To the so-called adoption expert (i’m wondering if its just jelously, because their agaency wasn’t used)…. this was released by the agency AJ used.

This person doesn’t have any agency, she works for About.com, as the post states.

“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

Ashleigh, Pax is a cute name.

As for Angelina adopting again – it isn’t for us to decide what’s right for her and her family.

I amdire the way she has created her family – and for years, I’ve dreamt of adopting children along with having biological children. There are so many children out there who need good, loving homes but I want to carry and give birth to a baby someday.

If my dream comes true, I’ll just look like I’m copying celebrity! Oh, well.

And if Angelina and Brad want a large family and want the kids close in age, doesn’t it seem logical that they would want to have kids close in age (including adopting close together)?

“It’s time for the all the people who dislike Angelina Jolie to get over it!!!!”

No, Vera. Actually, it’s time for all the people who adore Angelina Jolie and expect everyone else to as well to get over it.

there have been no reports that brad’s legal adoption of maddox and zahara has gone through. that will probably take a long time. they were granted the name change on account of the fact that he intends to adopt them.

His birth name was Pham Quang Sang. They called him SANG in Vietnam. His family name was PHAM.
In Vietnam, the family name come first and the first name is last.

I agreed with Jolie to change the boy name. But give the boy name such as Peter, John ,Robert , James… so the boy won’t be TEASED when he grows up and go to school. Pax is not the common name. People will confuse.

Anyway, God bless Angelina and Mia Farrow too. Both of you have a lot of love for children. How many celebrities have the heart like Angelina or Mia? So don’t judge Angelina now. The boy will speak English with American accent soon. No doubt about it.

I like his name Pax! My son is 3months and his name is Paxton nickname PAX! Hey mine came first haha! What do you gusy think of the name. I got alot of Oh um cute with a weird face when I was preg.

It’s time for the all the people who dislike Angelina Jolie to get over it!!!! The fact that this child was ABANDONED and now “someone” gay, black, white or pink wants him DOES NOT matter. It’s a chance for him to have a decent life so why not allow him to be. He will adjust and adapt to his new life anything will be better than an orphanage. And to the people who say it’s too soon for them to adopt, who are you to decide for this family how they should live their lives. It’s also very clear that some of you will never like Angelina but thank goodness she continues to do good regardless. Steve Spielberg has a lot of children and a blended family; no one makes a big deal about him.

Nicole: At this point Brad has not yet adopted Pax because Vietnames law does not allow unmarried couples to adopt. So Angelina has adopted on her own. She did the same thing with Zahara and then Brad adopted her later. So at this point she isn’t legally a Pitt. I’m sure his name will become Jolie-Pitt as soon as Brad adopts him.

Are they not giving him the last name Jolie-Pitt, like the other children?

Shiloh bonded with her mother and father the moment she was born, and it’s rather presumptious to think otherwise if you ask me. People read way to much into the “Blob” descript, and also AJ’s words about making sure to not overlook Shiloh’s needs.

There has been nothing to suggest that Shiloh doesnt get as much from her parents as the others. My abuela’s each said many times that it’s as easy to love many as it is to love one and I think Brad & Angelina prove that well.

As for comparing Britney and Angelina Jolie?! Apples and crab apples! Please don’t dare suggest that there’s anything to compare there so I’ll be moving on lol.

All this birth order nonsense is just that, nonesense. If a child had come older than Maddox, then maybe yes, but that is not the case. Pax is 3 1/4, Zahara is a toddler of two, sorry, but I dont think we have much of an issue except in some scientists mind.

The name change? I doubt that they are immediatly demanding he respond to his new moniker. A wife takes the name of her husband does she not? Is it not a new identity for a new life? She goes from Miss A to Mrs Z right? Again, I see no problem with the name change. I don’t think they need anything but what they’ve already shown, and that’s committment to their family.
