(Five Jolie-Pitts soon to become six.) Vietnam's top adoption official Vu Duc Long said today that a U.S. adoption agency representing Angelina Jolie, 31, filed the necessary paperwork this week to adopt a Vietnamese child.
Interestingly, she applied as a single parent.-- "This is a clear contradiction of Vietnamese law, and such situations would not be allowed for other couples," international adoption advocate Tatiana Beams tells Page Six. "Most co-habitating couples who try to adopt as a single parent are either turned away from agencies or face difficulties." Are officials turning a blind eye because she is a celebrity?
Angelina and partner Brad Pitt, 43, were seen cruising around Ho Chi Minh City last Thanksgiving and they visited the Tam Binh orphanage on the outskirts of the city. The director of the orphanage, Nguyen Van Trung, declined to comment but did say that he is awaiting the paperwork from the International Adoption Agency.
MANNNNNN, I thought I told them to slow down and enjoy the children they have before they throw another one into the mix! I suppose it is understandable that they would want to "rescue" as many chirrens as possible - I just think the current chirrens, Maddox 5, Zahara 2 & "blob" Shiloh 9 months, will be missing out again on all important time with the "rents"...*sigh*
