OlderPax Thien Jolie’s Passport Photo
This is the passport photo of Angelina Jolie’s newly adopted 3-year-old son Pax Thien Jolie (born Truong Quang Sang) that was attached to the passport application filed at the immigration office in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam on Friday. The very first photos of Pax were posted here.
Angelina and Pax (along with Maddox, Zahara, and Shiloh) will fly home to Los Angeles after Pax’s passport and visa have been finalized.
Lao Dong (Labor) newspaper reports that when Angelina and Pax first met, she quickly embraced him and told him in Vietnamese “Khong sao dau, khong sao dau” (No problem, no problem) and immediately started playing with him.
Tuoi Tre (Youth) newspaper reports that Pax can count from 1 to 10 in English and his favorite foods include fried noodles and yogurt.
The adoption agency that Angelina used issued the following response to clear up rumors regarding Pax’s adoption.
“In applying to adopt 3-yr-old Pax Thien, Ms. Jolie followed the same course as all prospective adoptive parents who apply to our Vietnam program. Throughout her adoption process, which began in the summer of 2006, she has received no preferential treatment from the Vietnamese government or Adoptions From The Heart, and contrary to earlier reports, her application was not fast tracked.
Despite rumors that she chose her child, Ms. Jolie received a referral, just like any other parent adopting from Vietnam. In late 2006, she was referred a child who had been legally determined to be available for adoption and who fit within the parameters for which she had been approved to adopt. She accepted the first and only referral given to her.
In addition, we can confirm the statement given by Nguyen Van Trung, Director of Tam Binh Orphanage, that Ms. Jolie has neither made, nor promised to make, any financial contributions to his orphanage. Adoptions From The Heart celebrates the miracle of adoption with the Jolie-Pitt family, as we do with all of our clients, and wish them much joy.”
– Heidi Gonzalez, Vietnam Adoption Coordinator for Adoptions From The Heart

Oh yes he is Julia and so yummy :)
☺Ha! I figured it out on my own. But damn it is small. Maybe it will get bigger when I post?
BAMZSP or is it BAMPZS fans please post the letter from Heidi Gonzalez on every blog you can think of. Send it to every newspaper and tv personality who criticized Pax’s adoption. Send it to Tatiana Beams so she can choke on it. Yes, the truth shall set us free but lies spread much farther than the truth? I wonder why?
HEY GUYS: THIS WAS JUST POSTED ON CNN.COM AT 10:02
HO CHI MINH CITY, Vietnam (AP) — Superstar mom Angelina Jolie is happy to have a chance to focus on her growing family and its newest member, Pax Thien Jolie, according to an interview published in a Vietnamese newspaper Friday.
“I will stay at home to help Pax adjust to his new life,” Jolie told the Ho Chi Minh City Law newspaper. “I have four children and caring for them is the most important thing for me at the moment. I’m very proud and happy to be their mother.”
Jolie adopted the 3-year-old Vietnamese boy on Thursday, during a ceremony at the Ho Chi Minh City Justice Department, which publishes the newspaper.
Since she arrived in Vietnam on Wednesday night, Jolie has been hounded by a jostling horde of photographers and reporters, who followed her from the orphanage to the Ministry of Justice for Thursday’s ceremony.
Jolie said she was sorry that her new son had to be exposed to such a media frenzy and expressed concern about how it would affect him.
“Photographs and press coverage will make him upset,” Jolie said in the interview, which was published in Vietnamese. “I’m very worried about that. I would like to say I’m sorry for bringing this into Pax’s life.”
Jolie’s oldest son, five-year-old Maddox, came with her to Vietnam, where she is expected to stay until next week. Her other children are 2-year-old Zahara, adopted from Ethiopia, and another sister, Shiloh, born to Jolie and her superstar partner Brad Pitt in May.
Ever since she was young, Jolie said, she has wanted to adopt children.
“Everyone would agree that children need to have a family,” the paper quoted her as saying. “I have the ability to help children fulfill that desire. Why should I say no?”
A nurse at the orphanage where Jolie adopted the boy said staff there didn’t realize she and Pitt were superstars when they first visited last year.
“They looked very much like ordinary people,” said Bui Thi Bich Tuyen. “We thought that they were just an ordinary couple that wanted to play with the kids and give them presents. They brought lots of toys.”
Jolie shared crayons and drew pictures with the kids. “We could already see that she had a heart for children,” said Tuyen, the nurse who had been in charge of raising Pax ever since he was brought to the orphanage as an infant.

Mornin’ BAMPZS fans!
That kid is going to be so worldly like the rest of the JoliePitt children!
Wow - three threads, yesterday! I’m glad everything is under one thread again.
I think it’s great that the family can operate in separate units like this.
Do you guys remember when Pitt would take Zahara for ice-cream just the two of them, or the Museum in Namibia? Or when Pitt took Mad out in New York for Pizza/Museum/Restaurant, France for CarRacing, India for a Stroll looking at Helicopters?
This must be a nice holiday for Jolie and her kids. It seems Jolie’s been under ‘house arrest’ where the kids are concerned for awhile with the Papz hounding them. I guess they thought that the Papz wouldn’t hound the family in Vietnam so that Angie can quietly take the kids there for some funtime with Mom.
Again, there is an assumption that Jolie is now suppose to be the clingy,whiny afraid-of-her-own-shadow housewife because she is now part of a couple.
That was the previous couple-dom - ouch! Don’t confuse them.
Gals - we are not dependent, without a backbone, half-a-brain dimwits when we become part of a couple-dom!
That was the mistake made in the former, now-doomed ex-couple - heard of the term: ball and chain! Yeah, exactly!
Yes, this adoption is a big deal and Pax is being brought into the fold!
Welcome to the family, PAX! However, the JoliePitts already had a visit in November and that is the most important - his introduction to the couple.
Of course, children hardly remember these and can’t put the significance to this. However, the introduction is there and have been made.
Remember, this family operates to their own beat - what counts is that everyone that counts (and that is the JoliePitt family members) is happy with the decision or ok with the compromises!

Oh no! See, that’s what you get making suggestions like that. Okay, quick…make fun of a stupid post.
***********************
Oh that’s better I just arranged a coup and overthrew the studpidity police…now to get back to enjoying tripping-up the ’stupids’….well, it’s early yet so the amoebic army isn’t out in full force yet.
LOL- I will get it eventually.

:cry:
:lol:
if angelina keep adopting kid , brad migth be leave her someday , why she like to adopt 3 kids is enough ,,,, goshhhh ,,,,,, i think she’s a weird lady , she doesn’t wanna get married to brad pitt ,,,,, i dont know whats wrong with her and i hope that brad pitt will not leave her someday
Do we actually KNOW that the girls are with Angie? There seems to be a great deal of confusion about that. I’ve read that they are and that they are home with Brad. I think if it were me, I’d leave the girls home. Not only because of the attention they would pull away from Pax (from Angie), but because I think Brad would go nuts if all his kids were away.
#25 what else would they say. hrumpf!
:) Did that work?

BBL
Be happy with angels, sweet Pax. God bless you
Oh, well… but if you put your cursor over a smiley face that you like, what you’re supposed to type usually appears

Jolie Pitt says:
But it would be fun to watch the definition of housewife become completely reinvented by our sexy Angie.
you people are really freaks. you act as if you know them.
i think it must be about the same 10 obsessed weird no life people writing this thread because anywhere else you go readers just don’t care or they think brad has lost his mind.
anyone who goes to this extent to get attention and keep a man needs serious help.
four kids, 5 and under. just what you love life ordered. i think they should pass a law….. the angelina law………. only one kid per year and no two colors in a row

Why are you pretending not to be a native english speaker?
Yeah, Jolie must be setting up the brood!
Pitt must be in heaven for having such an independent partner who carries the weight as much as he does!
He helped her through losing her Mom and must be very happy that she’s bouncing back and not turning her tragedy into a self-pity, helpless, dragging emotional-drain blackhole where the whole family would be distressed by this.
Instead, she is channeling this into a positive, family-building, loving world for their children that THEY are BOTH expanding consciously.
Very commendable and brave, Jolie!
