Angelina Jolie Adopts Another Child So She Can Forget About Her Own
Honestly, I am only writing about this because, well, I guess I am expected to. But to be honest, I can’t really even try to pretend that I give a crap that Angelina has adopted another third world child. She’s an actress, not the second coming. Mia Farrow has probably adopted like fifty poor children and certainly doesn’t make it an after-school special everytime.
Three-year-old Pham Quang Sang, who has been renamed Pax Thien Jolie, was picked up from the Tam Binh orphanage in Vietnam.
Little Pax Thien (whose name means “peace” in Latin and “sky” in Vietnamese) cried when he met his new family, whom he’d never seen before. “Jolie was very moved,” said Nguyen Van Trung. “Both of them tried to comfort the little boy.”
She changed his name. I just really don’t think I need to point out what bullshit that is. I have a three-year-old and I can’t even imagine how emotionally confusing that would be to suddenly be snatched up by a she-witch, given a new name and then dropped off with some nannies. She is a relentless succubus who destroys the kind notion of adoption. Newsflash Angelina, children aren’t pets. You are a soulless and sick.
Don’t get me wrong, I am all for adopting. It is completely noble and selfless, but not how she does it. Here’s the thing about Angelina Jolie that no one has seemed to understand, she is a self-loathing crazy person.Â
She loves these adopted children more than her own flesh and blood. She called Shiloh a “blob” and has made it clear she relates to her adopted children on a deeper level than her own daughter. That’s rotten. Children are much better at sensing this sort of thing than parents give them credit for. Shiloh is ten-months-old and Angelina is adding yet another child in her home. Ugh, how selfish. Little babies need CONSTANT attention. Not from nannies or caregivers, but from their parents. Thank goodness Brad seems to truly love his daughter. This is why you always see pics of him holding her, and not Angelina. Mark my words, Shiloh is going to grow up with some serious problems with her mother.
You want to impress me Angelina. Try spending some time with your child, the one YOU brought into the world. Give her what SHE needs. Charity begins at home you loony-toon. You want to save a child, save Shiloh from growing up thinking that her mother doesn’t love her because she was born into privilege. I feel deeply for Shiloh, that’s who I am sad for.  Angelina really is awful.
I have never bought her act and I never will.Â

I seriously doubt she called her child a “blob”. If she did I’m sure she didn’t mean it maliciously. Angelina is a wonderful woman. There’s nothing wrong with adopting children. She can give them a better life than they ever would have had in their own country. Also, let’s not forget that BRAD also has a role in this. He’s doing the same thing she is.

When she collects the whole set, does she win a set of steak knives?
Comment by DJRadiohead — March 15, 2007 @ 1:41 pm
Um, she did indeed call her daughter a blob, as well as saying that she connected with her adopted children on a deeper level. I will connect to the article for reference.

I find it all a bit too much. She has all these kids and a full time career…. but i guess it must be better than an orphanage.

What a crackpot she is. I feel sorry for Shiloh as well. Adoption is a wonderful thing, but what about all the kids in THIS country looking for a family? No, I guess that wouldn’t be as news worthy.
Comment by dbreeze14 — March 15, 2007 @ 2:06 pm
I am relieved to hear someone else make the reference to “pets” in her adopting patterns. Kids are not stray cats or dogs…nor are they “souveniers” from each country that has “moved” you in some way.
I too saw the article where she identified more with the other children than Shiloh….because of where the children came from. Well, Shiloh didnt exactly control where she came from either, so why should she be shorted mother’s love/attentions because of it?
I am no expert on what is going on in her head either, but for the sake of those children…I hope she knows what she is doing…..and actually MEANS it.

she did call her baby a blob in her interview, and GREAT FREAKING ARTICLE!!! very well put together and i am beginning to agree totally!
Comment by boo — March 15, 2007 @ 2:17 pm
Look, I am not against her adopting children. I don’t even care where she adopts them from, but after reading that article, context or not, it raised some serious red flags with me. Anyone who has ever been adopted knows that feelings of insecurity come with the territory, especially in a blended family. But certainly a biological child should never feel pushed aside so as to spare the feelings of the others. It’s a sick thing.
I also believe that Angelina is deeply depressed and does not like herself and this is how it manifests itself, but trying to fill some kind of missing whole in her soul.
If she would look inward and change her overall outlook and behavior, she might find she can easily devote her life to the children she has and make the world a better place right there at home.
There are other ways of helping children and filling your soul.
Comment by dmdo1016 — March 15, 2007 @ 2:20 pm
i couldnt agree more! she can’t even stay with one partner let alone be committed to a herd of children! and once all these kids dont want to move around with her all the time then what? they are going to want an identidy separate from thier parents and i think she is going to make that difficult for them. i think she’s incredibly selfish. its a lifelong comittment, she treats it like a publicity stunt. leave those poor kids alone!
Comment by gertie — March 15, 2007 @ 2:22 pm
yeeash. she needs to take care of her children. She’s too famous, and she just wants MORE. She’s gotta not be in movies for a while and spend time with her kids. And that whole changing the name thing, thats SO awful.

Mother Superior is a magnet for class. This site does pretty well rule.

I think its Ridicules that all of you think its right to sit around and judge a women that none of you know. None of us live at home with this family, nor are we around Angelina on a day to day basis therefore how can you even begin to judge her, and to assume that she does not have love for one of her children because you do not see constant pictures of her holding the child is crazy. All of you need to stop judging this women, because you do not know her or understand what her life is like behind closed doors.
Comment by ava — March 15, 2007 @ 4:44 pm
Ava, by Angelina’s virtue of being in the public eye, she is absolutely fair game for scrutiny, criticism and judgment.
She could have just as easily lived a quiet life out of the limelight, but of course, she’s an ego-maniacal attention-whore, like all celebrities. It’s what they do. Some just do it with less need to be paid attention to, like Tom Hanks. I like him. Angelina, not so much.
Comment by dmdo1016 — March 15, 2007 @ 5:37 pm
it was the interviewer who suggested the word blob angelina didnt think it, i agree with ava and brad is alo adopting the child and i have seen other pictures of angelina holding shiloh i doubt she is missing out on eny thing, i boliave you who ever wrote this article is the souless one, alot of people have been mad at her for over something that beggan 2 years ago if she wernt with pitt no one would be making a big deal over this, i dont see brad pitt leaving he wants to be there.
Comment by dark faith — March 15, 2007 @ 5:49 pm
I’ve really not liked Angelina since her and Brad got together…She seems like a homewrecker, and I think after she adopted one child, she got praise for it, so my guess is that she wants to keep it coming. How dare she change the child’s name? That’s really not right. She better realize what she’s doing, and decide that their lives are more important than any praise she’s squeezing out of this.
Comment by Allison — March 15, 2007 @ 7:34 pm
What’s wrong with changing the kid’s name?. A lot of people have changed their names. Once Ms. Jolie became the mother of the child, she has the right to change her son’s name. I am sure the Vietnamese people don’t care if the kid’s name has been changed. Why shouldn’t you?. Leave them alone. Ms. Jolie has done a wonderful job and all of you should be proud of. God bless Angelina and her family. The most important thing is that the kid will have a better life and everyone should be happy for him.
Comment by WENDY — March 16, 2007 @ 3:45 pm
I hate when people say, “What about the children in America that need homes? Why adopt from a different country when children in the United States need homes?”….if you feel that way, then YOU ADOPT A BABY FROM THE U.S.! Seriously!! And just for the record, it is EXTREMELY difficult to adopt a child in the US, under the age of 3, unless you want to adopt 6 siblings who have been abused.
Angelina doesnt make a scene out of adopting children….the media does.
Comment by googs — March 16, 2007 @ 8:41 pm
Thank God! God Bless You! You have nailed this on the head!!! This woman is nuts! I have two internationally adopted children and the fact that she parades hers around is soooo obnoxious. She wants everyone to believe that she has ’saved’ them. What kind of bulls&*t is that to lay on your child for the rest of his/her life.
We kept our children’s names as we thought it was the only connection they had left to their Birth mother and country. Also, I would never treat my child like a toy doll… meaning no matter how cool I think colored streaks and mohawks are, I would never force this along with painted black nails upon him before he’s really ready to make that choice. What if Maddox just wants to wear plaid shirts and just sort of ‘blend’ in. This kid is also going to need serious therapy. This is all just a slippery slope into Joan Crawford Crazytown! As soon as these kids develop their own personalities and lives, Ange is going to freak. It’s impossible for borderline narcissistic personalities to handle any kind of independence of those they wish to control and who they rely on to support and define their own existence. Something tells me her little freak bubble is about to burst with this third child. Attachment in adoption is difficult. It takes a great deal of one on one time. Not one on 3 other children time. She’s barely had enough time to attach to Shiloh (maybe not at all) and Zahara. Someone is going to lose??
I think adoption is beautiful and I adopted two children at the same time, but it’s difficult… very difficult. Not one therapist on the planet would recommend her to adopt again this soon after two adoptions and a birth child. They would, however, recommend that she start taking her mood stabilizers again immediately. Someone HELP her! STOP her!
Comment by Stop Ange Org — March 17, 2007 @ 2:58 am
You’re SO right - my first thought when I read about her most recent adoption is why on earth would you rename a 3 year old child?! He’s not a pet! In fact, I probably wouldn’t even rename a pet… And he doesn’t speak any English - does Angie speak Vietnamese? How terrifying is that for this little boy? His new “mother” can’t even speak with him in his native language? Will she communicate with pouty stares and hand signals for now?
Comment by Jen — March 17, 2007 @ 12:01 pm
Though i find the news a bit disconcerting and with this i try to take it (Angelina’s actions) with a grain of salt, those people who scream for local adoption should do a research first. like in the US, it isn’t easy to adopt kids in Western Europe. Not only it is expensive and full of red tape, it takes years till the documents can be ready for processing.
Comment by Elen — March 17, 2007 @ 8:10 pm
The renaming of the child makes no sense and provides benefits only to Angelina. The meanings are more appealing to her, more poetic and so somehow in her mind, obviously elevates her (in her mind) for “rescuing” this child. If he were an infant it would be more acceptable, he wouldn’t know his name yet. Now he’s facing melding into a new family where possibly no one speaks his language, he’ll be eating different food, and strangers will be calling him a strange name. Man, poor kid.
Perhaps she’ll add a Vietnamese nanny to the household.

K you people that are talking shit need to grow up. God Angelina is such a wonderful person. So what if she changes their names. She means well and I think its a wonderful thing. I dont see all you shit-talkers out there helping the world like she does. And here is an idea instead of writing a shit talking website on Angelina why dont you get a life and write a good one on that woman you were talking about that adopts poor children. God you people need to get a life. And she treats Shilon just fine. Maybe she doesn’t hold Shiloh as much because Brad is selfish. I think she can do better then him. I think he is only in it for the kids. Thats what he wanted from Jen and she never gave it to him so he left. He finally got his way with Angie and now he is keeping Shiloh for himself. People just need to grow up!
Comment by Angie-lover — March 21, 2007 @ 6:14 pm
Also, instead of sitting here talking shit on something that is NONE of anyone’s business but Angie’s why don’t you get out there and help just like she is. She isn’t using this thing to make herself look good. If that’s honestly what you think then you need to do some research before you invade someones personal life, and make up a websit about them. She is wonderful.. I love you Angie keep living like you are and ignore all these people that dont have anything better to do then talk shit! Lots of love
Comment by Angie-lover — March 21, 2007 @ 6:21 pm
Some of us “bashers” have done charity work for many years–unlike Jolie’s dramatic jump on the bandwagon, where nary a photographic opportunity is missed. It was the same with her marriages, her drug use and cheating. Plenty of unfamous and famous people have helped charities for years–they don’t publicize it like Jolie and Pitt do. She acts the way some people act about sex, drugs or gambling—obsess enough over it, and people will give you all the positive and negative attention you seem to crave. It must fill some kind of emotional void.
Many people have adopted children, but the issue here is whether or not Jolie and Pitt’s home is a good enviroment for all these children to grow up in. It’s not about money or 24/7 nannies–are Jolie and Pitt full time parents? Is travelling all the time, sharing parents with PR staff, journalists, and 80 hangers on healthy for small children? Don’t think so. The poster who talked about Joan Crawford has it right–just because someone adopts doesn’t make them a great person, are they really spending time bonding with their children? There has always been something very proplike about the way these children are continously bandied about. If Jolie and Pitt want to be good parents, retire from moviemaking, avoid interviews and publicity and live quietly with their kids and their charity projects. Then I’ll say they’re normal.
Comment by George — March 25, 2007 @ 10:07 am
I couldn’t have said it better George.
I get the distinct impression that Brad isn’t exactly on board with all these adoptions. I think he digs his bio-child and feels this incredible need to protect her. What that tells me, is that he knows Angelina isn’t giving her baby the time and attention that she needs.
That is really sad. These two WILL NOT last.

I feel sorry for all 4 publicity stunts–I mean kids. As soon as talk about her life or interest in a film she was in goes down there’s another adoption, another media run. Notice the pattern? By years end or early part of next year, another adoption will be through and she’ll be posing with child 5.
