Angelina Jolie to Adopt Vietnamese Child

Big Deal..........there are soooooooooo many people wanting to adopt a child who don't have the funds but having money to do so puts Angelina on the front page - I'm sorry - others less fortunate and less into themselves deserve just as much consideration and a whole lot less publicity for the rich ---------------

Good for her. If you don't know Angelina personally, you shouldn't judge her. If she really was so into herself, the last thing she would be doing is adopting a child!

This is truly wonderful - another orphan in the world is going to get a family. Who cares where she adopts from..... she is doing a wonderful thing. Brad and Angelina are going to be very busy parents :)

Why would anyone begrudge a child a loving home...So she can push through an adoption with her money! Great!! That is just that much less time a child spends in an orphanage!

At least they are doing some thing good with their money. You always hear about these stars throwing their money around for non essential things. At least they are giving these poor children a goood home.

I guess I just wonder why she does not adopt children here in the states? She seems to do a lot for other countries..........

Yes, it's great that she adopts orphans. That being said, just because someone is attractive, doesn't mean they're a great parent. I am sure her heart is in the right place, but is anyone truly monitoring her parenting skills. How will she cope when it's best for her children to go to school full time and have some kind of routine that's stable. At the age of these kids when they're pre-school age, yes she can take them all around the world, whenever she wants. But what how will SHE cope when it comes time to where it's best for the kids to stay put, establish friends, and a routine? I sincerely hope this all works out, but she's taken on a lot of children in a VERY short period of time. It's starting to get "weird".

I agree w/Mia - It is wonderful that she is giving these children a loving beautiful home. But what about the children here in the US

Children here know about labor laws......

If you don't have the funds to adopt the child where will you get the funds to raise the child...a little common sense before writing moronic comments please

I guess adopting all those others didn't releive her guilt for being the husband stealing wh*** she is. Maybe 1 more child will help.

Oh and charity begins at home. How about adopting children right in her backyard. Oh that might not get international attention thats right.

She'd be a horrible poker player. At the rate she is drawing kids, she won't even wind up with a matching pair. Well except for the pair she was born with and those might I say..........

Why is she adopting as a single parent? I'm curious as to why Brad's name isn't on those papers, too.

great! another kid for the nanny to take care of.

I agree with Carey. She has adopted many kids in a couple years and takes them all globe trotting. Maddox is of school attending age. Is the family settling down in New Orleans. Also, is there trouble in paradise as Angy filed as a single parent?

What difference does it make where a child comes from. Many common folks that adopt here in US only want a WHITE child, blonde hair & blue eyes. I think Angelina only sees a little child, no color or stigmas........ GOOD FOR HER!!!!

Because they are not married. Just like with the others, he will adopt them here, after she brings them home.
