Angelina Jolie is on her way home to the US, with her newly adopted son Pax Thien.
The pair left Vietnam in a private jet this morning to reunite with Brad Pitt and the couple's three other children at home in New Orleans. Jolie successfully obtained a visa from the American embassy in Hanoi to allow the three-year-old child into the United States.
Jolie has previously claimed that she will not let her work affect her new child, and insists she will stay with him: "I will stay home with Pax and help him adjust to his new life," she said last week. "I have four children, and caring for them is the most important thing to me at the moment."
Well I have had my rant about this in the Rant Thread especially as there are loads of kids in British Ophanages that need a home...
I see Victoria Beckham has recently decided she too is going to go this route and adopt one of these children from abroad...but she said that she will not be doing it 'madonnas way'...
Im all for children being loved and supported but in this country we have some children who have suffered terrible abuse and some of them are not even a year old...I do wish Celebrities would realise that when one does something they all seem to do the same....I would like them to look nearer to our own shores on occasion...
...mind you, the whole thing still reminds me of 'dog in a handbag' type fashion for the tabloids rather than true concern....at the end of the day, these people will always have a 'news story' and reason to stay in the press if they want to keep mentioning about the progress of their 'adopted child'.
I tell ya...Im a grumpy old cow sometimes...
