adult years. I am curious how they turn out. I wish only the best for their family but while they have a lot going for them they also have some things going agaisnt them. When I see someone like Barrack Obama as the new face of our society I feel high hopes for this family.

Honey, Jennifer can’t think of anything worse than 4 kids under 5 from different countries. I am sure that she thinks that Brad is crazy now and so happy that he didn’t force her into this kind of life. All these kids and then moving from home to home following him around on movie sets. No place to call home, Jennifer would hate that. That is why she filled for divorce. I am so thankful as a fan that she didn’t get caught in this trap. She understands that work is more important to Brad than family I am sure that is why she never had children with him. And he is showing that so obviously now with Angie having to go by herself to their child. He fooled angie for a little while. But I am sure that she understands how important work is right now as things are going quite badly in the moive business for him.

Brad’s career is slipping. angie’s last film did not do well. In fact terrible. I am sure he is worried about AMH. His Jesse James is not getting released. It was filmed at the same time as TGS and no date yet. God grew tired of us did very badly, making next to nothing, even though they both attended the lauch of the film. Of course Oceans will do well becuase of George and Matt. Babel only had 33 million in the US very poor for an Oscar film. Even with Brad and nominated for an Oscar really poor money. I realize that he is concerned, but don’t you think that he could at least go to pick up and welcome this new member. Obviously business is more important to him. But that’s OK he makes sure that he is always with the most important member of his family. His real child. Won’t see him leaving her much. He always seems to be where she is.

jennifer is living a good life with friends and business. Staying out the limelight. And believe me she is laughing at this circus along with all her friends. They will all be making fun of Brad and what a mess he is in. the tabloids might play this up but inside hollywood they will be making fun of this couple you can bet.

should we start guessing where the next child will come from. I say Africa so Z has someone to look at! Now think that Brad might make it to pick this one up or is Angie going it all alone again? Only time will tell. I think that you guys should start guessing now though don’t you!

ROTFLMAO! Sam, now watch, max will follow with I totally agree with you. Just make sure to watch that you change your name before you agree with yourself.

Oh, sam does it hurt when you fall on your lofty sword so many times. Does it? Nothing you have hoped for has come to pass. Nothing. And yet, here you are with the same drivel. Does it hurt to be so stupid? Does it?

Aniston is a speck now and you know it. I smell the whiff of desperation.

Has anyone seen Guli? I would love to hear what the mayor thinks about the new acronym. So far BAMPZS seems to be the favorite.

A friend of mine adopted a three-year-old boy in Latin America, the boy’s name was Jesus. That name is very common in Latin America, but since the child was going to live in Germany and the States, they decided to change his name. They didn’t want the boy getting teased at school. Can you imagine? “Here comes the Messiah, the savior!”. The boy is now a teenager and doing great, he no longer speaks Spanish but is fluent in German and English.
The first couple of months were hard, especially because of the language and how different the food was. But little kids at that age can adapt quickly and be very happy in their new homes with their new families.

*******************************************
ITAWY. The head of the orphanage is still talking. I know he enjoys the attention and it is probably good publicity for the orphanage and Vietnam, but ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.

It is the best thing possible that the adoption was sped up because the massive amount of info being given out is somewhat frightening. All the paps have been alerted, and droves of them are now in Vietnam, hunting for that elusive million dollar pix of Angelina, Mad, and little Pax. I am so happy Mickey is on duty, he will protect them.

What is so sad is that when they picked up Zee they were not even recognized in Ethopia. They were able to visit twice in two weeks and nothing leaked. Contrast that peaceful situation in 2005 with the situation in Vietnam in 2007 where bodyguards are a necessity.

Hey just realized his middle name (birth middle name ) was Quang and I voted for Quang as a middle name. i was right! Yeah. Telepathic!

As for talking about God, you should know that he loves all children and only cares that they are being loved and cared for.

So before trying to use him to bash Angie, you need to check yourself and come at it correctly!

Oh just wait until Brad files the papers in LA to adopt Paz.I shudder to think of how these haters will be flipping out!I wonder do they realize how much time and energy the waste hating on this couple?

Debbie Says: Your ‘friends’ (you have friends?!) are probably trying to adopt a baby, whereas if they were openminded enough to adopt a 3 year old they would probably have a child by now.

WORD! and if they were openminded and chose a kid that didn’t look like them they probably could get an infant let alone an older one.

Odd how these haters always seem to have so many friends trying to adopt! Are they aware of your crappy attitudes?

she looks like she’s about to keel over.

next kid-another new letter, acronym-change again ’screwed with’ 2-sound-cool.

Angel, you are a load your momma should have swallowed.

I hope this adoption will open up a discussion on families who have adopted internationally. This would be a perfect opportunity to interview other regular people all over the country who have done the same as Angelina. I just heard on a local news station one snarky reporter who questions the motives on the adoption. She feels thatn Angelina is trying to vill a void in her life. Then she processed to ask people to call in with “their thoughts” on the happy news. Many people called in and applauded Angelina and proceeded to let the reporter know of their international adoptions. It was great. Some were adopting their 3rd & fourth child from China. Girls were especially in need of being adopted because in China, boys are preferred so girls are put up for adoption. Also there is still a one child rule in China. It was so informative. This is the kind of discussion we need to have. The reporter’s sidekick, an NY journalist said his nephew is adopted and there is no difference in how he see’s him. But the b*tch female reporter found a comrade in snark after about 6 calls. Some woman said that, yeah maybe Angelina was trying to fill a void. The reporter practically yelled in agreement. This, after all the previous heartwarming calls and wonderful stories from listeners sharing their happiness. She practically insulted them and delared them null, void & personas non grata with that response. the adoption stories were fantastic , though and wonder why the media doesn’t jump on this, international adoptions, as a viable story. Maybe Dateline, Nightline on CNN special report or something. It might inform many who are interested and may also warn of the pitfalls that are out there.

Paula the Crotch: You’re a real ******, y’know that? But I guess it comes with the territory.

By the way, there are these lovely things called “punctuation marks”. Most of us learned about them in elementary school, but I guess you missed that lesson while out swallowing loads of your own. Shall I teach them to you?

_____________________________________________________________
Of course it’s a great thing to adopt. I suppose the point is that you have the contrast of people who *live* a life of “gluttony” and then attempt to *preach* about living a life of giving to others. The “gluttony” is the several houses (how many now? 6? there’s 3 in LA, 1 in NO, 1 in Berlin, only 5?) (including the extreme costs etc, heat, water, lights…groundskeeping..on and on…) the gas guzzling SUV’s (yet Pitt is doing a “green” project) the nannies the rest of the paid entourage of security, assistants etc…

Do you people not find that wasteful?

Travelling to different countries for a photo-op then going back to your 5 star hotel does not a humanitarian make. Of course, there’s some attention brought to the issues - hopefully it will bring change. That’s not the point, the point is the hypocrisy.

The point is the hypocrisy.

____________________________________________________________________

My post from the other thread - don’t get too riled up.

Yes, Angel! Please give me a lesson so I can be just like you. I figure all I need to be just like you is an additional 75 pounds, a moustache, and a flannel shirt! Am I right?

ITA with #331 on poorpham. Sounds like this person is the one taking Paxil.

Just because she changed his name on paper that does not mean they’re just going to forget the 3 years he was known as Pham quang or whatever. Of course they will call him by the name he knows at first, and then they will have to figure how to tell him he has a new cooler name. PAX Thien.

BURLYGURL - MY RESPONSE BACK TO YOU FROM THE OTHER THREAD - don’t you get too riled up now honey. ;-)

Angelina and Brad don’t preach to anyone - their good acts speak volumes. If your work took you all over the world you would have more than one house too if you could afford it. And because of their security requirements they can’t just stay ‘anywhere’ like the rest of us. I didn’t realize that you were sitting in their living room counting up their entourage. Best as I can tell, they have one nanny, usually one bodyguard, and maybe an assistant. Angelina doesn’t even employ a publicist, though she does have a political advisor (which speaks volumes about what’s important to her). When they go out for coffee it’s usually just them and the kids. You’re hallucinating.

PS - my significant other is one of the ‘unsung heroes’ that you are preaching about, and yet I am able to still appreciate the efforts that Angelina and Brad are making as well. These causes need all the publicity they can get, and the fact remains that the spotlight would be on them no matter what they did. At least they are utilizing it for good. Too bad you can’t make that distinction.

Happy birthday Cliniqua.

BURLYGURL: Do you have a problem with all wealthy land owners, or just Brangelina?

Only when wealthy land owners preach to the pubic (preach for whatever reason, you know, attention seeking, always having to *appear* as do-gooders and “look good”) and then turn around live a very different life behind the scenes.

What part about my point don’t you understand? It’s the hypocrisy, no matter who you are.

FF getting boring?

Brad never went back to Aniston and he’s still with Angelina and their growing family.

Must suck trying to get over Brad Pitt. Unless, you’re Angelina, who’s over him, under him, etc.

Jeez , don’t have an anxiety attack , this is an opinion, nothing more!

Well I am quite sure there is some LOGICAL explanation as to why your friends don’t have a child yet and Angelina does (I didn’t realize you were privy to her adoption file honey). Perhaps your friends have something questionable in their past or where they are adopting from has a longer waiting list.

And it’s “respectable” sweetie - if you can’t spell it, how do you expect to live it sweetie?

someone needs to step away from their computer!

BURLYGURL - MY RESPONSE BACK TO YOU FROM THE OTHER THREAD - don’t you get too riled up now honey.

_______________________________________________________________

I have to say I appreciate your response - of course, I completely disagree, but at least it’s not name calling.

All Jen’s fan talking about names, is Aniston Jen’s real last name? Yes or no? If no, do you know her real last name?

BURLYGURL: Do you want them to live in a hut?
POORPHAM: You got that right. YOU need to step away from the computer. You are sounding more and more like an ass every time you post your comment.
PAULA THE CROTCH: You also will need a 4th grade education and a rap sheet to be like ANGELH (WHO BY THE WAY IS SYBIL AKA POORPHAM, DEBBIE, BURLYGURL, ET AL). Still LMAO.

Honey, Jennifer can’t think of anything worse than 4 kids under 5 from different countries.

Yes I agree with you. Because Jennifer is such a selfish B*itch she would think the Worst the in the world would be having those beautiful kids.

Nice. The leave the girls in the hotel room by themselves. Someone needs to give those kids to Jen quickly.

——

These people really have been brainwashed by all Jennifer lies. Jennifer does not even want to babysit her god child. The only reason Jennifer will have a child is if she marries an old man and he had kids that live with their mother in the Soviet Union. Anywhere far enough they don’t visit.

LOL

Whateva: There seems to be a little mistaken identity. I have no idea who those people are, but I’ll take it as a compliment. I’m sure they’ll do the same.

And now, Crotch and Whateva: I’m afraid I’ll have to leave you for a while. I know, I know. You’ll be sad and miss me terribly. Don’t cry too much - you’ll short out the keyboards on those old Commodores 64s.

Dream of me. Love me. Just don’t try stalking me; it’s in such bad taste.

XOXO

Oh yeah, happy birthday Cliniqua.

to 73 WHAT’S IN A NAME,

Thank you very much, it was great to hear the people’s own experiences.

to TEAM LARA CROFT,

I have never realised until I read your comment which is so true. The Jolie-Pitts have chosen the second names of their kids and these names can be used as a surnames.

It seems like it’s Angie’s idea, because she has already it.

Many of the fans here are well-educated professionals and are very capable of disagreeing without name calling. We’ve also researched most of the topics here to the nth degree because we know better than to get behind something or someone without having all the facts. I believe that for the position that Brad and Angelina are in they are pretty reasonable in their choices - they have a big family and are continually chased by the paps - I would choose a SUV too if I were them. They stay in accommodations where their children will be safest - their first concern is always the children. It’s easy to cast stones when you aren’t in their shoes but I have very little doubt that most of us would make similar choices given their circumstances. They aren’t collecting ridiculous amounts of houses, vehicles, etc. like many of their counterparts. Their choices always have a reason behind them that is related to the work and travel that they do, what is best for their family, and their safety. Like anyone who works hard, they enjoy a splurge item from time to time.

If I could only be a fly on the wall when Angelina brings Pax home!Goodnight BAMPZSers.

As much as you would love this to be true ,I really don’t care what J A does. Just because I have issues with AJ does not mean one HAS to be a JA fan. What an old and tired comment.

whateva …did you announce it to your neighbors too. LOL

How did Maddow come up with a name like Pax? It’s beautiful and meaningful.

He is a real thinker as his mother says.

I don’t know much about other country orphanage, but in VN, education is very important.. be it be in the orphange, or in regular school.
Most of the employees in the Orphange are teacher certify. Most of the orphan are potty train at 1 year old, by 2 they know how to use the bathroom on their own. By 3 they already learn how to read and write. So I’m not suprise if Pax already know how to read and write…

happy birthday “CLINIQUA” make me drunk please!

perhaps I misread your comment. Everyone is entitled to their opinions and I respect that as long as there is no name calling. I admire the JPs and I’m happy for them.

Hi Medi-

How are you? Isn’t it late night in France?
Isn’t Pax adorable? I have fallen in love with his picture in that orphanage!

Congatulations to the Jolie-Pitts….another beautiful baby who will be loved.

cool

Medi- hi there. I wonder if Ang and Brad were talking about names one day and Mad liked it. I’ve made suggestions to my kids when we name something(toy,whatever) and they always wait while I throw some out there, since they do know that many names. Just a thought.

Tijen,

so far surviving. I just finished a project on sustainable democracy in a post-conflict society. I had to read a lot on war time atrocities, I did not want to post, too much acidic reading. Tonight I have a night off, and cooked guess what? barbunyali pirasa.

Have to take what I cooked to another Turkish friend, she is entertaining her guests with Turkish cuisine. Meet you here tomorrow.

Say hi to Guli and Medi.

Hi there, as I love cooking just looked up your barbunyali pirasa! Yummy! Oh by the way my French husband has a Turkish friend who gave us a delicious (!!!!!) desert called Gulluoglu (Pistache). We tried to be good and eat slowly but alas.. :)
