OlderIntroducing… Pax Thien Jolie-Pitt
New reports from Vietnam are coming in that Angelina Jolie has renamed her 3-year-old adopted son from Pham Quang Sang to PAX THIEN JOLIE (soon to be PAX THIEN JOLIE-PITT).
In Latin, “PAX” means “peace.” In Vietnamese, “THIEN” means “sky.” The coolness factor pretty much matches up with the rest of the pack: Maddox, Zahara and Shiloh. PAX. THIEN. JOLIE. PITT.
But it has been confirmed that Angelina has completed procedures with Vietnamese authorities to adopt. Just one more hoop to jump through: U.S. consular and embassy officials must give approval.
In short… Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie will soon have four children: 5-year-old son Maddox adopted from Cambodia, 3-year-old son Pax adopted from Vietnam, 2-year-old daughter Zahara adopted from Ethiopia and 10-month old daughter Shiloh, who was born to the couple in May 2006.

Re the name change –
For all we know, Pax’s name change might be official but not used for every day right now. Or maybe they’ll ease him into it, and start by using Pax and Sang interchangeably. He’s got a new family now, which he will forever be a part of. With that, does come a new identity.
However, for all we know, the JPs might still refer to him as Sang. ‘Sang’ might just become his nickname, or his ‘unofficial’ first name - one that he uses most often - while on his passport and official docs he will be Pax Thien Jolie Pitt. Just like Brad’s birth certificate reads ‘William Bradley Pitt’ - but he doesn’t go by William. Pax Thien Jolie Pitt might not go by Pax, either. It’s a wait and see kind of deal.
I just realized something….Angie has had two significant others named William. LOL

None of your business.
Izzie says: was the show “Survivor” on yesterday?
Izzie, I belive after last weeks show they said the next NEW episode of Survivor will be on Wednesday, March 21st. So you’re good, and even if you watch American Idol it doesn’t come on until 9PM so you can still catch both.
It’s going to be a crazy week next week in our house because we are totally hooked on American Idol and Survivor and also Dancing with the Stars which starts next week too. Luckily Rob & Amber got voted off Amazing Race last week so we have our Sunday nights free again.
JULES: What will you ***** about next?

***********************
Amaya,
Love your blog so far. I’ll have to finish watching these videos after work, but you might have found a new blog visitor in me!
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!!

Thank you, thank your for the link to your blog.
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.

Izzie- I thought they said survivor was changed to weds. this week but it wasn’t on. I hate how they have the tribes divided this round.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Hi there! I’ve been coming in and out while at the office. My hubby was looking for Survivor too last night. The division of the tribes seems so unfair to me. How can that losing team ever compete on equal footing? They are just getting picked off s l o w l y.
What a great day for BAMPZS fans…. That young boy looks like such a sweetheart.
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.
When we immigrated to this country, my parents gave me an English name on paperwork. Thank goodness! No one in my school at the time would have been able to pronounce my real name. Having the easier English name made me blend in more. I was not confused. I did not think my parents did it because they liked the “designer” name. I knew of other immigrant kids who kept their native names and I remembered feeling bad for them when people struggled with the pronounciation. My parents continue to call me by my real name, but pretty much everyone else calls me by my English name. I know who I am. Now having grown up, I am grateful for being able to have the life I have in this country. And if my new name signaled that in, I am happy to answer to it.
Undoubtedly the first few months will be a bit tough for Pax. But he is not yet 4 and children adapt quickly and happily as long as they are safe from harm, loved and cared for. He’s far luckier than all the other orphans who are not adopted in the same orphan - who also don’t have new names BTW.
Best wishes always to BAMPZS.
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.

Hey Creativegirl - Thanks for the information. I haven’t been watching Dancing with Stars but one of my coworkers does. So she gives me recaps of that show. I get AI recaps from a radio station that I listen to on my way to work. (My hubby is a remote control hog). This is my second season of Amazing Race, and I love it. Oddly enough, I am actually rooting for the Beauty Queens. I was dancing with joy when Rob-n-Amber got eliminated last week. I thought Amber was really a royal B when she lied to The Cousins about the clue. Then, to watch them get eliminated was sweet.
Speaking of dancing, where is Guli?
are Z n baby Shi w/Angie n Maddox in Vietnam 2? am confused hehe
+++++++++++++
According to AP, yes the girls are with her.
Nice. The leave the girls in the hotel room by themselves. Someone needs to give those kids to Jen quickly.

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.
i have a friend, she’s in her early 30’s n recently she changed her name from Byant 2 Michelle n Bryant is now her middle name, the reason y she changed her name 2 Michelle bcuz her husband’s 1st name starts w/a letter M n so is her twin girls, so, she felt like she’s the only 1 in the family who’s name don’t start w/a letter M so all of them now have M’s on their 1st names hehe…
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
From the Hollywood Reporter (AP).
HO CHI MINH CITY - Angelina Jolie adopted her fourth child Thursday, a Vietnamese boy from a Ho Chi Minh City orphanage.
Government officials said the boy was renamed Pax Thien Jolie and is almost three-and-a-half years old.
“Thank you for taking such wonderful care of my son,” the Oscar-winning actress wrote in the visitors’ book of the Tam Binh orphanage. “I am sure he will miss your beautiful, caring staff as much as you will miss him,” she added.
The adoption will be final once U.S. embassy officials in Hanoi approve the paperwork for the child to travel to the United States. Jolie and Vietnamese officials have already signed adoption documents in Ho Chi Minh City.
Senior officials said Jolie’s adoption had been speeded up, partly due to her celebrity status. She filed papers in early March, although she visited last November. The length of time it takes to adopt in Vietnam varies, with an average of about six months.
Orphanage director Nguyen Van Trung said the boy had been abandoned at birth at a local hospital and has been at the orphanage since 2003.
He cried when Jolie came to the orphanage.
Bui Thi Bich Tuyen, the woman who took care of the boy there said, “he’s just like the other children but maybe a bit more dynamic. He is shy with new people, he always cries.”
Jolie took the boy with her to the Justice Department building in the city center to sign the adoption documents. Her car left half an hour later.
A witness said she wore a black T-shirt and black pants.
“She was very beautiful. She signed and had her photo taken,” department official Dao Van Tran said outside the building.
Jolie has two adopted children and a biological daughter with partner Hollywood star Brad Pitt.
She flew into the southern Vietnamese city formerly called Saigon on Wednesday night from Japan on a chartered plane. Her son Maddox and daughters Zahara and Shiloh Nouvel accompanied her.
Jolie, 31, filed adoption papers in early March through an unidentified American agency without Pitt because under the law in Vietnam an unmarried couple cannot adopt a child, while a single person can.
Jolie and Pitt visited Ho Chi Minh City last November and met children at the orphanage.
The couple say they have no plans to marry but are committed to raising their children together. Their biological daughter, Shiloh Nouvel, was born last year. Jolie adopted Maddox from Cambodia and Zahara from Ethiopia before her relationship with Pitt, who has now become their adoptive father.
The couple starred in the 2005 movie “Mr. & Mrs. Smith”.
They are also working together on the film “A Mighty Heart” about the killing of a U.S. journalist by Pakistani militants.
Jolie won an Oscar in 1999 for best supporting actress in “Girl, Interrupted”. She starred in the 2001 movie “Lara Croft: Tomb Raider” which was filmed in Cambodia, neighboring Vietnam.
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

You’re one of those. The egg has hatched it’s time for him to come home, people.
I take that back, you don’t need your parents love. They need to btichslap you upside the head and downside the other.
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

Why don’t you adopt from the USA and let Angie and others adopt from wherever they see fit! If you are so concerned about it, you should do something instead of criticizing what others do.
