Angelina Jolie to Adopt from Syria
Ever have those feelings when you just know something is missing, but you don't know what that something is? I've been feeling that way lately, I keep wandering around, rummaging through drawers, blankly staring at the TV. But I think I've finally figured out what was missing. We haven't heard anything about Angelina Jolie or Brad Pitt adding to their family. Angelina Jolie hasn't added to her family through adoption since completing the adoption of little Pax from Vietnam in 2007. And she hasn't given birth since the twins joined the Jolie-Pitt crew in July 12, 2008. Well, guess what - she is adopting again! This time Angelina Jolie is looking to adopt a little girl from the Asian country of Syria and her partner, Brad Pitt's name is not on the adoption paperwork. Some are saying this means that Brad Pitt is against the adoption. I think some people have forgotten that Angelina adopted Pax singly as it went against Vietnam law for an unmarried couple to adopt a child. Pitt then adopted Pax once he got home. This could very well be the case with this latest adoption.
Congrats to the family! I'm looking forward to reading more about the new addition to the Jolie-Pitt family.

ANGELINA JOLIE - JOLIE TO ADOPT AGAIN - REPORT
Brad and Angelina are child hoarders. I find their international “shopping” for children nauseating and infuriating!!!!
Ok, I keep seeing this but here is the catch. If they are not married, legally she is a single parent and has to adopt as such. She can not adopt as a married couple if she isn’t married. Her social worker will have had to interviewed the people in the home, so the idea that Brad is against this seems like a way to get publicity, but the reality of how adoptions are done, means it just isn’t happening this way.
Congratulations to the growing family.
I don’t understand how this is even possible. Sharia law doesn’t provide for the adoptionl adopting Muslim children is forbidden and Syria wouldn’t recognize it. The few Christian churches there don’t handle adoptions. So how is such an adoption facilitated? I’m all for her right to adopt as many children as she can care for and it’s not my place to tell her how to build her family. My question is why are national laws being bent for her when the rest of the world has to obey by them? The only logival answer is money / fame. Which then fulfills the widespread notion that adoption = baby buying. It perpetuates an awful stereotype that so many of us are trying to challenege.
