Angelina Jolie Completes Adoption of Pax

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!

if ange and brad are so concerned about shiloh being the star of the family and the one that the media pays the most attention to then why did they deliberately leave her out of these pictures taken in vietnam? it makes her stand out even more because now people all over the internet are talking about why she isn’t there. they know that many people think ange favors her adopted children over shiloh and now she just gave them ammunition, whether she meant to or not. it was a stupid mistake and makes many question her intentions and her true feelings about her children. people magazine even uses the phrase ‘debuts her new son’ this makes it sound like she is promoting a movie.

omg you guys are sick. Shiloh looks exactly like her Father BRAD!

you are right I am no longer a fan. Maybe when she stops trying to prove a point about her adopted kids Vs her bio kid I’ll be a fan again. I never thought I would not be a fan of hers, all this time I could not stand Brad and now I am starting to dislike both. I feel kinda sad about this. Bottom line, Brad is the worst thing that EVER happened for her. good bye

hmm and answer same person.

from the adoption agency @ 03/21/2007 at 10:56 am

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

See, you should have just said you were not a fan from the beginning instead of lying your way through all those posts pretending you were a fan. By the way, I knew you weren’t a fan because I remember all your previous posts.

OMG, do you have any more scans???? That is gorgeous!!!!

coco+coco+summer+Broke Smith+Smith B&A lame= The same person.

Please Coco&Co stop all this trick enough, if you don’t like someone you people don’t need to visit the comment site just overlook the picture and move on.

Well no matter what people like you say it will not change my mind and i will always love the family.

I don’t bother myself to visit or check on the thread of the celebrity i don’t like.

Don’t you people know that hatred, jealousies, envy, outbursts of wrath cause depression?

Sometimes I always think why people must always find fault in anything other people do, especial Jolie-Pitt and by the way we don’t know them personally.

Why must people always complain on any good news that comes to the Jolie-Pitt family?

As JOHN MASON wrote in one of his book that
==CRITICISM IS A COMPLIMENT WHEN YOU’RE DOING THE RIGHT THING
==IF SOMEONE BELITTLES YOU, HE IS ONLY TRYING TO CUT YOU DOWN TO HIS SIZE.
==ENVY PROVIDES THE MUD THAT FAILURES THROW AT SUCCESS
== SMALL MINDS ARE THE FIRST TO CONDEMN GREAT IDEAS
== A SUCCESSFUL MAN IS ONE WHO CAN LAY A FIRM FOUNDATION WITH THE BRICKS THAT OTHERS THROW AT HIM.

I just like how Angelina is doing her things in the way that suit, please ther and Brad without moving with what people say or do.

THEY NEVER SURRENDER THEIR DREAM TO NOISY NEGATIVES. I like and love their family.

May God continue to protect and guide them also i wish Angies and the childress safe journey. The Jolie-Pitt family will always be in my prayer.

Peaces to all the BAMPZS fan love you all. Wish the fans the best both those that pretend all the best.

пока! (bye-bye)

And you’re such a FOOKIN’ (to quote Cliniqua) liar. IT ISN’T EVEN OUT ON VIDEO YET. Besides, isn’t Matt Damon the star of this movie and wasn’t Angie in it only for about, oh, 20 minutes? And yet you’re putting all of this on her?

Once again Angie shut up the nay-sayers with a single pic about how Pax can’t and won’t adjust to his new enviornment.

And before the trolls show up and start posting the links to the articles that imply that AJ “bought” Mad or Z, which I read a LONG time ago and am well aware of, I have this to say:

It is very easy to sit here in our warm homes with food in our bellies and not comprehend why a woman would “sell” her baby for money, or why another person would even consider “adopting/buying” a child that has living relatives still in their life.

When you have travelled to a country and witnessed abject poverty first hand it is a life-altering experience. What you see on tv and in movies doesn’t begin to match it.

The first time that you see families living in tin shacks with dirt floors along a dirt road, with no clean water or electricity it is like being punched in the gut. Children dying in the dirt from malaria, AIDS and malnutrition is the most horibble thing one can see. You can’t breathe and your eyes automatically well up with tears. And all you can think is “How can we be letting this happen when back home we have SO MUCH?” It is like nothing you have ever seen in your life and it haunts you forever. You want to tell every person you meet the atrocity you have seen and implore them to do what they can to help.

If you were that child’s relative, and knew they would likely not make it through the next year of their life if you hold on to them, and someone came along and offered to take them away to a life you cannot even comprehend - one where they would be well-fed, well housed, treated immediately for any medical problem they have, educated at the best schools, and loved beyond belief - what would you do? Fortunately it is a decision none of us will ever have to make.

Adoption overseas is complicated and it’s not a perfect system. I belive that AJ and Madonna have done their utmost to ensure that their adoptions are on the “up and up”. Beause of who they are every human rights organization in swinging distance wants to be involved in the process. As AJ so rightly stated in her interview last week on CNN - you are checked out to the nth degree when adopting a child - yet anyone can bring a child into this world without any of the same requirements needing to be met.

Both AJ and Madonna have not just swept in and adopted children in another part of the world without a though towards improving conditions in the countries that their children are from. They are involved on a ground level with trying to improve conditions in Cambodia and all of Africa so that in the future there won’t be so many orphans, and the orphans that do exist will live beyond the age of 5, and in conditions that aren’t so deplorable.

You can criticize all you want, but I think that if people put half that same energy into being part of the solution as they do into criticizing others for their efforts we wouldn’t have these problems to the extent that we do. And I say WE because we are all on this planet together, and if we don’t smarten up and start working together we are in line for problems we can’t even begin to imagine.

B&A are lame Says:

Catch who doing what? Its kind of ironic that you guys are so self involved and so obsessed with justifying, legitimizing, and praising absolutely everything that Angelina and/or Brad does that you can’t see that anyone else may have a point. And the vitriol with which you react to people that dare to critize them or have a less than glowing opinion of them honestly, doesn’t show your “smarts,” it shows just how crazy you people are.
**********************************

THAT’S TRUE…..WE DO THAT BECAUSE OF B & A IS OUR IDOL. SO WE CAN SAY ANYTHING GOOD ABOUT THEM AND IT’S MAKE US A HAPPY PERSON AND WE HAVE A HAPPY LIFE.
ON THE OTHER HAND, YOU ALL HATERS THAT POSTED BAD WORDS, THAT’S MEAN YOU ARE SAD PERSONS AND YOU HAVE A SAD LIFE

WHY DID JENNIFER ANASTASSAKIS CHANGE HER NAME?? DID SHE HATE HER GREEK SELF? IS THAT WHY SHE IS SO CONFUSED IN HER LIFE? OH MY GAWD…..CHANGING ONE’S NAME IS SUCH A WICKED THING TO DO!! OH MY GAWD. OH MY GAWD. THE SHAME!!!!!!!!! IS THIS WHY SHE SEEMS SO LOST???!!!

Okay, that was specially for Coco the cuckoo and her fannytoon selves.

_________________
Let me repeat this too

Yes to all the haters, Why did Jennifer Aniston change her last name?

Did she hate her Greek ancestry?

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

Great ! this is the best response for the haters who keep repeating they shouldn’t change Pax name. .

The arrival of Pax to the growing Jolie-Pitt family is a blessed event. As a fan of Brad and Angie, I wish them the best.
To hmm, please if you have any ounce of decency, take your virulent issues and innuendos elswhere. You have bigger problems in your life than criticizing Brad and Angelina.

vfromtexas @ 03/21/2007 at 11:05 am

the pic of pax and mad is so sweet. they are bonding as brothers already. who is such a dumbass that they don’t see that shiloh looks just like brad. seriously grasping at straws now. and you are afraid to cause trouble for angelina, yeah you can really effect her life. and i don’t really see a lot of trouble anyway, the woman seems so very happy.

Black Barack Obomb'Bush @ 03/21/2007 at 11:05 am

The acronym queen aka the flag police captain. still alive I see.

I am a former fan and there must have been more than one hmm because I just stopped my Angie worshiping today on this thread. I usually just trash talk Brad and defend Angie.Not anymore F them both. I never go to FF no matter how much I dislike B or A those ffers are mentally insane … I dont wanna be one of them . good bye for good this time

Happy JoliePittfan Says:

(Love your name!) Thanks for the picture of Madd and Pax. That is the sweetest, most innocent thing. I too have tears looking it. I bet Angie has tears in her eyes also, knowing what she saved these kids from and imagining the future that they will have with her and Brad as parents.

For all the ignorant idiots here and in other blogs as well, I mean the ones who are so quick to judge and give opinions about Angelina adopting from where , how, why, why the name change, etc. etc. If you don’t know anything about adoption then it would be much better if you don’t make any comments at all because all it shows is your stupidity. First of all let me say international adoption is a process that involves invasive home studies, psychological or psychiatric evaluations, heartbreaks, and tons of paperwork for both our government and the government of the country you’ll be adopting from. Every country is different so it may take 9 to 12 months to adopt sometimes up to 2 years. If Angelina decided to change this little boy’s name that’s perfectly fine since IT’S HER SON, plus it may be much better for him to start fresh, new life, new loving family and new name this will definitely help him forget about his miserable life he had before. This boy has been safe by Angelina and Brad and if it took them only 3 days to adopt him SO WHAT, don’t forget that what really matters is that this boy will have a privileged life, a loving and wonderful family.

Sabrosa- I totally agree with everything you typed.

If anyone wants me helping in deletion let me know the post #. I shall be happy to help out.

Haters are full of hate. And there likes spew their hate on everyone. Malaya (I think) posted an article about this unmarried woman who found out she was pregnant 2 days before she delivered the baby. This was because she is rather fat. In the article, it says that the news article comments page has people write horrid remarks about her and how she will be a horrible mother. the article went on to talk about how some companies have had to modify their comments area or in Yahoo’s case, close it down altogether because a small number of haters were taking an inordinate amount of space.

OK, this article helped me put the haters of Brad and Angelina in perspective. They don’t just hate Brad and Angelina, there are haters who will hate on a fat unmarried woman who isn’t a celebrity. Read any blog and it is the haters comments who predominate in just about all blogs. Angelina and Brad will of course always attract even more hate mail because they are who they are - SUPERNOVAS together.

And I do believe the comment in the article about how it is a small number of posters who predominate with their hate blogs. More than once now, haters on the Angelina thread have come on, posting an agreement with another hater - and oopss, forgot to change their name. I’m sure these haters - everywhere, feed of the negativity and attention. They must live in their little ***** and karma must be a ***** to them.

Enough about them.
