An update on Angelina Jolie’s new son Pax, straight from the Orphanage

by Sherry on March 20th, 2007

A Vietnamese newspaper has an article up with some great quotes from the director of the Tam Binh Orphanage, including a statement from Angelina Jolie that Pax no longer cries and lets her approach him easily.

He said this about Angelina’s method to meeting Pax:

“He cried so hard that I wanted to scold him. But Jolie stopped me. She patiently soothed him for almost 20 minutes.

Also, he mentioned that it was almost funny how there were minor similarities between the parents and the children they adopted - a bald man adopting a child with little hair for instance. He was asked what similarities he could see between Angelina Jolie and Pax and he laughed.

“I think he is like Brad Pitt rather than Jolie. Sang is as naughty and smart as any character played by Pitt. Brad Pitt is very easy. Last year when he came here, he asked me where the restroom was and I showed him the way to a public restroom. And he walked straight there.”

Trung went on to say that sometimes foster parents bring gifts and candies to the children in the orphanage but Angelina didn’t bring candies or donation pledges.

Mr. Trung said perhaps she was too happy to think about candies. He heard that when she adopted Maddox, she didn’t make any promise either. But one year after, she returned to Cambodia with large-scale charity works.

If you ask me, she probably didn’t bring any money or gifts because the media had already speculated so often that she was using her money to fast-track the adoption - media reports said she had promised $2 million U.S. to the orphanage. However, Trung explained that was not at all true.

“She didn’t even promise $ 2.000, let alone $ 2 million. If she donated, it would be great for the children here. But we didn’t bring up the issue. We were already very glad that she adopted [Pax],” Mr Trung said.

I’m willing to bet that she will make a pledge to the orphanage at a later date, just like she did for Maddox, once it’s late enough that no one can accuse her of buying off her new son.

As for Pax’s general health, Trung said that he was born with some liver problems but 15 months later it was cleared up and by now he was perfectly healthy.
