Unfortunately she said herself that she adopted Pax for Maddox. I think it wrong of her to change his name at his age..I don’t like her and never will, she has serious mental problems, which will affect her kids later in thier life..sad

i’m ashamed so many are knocking on Angelina for adopting a child.

okay, so she didn’t adopt an American child. Our adoption system as poor as it is, is far better than those in the impoverished areas of Asia and Africa. Most American orphans have a better system looking out for them, do you really think the most of the orphans in Cambodia or Vietnam have even a fraction of the chances American orphans have?!?

And for those who so ignorantly claim Angelina as a camerawhore who just picks up stray orphans on whim…your incredibly foolish. She has the money, resources, time and knowledge to do things the right way.

People don’t judge. I commend those who find this story heartwarming, it is.

She’s taking in a child. For the haters out there, what did you ever do? Please tell me. Cuz if you know Angelina personally and have adopted a few children yourself, than i think you may have a right to say something negative.

I have to say that we will only know which children did better in 20 years. who is to say that Pax won’t be on drugs like all the others hollywood children? And whose to say that some of the boys he played with won’t be educated and doing well. If they truly wanted what was best for this child they would have moved to the country for a time and first vistied him every day, then had him stay overnight, etc. Make the transition a bit better. Pulling ahcild way in one day from everything that is fimiliar causes attachment disorder. This will affect him for the rest of his life, and not in a good way. Really thi adoption is all about Angie and not about what is best for the child.

and you are going to take perezhilton’s word on what foreign adoption is all about? puh-leeze. i’ve done three foreign adoptions. two babies and a three year old like pax. of course a child is going to cry when taken away from his HOME. it might take him a while to adjust – many months, who knows? she’s doing the right thing by taking time off to be with him and the other kids, to help pax and this family meld together. changing child’s name when adopted is a completely normal thing to do. someone said, “at three, he is learning to write his name, you should’t change it, etc. etc.” what a laugh. learning to write…in Vietnamese, not English. pax will have a new language to learn, a new life, everything. the name change is the least of his concern. most adoptive parents do a name change, though i do wish she would have kept his given vietnamese name as his middle name and given him the first name of her choice (i.e. Pax Vietnamese name Jolie, or Jolie-Pitt, as it will be as soon as Brad adopts him in the u.s.). but anyway, this adoption is totally regular and ordinary, as much as foreign adoptions can be regular and ordinary. and as much as i am soaking up all the news and pictures about him, her, them…this little guy does NOT need the paparrazzi storming them whenever they are out. imagine the fear factor there?? he’s left his whole life behind and now he’s being swarmed by people with cameras and shouting in his face? it will be better when they are home in the states and their own security detail can keep the vultures at bay.

the child was crying because his caretakers at the orphanage didnt tell him what was going on.

um, how is it that everyone KNOWS for sure that Angelina is a good mom?? um, because you saw her anorexic legs walking beside brad pushing a stroller? yeah, that is a big indicator of what goes on behind closed doors. not.

I wish the little guy the very best. I hope he gets all the love and happiness he could ever want. Having Maddox there was brillant. I think he can really help Pax through all this. Kids seem to be able to communicate with one another under any circumstances. Pax sure is a cutie!!

Ginny, please, They love the photographers, have you ever seen Angelina with a sour look on her face when they are around. She probably invited them.
