I think what they are doing is great. There are so many children out in the world that need good parents. and it takes a very kind generous person to do what they are doing. I just hope for the best for them and hope everything goes good

Now that adoption officials have confirmed that Angelina Jolie, 31, is adopting a 4-year-old son from Vietnam, the question remains: When will the world get to meet the newest Jolie-Pitt?
The latest addition to Brad Pitt and Angelina's posse may be moving into the couple's $3.5 million New Orleans mansion sooner than you think.
The adoption procedure takes no more than four months, says Nguyen Cong Khanh, the deputy head of the country's International Adoption Department.
And the A-list actress won't be given any preferential treatment.
"[Jolie] will have to follow procedure like any other American," Vu Duc Long, head of the Ministry of Justice for Vietnam, tells Us.
Still, it's not out of the ordinary to speed up the adoption process when celebs are involved, à la Madonna's scandal with baby David Banda in October.
And there may be an added incentive to rush things along.
"She promised to give $2 million to the Tam Binh orphanage on the very day she receives the child," a Vietnamese insider tells Us. Of note: The actual adoption fee is only about $125. (Jolie's rep didn't respond to a request for comment; Pitt's rep had no comment.)
How will Maddox react to his new brother? What do Pitt's parents really think of their son's quickly expanding family? How is Jen coping with the adoption announcement?
For more details on the Brangelina adoption, check out the new issue of Us Weekly, on newsstands this week.

Wow!! Four kids, way to go. You guys are such loving people to adopt all these kids. Kids are the most precious individuals in the world. When you have kids their's no way to describe them they are so adorable, huggable, squeezable, and lovable. So, don't put these guys down come on people don't you even have a heart. Brad and Angie are doing a wonderful thing, for these kids. Now they can have a wonderful life and can have peace and a place to rest their little heads. Especially they have parents to love them. I say Brad and Angie ignore em people and continue with what you are doing. WE love you all and support you. Your kids are so beautiful.
OMG... You just don't see it!!! I think Brad and Angelina are doing a great, great job. They love kids that's all that matters.. Congrads and way to go Bran & Angie. Your true fans of Arizona's Navajo Reservation....
what kind of role models . that hi left his wife and get cozy with tramp stamp tattoo freak.
I think they are role models for all of us, so leave theme alone!
I think most of you should be ashamed. 1st, lets go back a few years. Were ANY of you in personal company with them when Brad and Jennifer split? Or when he hooked up with Angelina? I wasn't so I choose to withhold judgement as you all should to.
Now jumping ahead to the Jolie-Pitt clan. I personally know 2 families with 8 and 9 children respectively. These children all have and are growing up knowing they are loved and honored for being themselves. As we see with Brad and Angelina, they do not leave their children with nannies while they are off galavanting around the World. They take the kids with them. They also have the money to give a good life to as many children as they want to. The most important thing is that they grow up being able to spend time with their parents. It is NOT the amount of individual time. When a child grows up in a large family, they know that the parents cannot spend every minute with each child individually. They are okay with spending time as a family. Besides, with their children travelling the World, they are getting a much better hands on education than any of us sitting in cyberspace chatting about them.
I personally stopped at 4 children, but would have more if I could. Unfortunately I can't afford to adopt. If there ever comes a time I can afford it I would. My home with love, but less attention is a million percent better than growing up in an orphanage!
Hey Laney- Get on with your pathetic lil life. If you had a slight chance to be with Brad, you would dive right in, so GET OVER YOURSELF, quit being so LAMEY!
Angelina and Brad have 3 - soon to be four - beautiful children. They are hands on parents who dote constantly on their kids. Now they are taking another homeless orphan out of an orphanage to be raised as a member of their family. They are parents in every sense of the word and you should all be ashamed of yourselves. Why don't you waste your time trashing the people who abuse their children daily? The truth is, these babies are all part of something very special that is highly unusual in todays world. God bless them all.
I am glad these two can help others and adopt as many as they think they can afford (although there are only so many children that two adults can provide attention too) BUT, this is getting to be like Jennifer Lopez a few years ago. They are everywhere. Stop the publicity. I am in Brangelina overload up to my eyeballs. Also, stop the publicity on Anniston too. If she can't get over it by now, get her a shrink. If Angelina can't accept the fact she was dating a married man, she needs to get a shrink too then. I don't care anymore and I am sick of hearing about all three of them. I know all three can act unlike Jennifer Lopez but I don't want to see them unless they shave their heads or they are in a great movie. Next Anniston will jump into the adoption mania and Jolie and her will be trying to outdo each other in baby adoptions and they will be adopting waiting children with problems. I am sick of hearing about their personal lives and now it has become absurd. Perhaps they should be Brangeannilena since they are still maintaining the triangle thing it seems. Not that I was an Anna Nichole Smith fan but at least that situation gave me a break from those three. Hey, there is a baby for the three to adopt, save Dannilyn from being white trailer trash with money.
Doves LIghtning - You're KIDDING right? How is adopting a child not experiencing real motherhood? You can't honestly be that ignorant.I refuse to believe there are this many arrogant, ignorant people in the world.
You complain because Brangelina have so much money. If you don't like it (as every one appears not to). stop going to movies and adding to the billion dollar industry.
Just because she gets followed around doesn't mean her actions are any less humanitarian. Is a requirement anonymity?
She was wild before she had Maddox, but after she calmed down and that's when I started to like her. Whens the last time that she did anything that truly made her appear unstable?
My sisters who live across the country both just had babies (in august and november) when we got pictures of them at Christmas, I said I thought I liked the older one more because the younger one looked like a blob. So I guess I hate and will never be able to love my younger niece.
You're all right Bono is such a humanitarian. Especcialy since he made a company in Sweden where all of his money goes into so he doesn't have to pay American taxes. (Reported on about a month ago on abcnews.com) And then there's that time he spent $5,000 dollars to have his hat flown to him because he forgot it (in Rome I think). Besides that he's awesome.
Who cares if her celebrity status lets her adopt a bay quicker and easier than would be possiblee otherwise. Let's keep the baby there an extra year while everything is sorted out. Why don't we just leave the baby there to live in poverty.
Who cares if she only adopts "beautiful" children. Are they any less worthy of being adopted. And eveb if she is being shallow, she's still adopting a child.
In the end, I support Angelina because when I look at her I see love and serenity on her face
P.S. It's terrible to say that they will definately break up. And kind of hypocritical considering over half of marriages end in divorce
another souvenier- for only $2million. Come on you can do better.
I hope these children will be happy!
Before AJ seduced Brad, she only had Maddox for years. After she nailed Brad, there's 3 more. Obviously it's her insurance policy. The busier Brad is, the less time he can look around and the longer he stays with her. She knows kids are the way to Brad's heart. Even used Maddox to steal Brad. She is way too smart for him. That family is not what it really seems to be. Nannies have to sign confidentiality agreements so they can't talk.
Angelina is supporting a trend that hollywood has built. Adopt a kid so you don't have to birth one and really know what Motherhood is about. Oh yeah she did give birth to Shiloh a beautiful baby girl whom Angelina has shamelessly put off and actually spurrned with negative words. Gina is a Mother in Photo's only she cannot even come close to defining Motherhood.
It is a game to her Adopt a kid in a foreign country and make it look charitable and hire people to care for them. Real Motherhood is 24-7. Gina is a 5 minute Molly in everything she does.
And Brad hate to tell you this but your five minutes are up!
I never see her holding Shiloh on pictures.
And why can she adopt a child from Vietnam when other people have to be married?
I can't understand why people make such a fuss about the term "blob". Taking out of the context and start to make your own judgement shows how you are of full prejudices and have such a mental fragmentation!
BLOB in the context means that Shiloh is a newborn, innocent, not shaped nor influenced by social environment yet.
that's true, jolie-pitt fans from france.
LOVE the family, wonderful model for many other people.
"Shiloh seemed so privileged from the moment she was born. I have less inclination to feel for her...I met my other kids when they were 6 months old, they came with a personality. A newborn really is this...Yes, a blob! But now she's starting to have a personality...I'm conscious that I have to make sure I don't ignore her needs, just because I think the others are more vulnerable."
plus if you are going to trash talk make sure that you get the whole quote!!! thanks
u guys are so wrong...everything that this couple does is not for the media!!! did you guys hear about her ambassador duties? no!!! why? because she didnt broadcast them. the media follows their every move. and you guys honestly think that shes a media bleep? get a bleepin clue!!! the only reason that you hear anything is because of magazines, and reporters. they are the "big" stories....sad huh? and she does take care of her kids..if you guys even know what you are really talking about, you would know that she did say a blob because she was talking about giving birth!! and when they do come out, they do resemble that. the others are MORE privileged because of the life they had before they were adopted. you guys read into every little thing for what? to have some satisfaction for tearing her down to make your selves feel better? leave them alone, quit reading their stories and then maybe just maybe, they would be out of the spotlight. and people wouldn't have to spend 10 hours a day commenting on people that they will never meet, or get to know. its funny how people on here say that they are always talked about, when people are constantly wanting to know more. There are reasons why people would not want to be in this business. they are followed everywhere. how sad of a life that truly must be. so the moral of the story is...quit buying their magazines, quit trying to stalk, and then they wouldn't be the "big" news stories!!! let them live their life and live yours.
Angelina and Brad are really boring. I think they need to take a cue from Aniston and just try to get out of the spotlight. I get annoyed when I am reminded of how priveleged celebrities are. Not only are the financially secure for the rest of their lives but they can adopt several children at the snap of their fingers. The adoption process is really grueling for regular people. It can take years just to secure the adoption of one child and Angelina is miraculously able to "get her done" within a few short months. It's horribly insensitive for them to parade their adopted children around like it's so easy. It's extremely difficult for normal couples to adopt. Sometimes it's impossible. Angelina gets to just jump over to Vietnam and grab the cutest kid in the bunch and go right home. She doesn't have to put money aside, she can just buy it. I don't respect Angelina just because she can purchase children really easily. We all would if it was that easy. It's not that easy at all. I haven't seen Angelina appear at all to be sincerely interested in saving the world. She just wants a good looking tribe of foreign kids. What is so wonderful about her for doing that? She may be a great motehr and for the sake of her children I hope she is. But she's not a hero. Her lifestyle enables her to fork out money for adoption. Her lifestyle enables her to spend the rest of her life raising a brood of children without having to really work. She's priveleged. She's no more deserving of a happily ever after than the rest of us. She's no more deserving of the affection she receives in the media. Her intentions are completely unclear seeing as she only adopts pretty babies and talks trash about the biological one.
So ridiculous. They should start taking care of the children they have now. We already know Angelina doesn't like her blood relatives (except her brother..woo; she called her baby a "blob" while she likes her adopted kids better, and she hates her dad. What a great "mom" :P). Otherwise, it will end up a debacle a-la Mia Farrow and Woody Allen. Do we need a present-day couple like that?
WHAT A BUNCH OF NO LIFE LOSERS YOU ALL ARE!!
What those two are doing just self glorification. leave to the problem who does it right like Bone. Bono and other who give attention to the problem, instead of to themself.
Tell me who is talking about the problem when those appear. What everbody is talking how they look good togthere.
"Jolie's rep didn't respond to a request for comment; Pitt's rep had no comment."

man i'm glad you had the time to go back and see how many posts i'd made and the times. Good job. Glad you have so much time on your hands like I do. I don't have to work cause i'm just rolling in the money over here. Thats the whole point of this damn site is to voice your opinion.
Anon 9:14
I have no idea who E is. Never met her/him. Don't even know that much about him/her. All i know is there is ABSOLUTELY no excuse or need to use cuss words at someone on here. That's all. Get over yourself.
10:00 you miss the point. "..." means that there are comments in between those statements that are not included and therefore they ARE out of context. it also does not indicate a preference at all, unless you are reading into her words.
