Angelina Jolie talks to a Vietnamese newspaper about Pax Thien
March 16, 2007 by Sherry
The Associated Press has reported that Angelina Jolie has done an interview with a Vietnamese newspaper, talking about her growing family.
Right now, Angelina is looking forward to being with her growing family, focusing on their needs and helping her newest son, Pax Thien adjust to his new life.
“I will stay at home to help Pax adjust to his new life,” Jolie told the Ho Chi Minh City Law newspaper. “I have four children and caring for them is the most important thing for me at the moment. I’m very proud and happy to be their mother.”
The article goes on to mention that since she arrived in Vietnam on Wednesday night, Angie has been trailed by a constant stream of reporters and photographers, having been followed from the orphanage where she took custody of Pax all the way to the Ministry of Justice for Thursday’s official ceremony.
She worries about how this media frenzy will affect him and is sorry he has been exposed to it.
“Photographs and press coverage will make him upset,” Jolie said in the interview, which was published in Vietnamese. “I’m very worried about that. I would like to say I’m sorry for bringing this into Pax’s life.”
Angie confided to the paper that she has wanted to adopt since she was very young, and now that she has the ability to provide a family for orphaned children she can’t see any reason not to adopt.
A nurse from the orphanage said that no one on staff was aware that either Angelina Jolie or Brad Pitt were celebrities back when they first visited at Thanksgiving.
“They looked very much like ordinary people,” said Bui Thi Bich Tuyen. “We thought that they were just an ordinary couple that wanted to play with the kids and give them presents. They brought lots of toys.”
Jolie shared crayons and drew pictures with the kids.
“We could already see that she had a heart for children,” said Tuyen, the nurse who had been in charge of raising Pax ever since he was brought to the orphanage as an infant.

What a wonderful soul!! I totally love this family… I just hope that the media will give them some privacy at this point so that Pax can adjust… I truly believe her and Brad’s sincerity in giving kids chance to have better lives… God Bless them and much love!

What is so great about Angie’s adoptions is that now she is not alone. She has the support and love of a good man in Brad. I am so happy for these two gorgeous people. They are both giving and compassionate. These children are truly
blessed to have Brad and Angie as parents.
HOTTEST COUPLE EVER— ITA, BAMPZS are really a family that should be admired. Pax is so lcky to join this wnderful family.

I think it’s really great that Angelina Jolie has adopted three children, all from different countries. She is providing a better life for them and seems to be a really great mother. Unfortunately, the media attention that she and her family get may be a little too much for these little kids, but it also is an advertisement of sorts to promote adoption.
that’s one good-looking boy. he already resembles the jolie-pitt family, i think.
Hey Guli…thanks for that great slide show.
God….
is this happening to fast or we just don’t realize that the time is passing so fast? =P
It’s amazing to watch the expanding of the Jolie Pitt family.
Since being with brad, Angie added one child every year. at 2004 it was only she and mad against the world. at 2005 came the lovely Zahara. at 2006 beautiful shiloh came out. and now at 2007 she has this cute Pax.
call me stupid, but every time i read about the pick up of pax from the orphanage, i always have tears in my eyes. tears of happiness of course…=p
