Every time she or they set foot in another country, the adoption rumors start.

If they want to adopt more kids, great. But all of the kids are pretty young still, I think it would be a good idea to let them become a little more independent before adding more children to the family. And I still think they should settle down permanently somewhere so the kids can go to school and have some stability.

Brange cannot adopt from a country whose officials have any common sense. I bet they will go back to Ethiopia where any crazy can adopt or some where in Asia where child trafficking rules are lax. I wouldn’t let them adopt my pet pig. LOL

Yeah, it’s offensive to me at least. I get this mental image of Angie at least, spinning a globe and stopping it with her finger on a country to decide where she’s going to adopt next.

I’m sure there’s considerably more effort expended than that, but this, “one of this, one of that,” stuff makes me cringe. As does the declaration that they want to have a rainbow of children. Kids are kids and we have plenty of needy ones in this country in every color.

I don’t doubt you Snowball, no worries.

The thing is Africa is a multi-ethnic continent, it just so happens a lot of the people there are Black. So unless Jolie adopts from Ethiopia or Somalia, Zahara would have nothing in common with a child from oh, Cameroon for example. They certainly wouldn’t look “the same” except that they’re both Black.

Isn’t that oversimplifying, and frankly offensive to a lot of you? I mean if this is how Jolie actually thinks, f*ck me running, she’s an ignorant sack.

Whenever I see photos of AJ with normal looking people she looks absolutely freakish by comparison.

I hope they do get another african little girl or boy for the sake of Zahara, she needs to relate to someone from her own race. Although it would be nice is she adopted a latin boy or girl too.

No adoptions. Their relationship is done. Just for show now to save face. They realize they took on more kids than they can raise. They strike me as lazy parents who rely on help to get the basics done. I’m sure for the hired help it is like taking care of 8 kids.

Jesus please us, anybody with half a brain could have debunked that rumor as soon as it was launched. Jordan does not let non-Muslims adopt, and Muslim adoptive couples have to submit documentation that they are infertile. That rules out Brad and Angie on both counts.

BTW, Zahara does have two people in the extended Jolie-Pitt family who look like her. Julie Neal, Brad’s sister, adopted two little boys from Ethiopia last year.

I really like Brad’s necklace, but can’t make out details. Anyone know what it is? If you’d photoshop out the beard and the hat, he’d look so much better.
