She changed her life before she started bringing children into it. Unless you know what it's like to be adopted then shut up. I'm originally from China, and yes I'm adopted. I have 2 brothers and 2 sisters that were also adopted from other countries. All of us were between the ages of 3 to 8 when we were adopted. Nobody has to worry about the kids adapting to eachother because kids have no prejudice or hate unless they are taught it. They will bond naturally. Changing his name is no big deal either so leave it alone. Also being in an orphanage in the United States is much better than a foreign country. I give 3 months TOP and he'll be completely fluent in english. I spoke english in 1 1/2 months and even my eldest brother in 2 months. It doesn't bother me what country people adopt children from because a homeless kid is homeless kid. Most orphanages in 3rd world countries don't have the same standards as orphanages in the United States so I would not compare them as being far from fair.

What's sad is most people want infants/babies only to adopt so the older kids start getting bigger and bigger and others have told me "your going to adopt problems" if you get a kid other than a toddler. This is not true at all. I praise her for not always adopting babies.

Angelina has done nothing but shown love to these kids. She's doesn't drink, smoke, or drink. She's not getting pulled over for DUI's or partying till the morning. When she was wild she didn't not have children in her life. And NO she never broke any laws then either. Having a lifestyle that's different that yours or different beliefs is not angainst the law.

I with most celebrites would adopt like her. We all know the have the finiancial means and plenty of room in all their homes to provide for a bunch of kids.

"But poor children in American suffer just as much as children born in other countries."

People who say that poor children suffer just as much as children born in other countries...do you mean orphaned children in America suffer too?

If so, I agree. What makes it very hard for orphaned and abandoned children is the emotional scars that it leaves and not knowing if you are going to stay in an orphanage for a long time or who you are going to be passed off to and you have no consent as a child.

Just because a child lives in America as an abandoned child doesn't mean that they are better off because they get more food.

We have people here that suffer as well. Look at what happened with Hurrican Katrina! When other countries need help, we are there within a day. When our own members need help, it takes a week! How would you feel if nobody came to save you because well, you live in America so you aren't bad off anyway.

It's starting to cross connect with Angelina's patterns.

She ends up with guys (or seduces guys) that are already taken. (I guess maybe she feels that she is adopting him and taking him away from a bad home with a lesser woman than herself?)

She's done this several times and actually I can't think of one person other than Johnny Miller who did not have a girlfriend or was married at the time.

Angelina likes her adopted children more than Shiloh. Oh great Angelina, just repeat the pattern of lack of attention and place it on Shiloh and treat her as if she doesn't exist because she's privelaged enough to have come out of your bleep and is an American.

Now when Shiloh grows up, she won't really be emotionally privelaged and she'll be bad press for you later down the road. Let's just hope Brad pays enough attention to her to make up for how her mother ignores her because she's a privelaged blob.

For everyone that thinks she's going to be a stay at home mom like promised think again. She has 3 projects lined up. While Brad looks exhausted, she looks vibrant.
Ask any mother that isn't rich enough to afford a nanny who they think looks after the kids and she will tell you Brad. Mother's get tired after a while and it shows in their face. Angie doesn't have that look about her but Brad does.

If anyone remembers what it was like being a child you would know that money wasn't what made you happy but being loved, having attention, being fed, being held, having friends, being around familiar surroundings is what made you happy.

Sociopaths were brought up with no emotional support and parents that spoiled them with materials so during their developmental years, they did not learn nor appreciate the value of things and the value of emotions.

I think brad should dump aj and take shiloh and let jen raise her.

Hey A!

Your such a loser!!! get a life....

2.16 anon
you are funny:)

God could not be everywhere and therefore he made mothers....

... and Angelina is one of the most beautiful mothers besides one of the most talented actresses and one of the most intelligent UN-embassadors... She does not need to prove it, she IS already and IS chosen for it by many.

YOU PEOPLE ARE SO DAMN JELIOUS. IF YOU DON'T LIKE HER STOP READING ABOUT HER. GET OVER YOURSELVES TOO. SHE DOESN'T ASK FOR THE PHOTO HOUNDING NOW THAT SHE HAS CHILDREN. SHE LOVES THE CHILDREN SHE HAS. AND AS I REMEMBER IT EVERY DAMN WOMAN HAS THE CHOICE TO CHANGER HER MIND AT ANY GIVEN TIME. I THINK SHE IS SITTING BACK LAUGHING AT THE ONES OF YOU THAT HATE HER SO THINK I AM HAPPY AND THEY AREN'T THATS WHY THEY ARE SO HATEFUL. AJ IF YOU EVER READ THESE I AM SO HAPPY FOR YOU AND AS FAR AS YOU BEING BI, I AM TOO SO I HAVE NO PROB AT LEAST YOU DON'T HIDE IT IN TODAY MEDIA MADDNESS LIKE SOME STARTS. NO NAMES DROP (TOM CRUISE)... YOU GO AJ!!!!!!!!

Sorry but just 2.5 years ago I rememberafter she had Maddox her doing an interview and saying she will always have multiple sex partners and that she will never ever have a child of her own. She said women are selfish to have their own where there are so many orphans all over the world.

Shilo was nothing more than a way to make sure Brad left Jenn and if you think this woman has changed, come on!

She is an admitted bisexal,you can't just "change" that. She loves to french kiss her brother, she loves to drink blood and get crazy in bed with knives. She loves to cut her self during sex, these are things coming out of her mouth 2.5 years ago. Don't think she has changed. You are all just feeding her passion for being in the tabloids all the time.

Brad Pitt's bleep will probably fall off or she will get alittle happy with a knife in bed and cut it off.

If she was trying to do this in the US she would never get away with it. 1.) she would have to have a psychological test to see if she is fit. They do background checks and check into your past. So we all know what she was like. I do not believe for 1 second she has changed. She is just hiding it now. 2.) they would never let anyone adopt 2 kids in less than 12 months as well as have a child on their own.

I work for DSSH and I know this woman should be evaluated.

If she really was the loving mother she is claiming then she would allow each child to bond and gain security before snatching them out of their life.

These kid is adopted is healthy, cared for, fed and has friends. A 4 yr old is not going to understand being taken out of his "HOME" and wisked off to another country, renamed ( because she is selfish) and thrown into a new home where no one speaks his language.

How terrifying that will be. She waltzed in there with 2 big body guards and spent 20 minutes with this kid before she took him.

SO just what did she use to choose him???? His looks? his race? The fact that they said he was smart?? It's a shame!

And the more you all keep praising her, the more she will do this.

Money does not buy happiness. This kid is not going to have a doting Mom. He is going to have nannies, nurses and body guards. That is not normal.

Men like her because they fantasize about those inflated lips......Women like her because they are thinking she is a hero for collecting orphans.And she care for all these kids herself. ROFL She has a full staff you fools! She gets up and leaves her home and the kids with the staff and checks into hotels for 4 days at a time to "study her french" because the kids are making too much noise.

Yeah right. She needs to get some girl on girl action. She was a self proclaimed bisexual for her whole life. She said if she could she would have married Jenny Shimizu. So being a bisexual just doesn't go away.

Guess Brad is getting what he deserves.

Here we go again. AJ collecting another child. Anyone with a right mind would know it is not healthy for any children to not have the proper bonding time. 3 kids in 1 yr? She just loves being in the press so much that she will just keep this up.

Each kid has 2 body guards, a nurse and 2 nannies....OK so now how is this alot of work for AJ?

These kids are never smiling or laughing. I think I saw 1 pic of Maddox smiling.

She does nothing that she doens't get recognition for and has to have the camera's all over her.

I can't stand her. She is a fraud.

I deeply respect Angelina Jolie. She was a lost soul few years ago, but she found herself. I admire what she is doing, and always will.She is the artist I like the most.We should all care for what is happening in our sick World. She is a wise woman who saved herself before saving anybody else. Now she is happy, and she is helping people in need. BRAVO!

none of you seem to be thinking about the boy long term
did you realize he has a much better life now?

also, while it may be bad to change his name now, its much better off in the long term

pax is much easier to say than
pham quang sang
and trust me, i know what its like to have my name butchered

many times i have wished i had an easier name so that others here could pronounce it better

aj has done a great thing in keeping his middle name as thien because it preserves some of his vietnamese culture.

According to the orphanage's director, Nguyen Van Trung, "He's the smartest and cleverest among the kids."

No shizzit. Like Angelina would adopt a kid with learning disabilities, muchless one who is ugly or even has a mild physical disability.
