Angelina Jolie, Petition on new adoption

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are filing an application for another adoption. According to sources in Vietnam, the couple already petitioned for a boy at the Tam Binh orphanage in Ho Chi Minh City. In November, Angelina and Brad both visited the organization and Brad Pitt announced last year that he wants to expand his family soon. They were in talks to have six children or more.

    they should not be allowed to adopt till they have lived togrther for 6 years as neither one is of any moral values and i thnk they should give their three kids the attention they need not bring anther kid in as the children are still too young.

    I think that Angelina is “collecting” the kids so when Brad wants a divorce, it is going to cost him big bucks to get a divorce

    Angelina and Brad seem to be two loving parents that have their head on straight. They are trying to nuture and love children that are in desperate need of it. I wish them the best….

    She is portraying herself as a very insecure and controlling person that thinks that by having more kids will keep a man. You need to raise the children not just have one after another, each child in unique and they deserve to know proper values and etc etc. This should be a lesson for men to be careful as to the trash that they could have an affair.

    I totally dissagree, she loves kids. do you think its impossible to raise two children at once? or even four? it doesnt matter, honestly. If she has the money to take these children out of the situations they are in, then I am all for it. She is an amazing beautiful woman, and she does so much more for the world than any of you could say. Would you rather have more Paris Hiltons around that get paid to party? or have people that actually try to better the world? until you can say for yourself that you are giving millions to people who need it more, I dont think you have anything to say for yourself.

    Does it occur to anyone that there are in fact so many unfortunate children around the world, and she is trying her best to help some of them to have a family?

    Angelina & Brad are loving devoted parents who have enough money (and further good prospects) to afford raising as many babies as they wish. Many people avoid having big families because of the cost and thats sad. They are not being selfish to open their hearts and lives to innocent children who otherwise would not have a good life with loving parents who dedicate themselves to their well-being, as Angelina & Brad clearly do. If more people were brave enough to help others instead of just themselves this world would be a really beautiful place.

    Its sounds like everyone is pallying to the promotion that surrounds Angelina and Brad. But if charity comes from the heart, why do they organise a press conference everytime they donate money.
    She is comforting herself, donating money in the hope that it will ease the discontent stirring in the countries where she buys these children from. Because she is rich, she can by-pass the adoption laws. How many people are on the waiting list to adopt children.
    And another thing… All her children have parents in severe poverty so it seems easy to corrupt the poor than to enable them. Why doesn’t she adopt orphans.
    And finally, donating to “charity” in your work life does erase the bad example shes set for her children by starting a relationship with a married man. What a wonderful foundation for a family…SELF-CENTRED GREED!

    Whomever and wherever a responsible, qualified adopting parent chooses to adopt is their own personal business. As the parent of three sons
    I can say that wherever you adopt from you pretty much get the kids God planned for you to have - even if they managed to be born thousands of miles from you!

    As a mother of an adopted daughter from China, I am truly appalled by the negative reactions to Angie’s new adoption. Anyone who has actually experience the love between a mother and their adopted children, would adopt as many children as they could financially support. I am also adopting another girl from China. Although I have the long waiting periods I don’t mind, because as Peggy said, God has her already planned for us.

    So for everyone who is so damn judgemental….get a life….you don’t know these people personally.

    shes so dumb, she is doing this for attention, doesnt she have a career and her other illegitimate children to worry about? obviously these kids are gonna be pretty messed up from all the publicity about her and brad and jen and the whole mess of it all. then there is poor little shilo who is the REAL child of angie and brad and she just keeps on getting big brothers and sister when she should be the oldest child, but her mom needs attention 24.7

    Karen and Olivia - I don’t know which redneck small town trailer park you guys come from but your opinions are appalling. These children are now ALL real children of this family. Angeling and Brad are always trying to avoid the press and just help as many children as they can by bringing them into a loving home and family. Shilo will be so lucky to have such diversity in her life. - Olivia - as for self centred greed - when was the last time you got off your fat lazy ass and did something for charity let alone give millions and millions away, and physically work in countries to make sure the money is put to good use. Your a moron!!!!!!!!!!!!

    There are an array of chidren who are in dire need of a home and loving parents all over the world. No matter what country Angelina and Brad decide to adopt these children from, it’s all relative. They’re changing the world one child at a time, how can anyone dismiss that.

    why are you people hating on them? they only have three children and correct me if im wrong but wasn’t it the “old american way” to have enough children spaced out enough to have constant help on the farm? guess we forgot abt that… i have met both personally and can put my faith that they are beyond remarkable parents that any child would be lucky to have.

    all these people who are being negative towards angelina jolie have lost the plot. where would all these kids be right now otherwise. rotting away in an orphanage and no one would really care, especially all these negative people. Has this world gone so mad that we now, spend our time nasitly bitching about someone trying to make a difference to kids lives in this world. good on her for using her celebrity status to make a difference, better that than hanging out at A-lister parties getting out of it. she donates time and money to charities and orphanages and has adopted kids who need a home and people want to have a go at her. Grow up and get a life all of you who want to knock her.

    I think it’s great that these kids are going to have a life away from where they came. But, I hope their parents learn some values and morals about running around on each other and what goes around comes around!!!

    the problem i have with all of this is that she makes the adopted children instant clebs and the whole world knows their names and everything about them. i think that she has a form an attention getting through children illness. instead of making the kids sick to get attention she adopts them and then makes them into props. she promotes all the photo ops and wants to have her picture taken with her children over and over..to create her “image”. i think she is a sad figure and example for adoption and motherhood. she is the worse example of a “stage mother” as i have ever seen.

    I’m appalled by the shallow, vicious, hate-filled attacks on the Pitts — primarily Angilina. How Christian! Janice even has the audacity to attack them on ‘moral’ grounds. Deliver us all from such evil! Just goes to prove how angered some are by beauty, fame and good fortune. Judging by the mentality expressed by so many low-life, judgmental, inbreeders… I can only wish the Pitts good fortune, while hoping Angelina and Brad can protect their children from having to deal with stupidity. Ha, good luck with that!

    hey jules, just because i think angelina is doing this for attention, does not mean im a redneck, quite the oppisite actually. we all have our opinions, angelina needs attention, and she uses innocent children to do it, period.

    I think it’s great when people want to adopt, regardless of what country the child is from. Does this mean that every person who adopts does it for unselfish reasons? Adopted children have been exploited and abused by some parents just as much as biological children. Has any social workers or psychologists investigated these Jolie and Pitt before the adoptions go through?

    Sometimes the abuse is not overt– the children are adopted out a misguided need for validation, from outside sources (hence the ever present publicity and photo ops Jolie and Pitt willingly indulge in). A parent’s instinct is to protect their child–why subject these kids to photo ops and all these mundane details? Let the kids be kids, regardlesss of their parent’s celebrity. Extensive travelling can be rough on kids, especially if they feel like they’re competing with someone in their parents lives–whether it’s drugs, a career, charity work, or a craving for adulation and “good” publicity.

    What’s worse is that some parents expect a young, un-understanding child to validate their feelings; when this doesn’t happen, the parent possibly retaliates with emotional/physical abuse. This can include neglecting the children or rotating “favorites” amongst the children.

    Not saying that Jolie and Pitt are abusive, but when adoption processes are rushed through (as they obviously were here) there is no way to check if the family envirmoment is indeed healthy, that the parents spend quality time bonding with their children, not just photo ops and public carrying abouts. It’s not about jealousy, it’s looking beyond good press and money to see how nurturing of a home enviroment there is.

    Bet they didn’t have to go through the home study and back ground checks to adopt. I agree with the majority here that feel she has an attention seeking illness otherwise why the media hoopla every time she collects a new child? Would be interesting to know how much time she spends actually raising her collection versus the time her paid mothers put in.
    Just another case of money talks..In this country if you’re rich and beautiful, the world is your oyster. I feel sorry for the children
    And p.s. for you bleeding hearts, I have 2 children, one adopted and one biological. I spent all my time with them AND raised them both WITHOUT NANNY’S AND HIRED MOTHERS.

    It’s all about helping non-white offspring. That’s why she called her own genetic child a “blob”. We all know Angelina Jolie would rather help a poor black or asian baby than a Russian baby with no parents.

    i would like to comment on what olivia said. First of all Angelina Jolies does adopt orphances. her Adoptive Daughter from Ethiopian mother died from aids and the vitmanese child was abandoned at birth. another thing you need to know is that they might be a long list for people waiting to adopt in the western countries but in third world countries their arent many people wanting to adopted children becuase of the lack of recourses. the orphanges are packed with children that needed families and any western couples that want to adopt are able to go to these countries and adopt faster. but offcourse they will need to go through all the necessary progress to see if they are fit parents to adopt a child from they countries. face it! many people in the western countries are not willing to adopt a child from a different racial group becuase they look to different from them. so here is a couple that can afford to look after a big family and dont care if the child is black or asian. this is actually a good explame of the rest of the world that a family can be a rainbow nation. an d this will teach a person not matter their race these people are still people and need to be respected. i think that is a good moral belief. now about that… hey we are all human beings and we make mistakes. that whats we do best. the thing is though we need to learn from those mistakes. and how says this couple has not? the differents between us the Brad and Angelina is that we dont have the press festting on our every mistake and magnifying 100 time bigger.
    about her using the press to show off the charity conferences that she attends of makes. the thing you need to know is thats one of the reasons that the UN accepted her to be the spoke person becuase a famous person like her will make us people care about whats happening in the world.its a sad fact but true not a lot of people will look at a middle age man talking about some t crisis that happening in some country you never heard about and how they need our help. tell me how many people will give a helping hand. how many people give a helping to the people that need a helping in their city? so hey everyone knows angelina jolie and her states will actually feed many people that need help and the medical treatment that they need. not matter how much you dislike the fact that she uses her face in these charity events her face brings a lot bucks to help people that dont have anything and not many people can do that.
    she is going a lot of good and she is not perfect thats why people like so much because she is just like you and me. she made a difference and putting stamp a in many peoples lives. how many people can actually say that. she will be an amazing mother because she gives and does not accepted in return thats what mother are suppose to do. to love uncondtional and to be kind. hasnt she proven time and time again the big heart she actually poposes? brad pitt will also be a good dad i dont know much about what his done but i think he has learnt a thing or two from the mama of his babies. they will good parents and their child are blessed to have them.
