Angelina Jolie Completes Adoption of Pax

Wed, 21 March 2007 at 8:19 am

Angelina Jolie has completed her adoption of 3-year-old Pax Thien Jolie from Vietnam. The mother-of-four has left the capital Hanoi, where she obtained Pax’s visa to take him home to L.A. The family departed from Noi Bai Airport via a Gulfstream jet.

Said Angelina on making Pax’s transition as smooth as possible: “It will take him a while to realize he has a family and that his new life is permanent and that it won’t keep changing.”

Here’s People Magazine’s just-released cover for the week:

Angelina Jolie debuts her new son, Pax Thien Jolie, in Ho Chi Minh City for the first time since his adoption last week. The mother of four was joined in Vietnam by a welcoming committee: big brother Maddox, 5, and little sister Zahara, 2 (10-month-old Shiloh was home with dad), as the 3-year-old now joins the world’s most famous multicultural family.

And here’s a great recent quote from orphanage director Nguyen Van Trung on the similarity between Pax and Angelina?

(laughs) I think he is like Brad Pitt rather than Jolie. ~~Sang~~ Pax is as naughty and smart as any character played by Pitt. Brad Pitt is very easy. Last year when he came here, he asked me where the restroom was and I showed him the way to a public restroom. And he walked straight there.”

PAX is like PITT!

Just STFU Summer. I came to the USA without a word of English at age 5 & I managed without any trouble. Biased enough. Just admit it you just hate Angelina. BTW your idol Jen’s thread is pretty quite right now. Go & savor her cr*p

To Summer: Why is Shiloh so much more important than the other children? Why does it always come down to “Where is Shiloh”? Why can’t Mad, Pax, Zahara be also as important as Shiloh in people’s eyes?

They are three photos,the other one is very sweet,its Maddox and Pax fast asleep on the bed.I think the photos were taken by someone with Angelina and then given to Hello and People.It wasn’t the photo shoot people are talking about.If you see Maddox and Pax you know they had to be taken by someone close

There’s something seedy about Angelina she doesn’t seem right in her head. the boy can’t even speak english the US is totally alien to him it’s a bit selfish dragging him out of his culture and enviornment to a totally alien place. I heard he was hiding from her durring the adoption ceremony cause he was so scared.

————————-

What I would like to know right now is if this is your opinion of all the new parents of adopted children from foriegn lands and who also dnot speak the language of the new family? You must know that Pax is just the most famous of 3yr olds, and not the only to become part of a family that does not share the same ethnicity or heritage. I will be waiting for your answer.

Every international adoption will have a result of bringing the child out of their home country. Not only angelina Jolie, thousands of family do that too.
Don’t be a small minded summer!
A young child is very easy to adapt other language and there is no language barrier to play with other kids eventhough they are not speaking the same language or even they are not the same race. (see pax and zahara’s picture)
Maybe it’s hard for your tiny brain to learn other language, …. but not for anybody else.
Or maybe you are jealous that now pax has a better life than yours.

I’ll repeat the same question to you:

Thanks Just Jared. The cover shot is beautiful. Congrats to AJ on completing her adoption of Pax. Zahara is growing up to be a beauty and Pax is too cute. I wish them a safe trip home and a big hug and lots of kisses from Papa Pitt. Best wishes to BAMPZS and peace to all.

JUST IGNORE #41 and # 42 !!! THEY ARE NOT WORTHY OF OUR TIME.
THEY ARE JUST STUPID PEOPLE THAT LIVE IN THEIR TINY MIND.

I agree with Summer- I found it odd that Angie felt it necessary to change the boy’s name. - It seems Angie has issues which she is trying to cover by adopting. I hope she’s adopting for the right reasons. Pax seemed to be well taken care of and spared of any major trauma i.e. Z. Therefore it arouses suspicion as to why she needed to adopt him so quickly. Adoption is a great thing but I believe the greater battle is helping these countries develop enough so that parents will be able to look after themselves and subsequently their own children.

I am not stopping you from having an opinion. All I’m saying is why does Shiloh always have to seen as more important than the other children? Why were people not wondering where the rest of the children were when there was that picture of Brad and Shiloh alone on set? Does that mean he loves his other children less since we’ve seen him only carry Shiloh recently even when they went on walks? It just baffles me, that’s it. Again, you can have your own opinion, I’m not against that.

IslandG1rl @ 03/21/2007 at 9:10 am

Thanks Jared for the pics. God Bless the Jolie-Pitt family. More power to them and please, Pax will be just fine. I came to the U.S. barely speaking and understanding English. I turned out just fine…..at a young age, I absorb everything….. so, to people who are worried about Pax being away from his “turf”, don’t worry, he will be just fine.

morning coffee @ 03/21/2007 at 9:11 am

goodness, I can’t keep up, literally! While the Shiloh debate,( Mad seems to do OK where ever he is), and Pax’s “obstacle’ of changing names and culture rages on, Z’s really the one that stands out in my mind. That frown you see is her diaprroval for the cameramen around her. Her regal pout is something she’s getting down for future experiences on the runway, and you know she’s got it down. And she saves her heartfelt smiles for her “peeps”

********

Brad isn’t the one who said that he “feels” more for/loves the adopted children more than he does Shiloh, so no, your comparison doesn’t hold up.

Mr & Mrs Smith i’m not trying to say Shiloh should be the important one i’m saying since the day that she has been born i’ve never felt in observing pictures and interviews like everyone else she has been of any importancent to Angelina and that worries me. THEY SHOULD ALL BE EQUAL. If i felt that about any of the others i would say so too

The fam will be the cover of Us Magazine

Actress Angelina Jolie, 31, adopted son Pax Thien less than a week ago, but experts say they can already anticipate how he will get along with his three siblings based on their birth order.

Us Weekly consulted Frank J. Sulloway, author of Born to Rebel: Birth Order, Family Dynamics and Creative Lives, to determine how the newest member of the family is likely to affect life in the Jolie-Pitt household.

Maddox, 5:
As the eldest, he’ll be “conscientious, responsible, protective of younger siblings and most likely excel in school.”

Pax, 3:
As a middle child, he’ll be “agreeable, a peacemaker — and good at wheeling and dealing, since the firstborn has physical dominance.”

Zahara, 2:
“Open to experience. And, like Pax, likely to be very agreeable.”

Shiloh, 10 months:
The youngest, she’ll be “obstinate, extroverted and fun-loving. Many great comedians were the youngest in the family.”

Who is Pax Thien Jolie? What is the real reason his adoption was expedited? What does a handwriting expert have to say about the thank you note that Angelina left the orphanage? What’s up next for Hollywood’s most watched family?

For more details on the adoption, pick up the new issue of Us Weekly, on newsstands this week.

They are not on the cover of In Touch and I can’t see Star.
