  What?!?!? How Can “psychologists” Think There Is Something Wrong With A Woman Who Wants To Love And Care For Abandoned Children? Not Only Were Their Comments Ignorant They Were Also Sexist. Brad Also Wants A Large Adopted Family So Why Not Tear Apart His Past? I Dont Care For O’Reilly Either But Im Glad He Was There To Defend Our Girl

  Hi, Sherry…hope your daughter is feeling better.

  Hello JPfaithfuls.

  Thanks Ligaya…my bad on the Larry King quote comment from the previous thread…i stand corrected :-)

  However, with that said, no matter what his motives were(again giving him the benefit of our doubts), Bill O. did defend Angelina…not that Angelina needs anyone defending her right to adopt.

  My 1st Comment Is In Moderation Cuz I May Have Used The Wrong Words :( The Point I Was Trying To Make Is Its Unfair To Say Her Adoptions Are Misguided Because Of Her Past. Brad Didnt Have The Same Past As Angie And He Wants As Many Children As She Does So Why Criticize HER? Its A Sad Time In The World When A Woman Who Wants To Love And Care For Unwanted Children Is Questioned

  I am so outraged by these psychologist comments, but anyway it does not matter. I believe Angelina Jolie is adopting for the right reason. I saw a clip where she was in african with the children and she was crying to see the way the children live. This woman has a good heart and it does not matter what people think about her. They can bring up her past all they want to she genuinely loves her kids.

  The underworld must have just froze over because I actually agreed w/ Bill O’Reilly and in general, I think he’s a twit. The two “psychologists” are acting unethically. As a therapist myself, I can attest to the fact that it is completely unethical to diagnose someone I’ve never met or personally interviewed. Both are trying to sell something–one, a book, and the other, a magazine. What both of them fail to acknowledge is that Brad and Angie not only clearly love all their children, they have the means to provide additional support for them. Did anyone hassle Mia Farrow this way when she adopted multiple children, some with special needs?

  They will always try to bring Angie in to any story to get themselves noticed. Everyone know Angie is always news, whether true or not. The so called psychologists or whatever they are do not set a very good example of their profession. How can you possibly diagnose some one you have not met? ALso, the children are Brad and Angies. WHy is it always Angie who has the problem. Brad said he suffered from slight depression based on where he grew up. Love the Jolie Pitts.

  Yes you have to just love children and care about the needs of others. I’ve taken in two little ones. I have two biologicals and one that’s adopted. I’m not rich by any means but they are loved and care for. People just want to make these crazy comments about someone that making such a huge difference in the life of a child.I love what I do and when I see Angie with her kids I understand. She just has alot of love and wants to help make a difference in a childs life.

  What a load of crap, those two women are as stupid as they come. It is obvious that Angelina as a woman was able to do somehting that most of us are not able to do. She went to other countries saw the problems and found some ways to help. One of those ways was being able to save a few children’s lives. You know if everyone lived by the mantra “To Whom Much is Given, Much is Expected” There would be less problems. She is one of the few people with that much money and sway and is actually putting her money where her mouth is. As for not being able to emotionaly be there for those kids, that is bull too. I have six, I am not rich, my Husband is gone half of the time, my kids are very loved from the first one to the last one. They get their own individual time with us, and no one is lacking in any way! There are people all over the world that have one child, and they have too much money, and that kid gets none of the love and attention from it’s parents that it should. It is all about the parents and how you do your parenting, it is a choice. There may be some things that I wish were different for them (like being married) but, you know, that is none of my business. As far as their kids go though they look like happy normal kids, and thanks to her choice there are a couple that are alive that might not would have been. So the idiots that are too selfish to have any kids, and really have no clue need to step off, and actually report about the real news!

  Mar 12, 2008 at 1:21 pm

  The comment that really stood out for me was “we must be child advocates”…. if we think of it that way weren’t Angie and Brad just being advocates for children who had dismal lives to begin with? whats better than taking a child in Zee’s case who was nearly dying and saving them?

  plus angie has probably gone through therapy in her life in order to help facilitate her changes… people grow up you know?

• SIE

• cher
  Mar 12, 2008 at 2:22 pm

  There’s no reason to take offense to a question being raised. That in itself could be an underlining psychological problem. All the doctor said basically is that, she had some past problems that fit into the guidelines of what you call a “collector psychic” profile.

  We cannot be sure of angelina’s intentions either way - it would be just as wrong to assume that her actions are selfless, as it would be to assume she just uses these children to fill a void. But regardless of her intentions, I feel sorry for her children IF nannies are giving more attention to them than their actual parents - in my opinion, if you need that much extra help (multiple nannies), you’re not ready to take on the resposibility of being a mother, as you are not the one actually raising your children. Being a mother is not a job you can just leave and then come back to at your convenience. I sincerely hope that her children don’t become nothing more to her than souvenirs from her travels. I am not judging angelina - I’m merely stating what my view of the situation would be, were certain rumors confirmed. I wish her family the best.

• a
  Mar 12, 2008 at 4:37 pm

  The most important thing to note is that we shouldn’t judge her either way. Only she knows the motivation behind her actions. I like to give people the benefit of the doubt (it is fine to explore all of the possibilities, but wrong to come to conclusions we are not in a position to make).

• lennie
  Mar 12, 2008 at 4:48 pm

  Cher, are you sure you know what you are talking about? I really don’t agree with you given the fact that as Sherry has already said, those “psychologists” don’t know Angie but through tabloid headlines. They are not “doctors”, it takes years of medecine studies to become psychiatrist, but everyone could claim to be “psychologist” after a year or two studies of psychology. As I study medecine myself (in France, I’m french) I don’t question psychology, it’s gossip and rag magazines’ so called psychologists I really don’t trust.
  Just one question, Angie has adopted 3 children and soon will have 2 biological children. Kind of balanced, right? Why is she being “collector psychic” when it comes to her adopted children? Why can’t she being included with the thousands of women who just want a big family? And what about Brad since he is also father to those 3 adopted children… is he also another collector psychic too? No need to be a genius to know that the whole thing is just gossip thus irrelevant. You’re right to say that there’s any offense to a question being raised. I just think that you raise the “wrong” question, and that cheap psychology isn’t relevant either.

  Bottom line, no one has the right to judge a person unless they themselves are proven to be doing something good for others. I guess a psychologist means judging the book by the cover. If a person is adopting children and giving them a better life, what is wrong with that picture? They can afford to do so and they’re adopting and having children while they are young instead of waiting till they don’t have the energy to enjoy them. Look at Oprah, she’s doing something for the children and giving money away but they only thing that bothers me is, why does she have to have a camera to show the world, I could understand for example George Clooney showing the world what is going on in Darfur but when you give money or build a school for the kids and have the whole world watch, isn’t this a little fake?

  Hey Girls! Sherry, hope your daughter is better. I am the oldest at 32, my sister is 30, and my brother is 27. My sister and I are not married yet, and we actually live together. To say we are as close as we were growing up is an understatement. I am extremely close to my brother, but I would say now more so than when we were growing up. He and my sister share alot of things that I don’t/can’t with him. So I know that children closer in age do grow up and stay closer. There have been very many people that have commented to us and our parents on how close we are and how when we do things, we do them together-still.
  I think all the Jolie-Pitt kids are going to grow up to be thoughtful, respectful, intelligent, well adjusted adults and that is a direct testament to their wonderful parents.

  Just one more thing–
  There are TWO parents in that family, but why are they always saying that Angelina is addicted to adoption? Are we really to think that Angie does whatever she wants and Brad goes along with it?? I get the vibe that they are equally strong people that make their decisions together. I hate the way that the media tries to lynch her alone. They aren’t willing to admit that these two people have become wonderful parents-together.

  Angie has a great hard and is not bad if they say she is adicted to adopt children, it´s worse to be adicted to drugs as Britney or other celebrities. She gets some sense to her life making happier to abandon children.

• julia
  Mar 12, 2008 at 5:54 pm

  I can’t believe those woman were talking about being advocates for children no matter WHO the parent is…. There are plenty of children out there with parents who need to looked after. They are the underpriviledged kids that no one would notice in the first place. Or how about foster care families who take in children just to receive government support checks.
  THOSE kids need to be advocated for… NOT MPZS+1

• Kari
  Mar 12, 2008 at 6:30 pm

  I really hate the way the American media always has to look for some dirty, sordid, or perverse underside to even the must beautiful, selfless acts. E.g. turning the desire to love and help kids into some sort of a psychological disorder ??!!!! (Still, it seems to always be directed at liberals. Nobody asked whether Mother Theresa had some sort of a messiah complex or whatever, did they? Though she certainly would have fit the bill…) It’s despicable.Good that O’Reilly defended Angelina. I wonder why the media does this? Based on the few interactions I’ve had with some of these circles, it could be because they themselves are pretty cynical and self-serving. So when someone comes along who for the most part isn’t, and who is seriously mobilizing what resources they have to change things for the better, they immediately have to rush to cast doubt on that person’s integrity and credibility. This way, they can feel reassured that everyone in actual fact is cynical, selfish and morally lazy like them.

  I, myself would like to adopt but I have no means of doing it, unlike Brad & Ange, I am very sure their children will grow up well adjusted & will contribute to society, their parents are their role models & those psychologists, what do they know about Angie? I’m glad Bill O Reilly defended Angie. People changed, she learned from her mistakes & that’s what important. She got the support of her fans & Brad.God bless the Jolie-Pitt’s.

  How insulting… Mia farrow adopted a total about 12 kids. There was a scandal when Woody Allan(who was her long time partner at the time) came out with a relationship with one of the girls who had turned 18. He is still with his daughter (she was adopted at a young age and he was the father figure in the household) who is now his wife. Anyway I do not remember seeing questions such as “Is Mia Farrow” addicted to adoption. ”

  Angelina is not the first celebrity to do so. It is just the nature of society today to look for fault in someone who used to provide them great fodder for print. Part of me believes she did it that because she knew they were going to anyway and wa strying to get at her father.

• Mayflur
  Mar 12, 2008 at 7:52 pm

  That is true it takes alot to raise a child. I’m not a foster parent. I was one more than six years ago. My two four year olds come from two mothers who chose not to care for them. I think it’s maybe cheaper to raise children in Louisiana. I do know the housing is cheaper. The electricity bill is murder. As a single almost fifty year old African American it’s not easy but if Clara Hale could make a difference in New York. I know I can make a difference in Louisiana.

  angelina is a changed woman the moment she adopted mad. and has managed to be physically,mentally,emotionally and spiritually stable already even before she met brad and adopted z and pax. the psychologists were totally judgemental.

  irma, yup, i’ve seen the photos. i think she was wearing the same kind of dress that she wore on the airport but this time its color is blue. she looks radiant btw. :)

• andrea
  Mar 12, 2008 at 10:59 pm

  I really think that all this hatred for Angie is a result of the uneasiness people who spend all their time and energy watching other celebrities, thinking about what they wear, what they buy, and where they go out feel when they look at her. Even in the shallowest airheads, to see somebody who has the money, the power, the looks and the sex appeal to get away with whatever she wants actually giving to others and doing some good while they do less than nothing must create a twinge of guilt or self-doubt. Rather than face up to the fact this family reminds them of–that they COULD be doing good, but selfishly choose not to–they just come up with any silly reason they can why they SHOULDN’T want to be like her.

• Lucy
  Mar 12, 2008 at 11:28 pm

  Hi everyone,
  I believe the psychic profile that these psychologists are talking about is being referred to Angie because she loves to adopt children. She is an advocate and that is her passion. She found her purpose in life aside from being an actress. It is a gift to have this compassion from someone who also has the means and the status she has. I think this is one of the reasons why Brad really fell for her. It is the energy to human kind. It seems like, she has everything, a colorful past (which everybody can have) a great career and a drop dead beauty and talent combined. She can always go the easy way like opening a restaurant or starting a fashion line. But not our Angie, she headed to Washington D.C. and the rest you all know. This is what Brad saw and fell in love with. I am so proud of both of them.

• BlessBrangelina
  Mar 13, 2008 at 12:20 am

  From all your responses I don’t think I will watch it. It’s annoying that no one ever mentions Brad’s wish for a large family! Adopting is a wonderful thing not a crime!

  Am sorry Lucy but their reasoning is flawed. What about Brad’s background? Did he have a difficult time too??? Is that why he wants large family?

  Professionals psychologist my ar*e. They set out to do get publicity and do a number on Angie.

  Don’t be blinded or fooled, this is not finished. What we have come to know and understand is that if Angelina Jolie’s name is in it, it will grow legs as well as multiply. That’s the reason behind this.

• Bee
  Mar 13, 2008 at 2:25 am

  Hhmmm I think the reason for the discussion is that a big family is uncommon today. Most people have one kid or may two. She and Brad adopted so fast and will have soon 5 or 6 kids… everything that is uncommon is questioned, isnt it? But I think Angie and Brad fortunetally dont care about discussions. Its obvious that they love all their kids and spend time with them doing different acitivities - thats the important part, nothing else matters :) Of course they can afford help by nannies, especially for the cleaning - cooking - washing stuff which costs much time usually ;)

  angela, angi herself said more than once that mad changed her. she also said that she would not be able to have more kids without brad, he is her helping hand. I think that shows that they consider there adoptions well. in another post someone mentioned that some people want to have their kids close in age. This seems a good reason why the Joli-Pitt family is growing so fast, Brads 42 now and may he doesnt want to waste more time with waiting and with the a partner on the side there is no reason to wait for more kids.

  I had one daughter at the age of 24 - I didn’t have more basically because I wanted to be able to offer her the very best instead of spreading just a little to many… If I had had the kind of income that Angelina has, I probably would have 20 kids - some own, some adopted. What’s the deal?? If the psycs want to do some crusading, they should help all the abused children in “normal families” and leave Brangelina alone - or critisize them for their work - that’s what they should be in the limelight for.

• isacutie
  Mar 13, 2008 at 6:34 am

  I truly believe that Angie and Brad cares for their children with all their heart, and that they have a lot of love to give. And I admire them for giving these children what truly appears to be a happy life. Angie have changed so much since Maddox came into her life, and I don’t think she’s using the children to have some sense of self-fulfillment, and I remember her saying something to the effect that because she now has Madd in her life, she needed to change for the better. Alright, so she had a pretty notorious life prior to Madd, but she’s very different now and much more mature. I’m sure most of us went through some sort of rebellious, wild time when we were younger, but most of us have turned out well as we mature. And Angie is just that, a mature, loving woman. Unfortunately, there will always be people who will remain skeptical. I understand that the psychologists may have a valid point, and that there are some adopters who may doing just what they said, but I believe that with Angie and Brad, the welfare of the children comes first.

  By the way, I really, really do not like Bill O’Reilly, but it’s nice to see him defend Angie.

• irma
  Mar 13, 2008 at 7:03 am

  At least, that’s a start for Bill O Reilly, he finally realized, he will get more positive feedbacks & more ratings. The power of Brangelina.
  I just don’t understand, why criticize Angie for adopting? She can afford & she can give them love with Brad on her side.
  I have 2 nieces who were adopted but I treat them no difference with my other nieces. I think people in tabloids,showbiz treats Angie unfairly. They don’t want to talk about other HW stars for adopting so many kids because they know Angie gets attention more & bring in more money for them. God bless them.

  what a waste of space those two women are..acting like they have something serious they want to discuss because they are worried about angies children..all the time they are just falling over themselves to get their faces on tv. its disgraceful to comment on someone in such a personal way just because they “are a public figure” judge her choice of film roles by all means..thats what puts her in the public eye. but how dare they judge her for choosing to be a mother to her children.its absolutely outrageous and should never have been aired.

• dianad1968

  baby dalailama, i could not have expressed myself better. You have stated everything i have felt since hearing about the segment. Everybody and their mother try to get their 15 minutes at the expense of Angie. I believe wholeheartedly that this wonderful young woman, who has never been quoted as saying anything derogatory or critical of anyone, will one day be publicly vindicated. Good ALWAYS triumph over evil.

• kim
  Mar 13, 2008 at 7:43 am

  Really these two woman are ridiculous to say the least. As far as I am concerned if you have the money and resources adopt as much as you like. I personal wouldn’t even care if they adopt and left the kids in the hands of nanny’s and tutors their life would still be better. But the fact is they take care to spend time with each of their kids, not sure how they do it, but they do. Besides I have always thought people have children for selfish reasons or by accident anyways, you can’t have children for unselfish reasons it doesnt make any sense the world is populated enough already.

• irma
  Mar 13, 2008 at 7:44 am

  I figured those Psychologists don’t know the feeling of adopting children from the third world countries, Angie gives those children the love that their biological mothers deprived of them. They should talk more about how these children will have become & how Brad & Angie gives them the stability of a home & love. They also have forgotten that Brad & Angie have the means to do it.

  i don’t understand anymore this stupid and superficial world where i live!!!!

  instead of speaking about the last bag angie bought, the last shoes victoria beckam wore, they should speak about all the misery around the world!

  they should take angie as an example for everybody: she and brad care of the world!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

• Jo
  Mar 13, 2008 at 8:57 am

  I’m not sure how those psychologists earned their titles. It requires a degree of intelligence. So how come, Angie’s reluctance at first to be a mother until she met Maddox was not taken into consideration. Furthermore, I think either Brad or Angie was quoted to have said they wanted however many kids as early as they can while they are still young and able to do so. I’m no psychologists but based on interviews I’ve watched and read, Brad and Angie have always come across as honest and sincere. They put a lot of thought in their actions with their children in the forefront not as an after thought.

• Jo
  Mar 13, 2008 at 9:02 am

  Moreover, I think Angie should be viewed as a symbol of hope for so many of our lost and rebellious youth. Especially, the young women who are misunderstood in this society for trying to express themselves, albeit the wrong way. Angie was able to come out of the darkness. She showed that one life can matter and make a difference even if it was just offering a listening ear to one displaced child or refugee. Angie has shown that people who are self-destructive can turn themselves around and be a positive influence.

  On March 11 the Bill O’ segment was mentioned under another topic: Angelina Bump Getting Bigger. Several of you had negative things to say about Bill O’Reilly before seeing the segment. I wrote this:
  jan
  Mar 11, 2008 at 2:16 pm

  Bill O’Reilly has always been very complimentary of angelina jolie. He admires her giving and her charity work as well as her acting. I don’t know what his opinion is of the “many children” but I’ve never heard him say anything negative about her. My guess is it will be a positive segment. He might be bringing up the criticisms in order to defend the J-P’s for adopting and caring for the orphaned children of the world. We’ll have to wait until tonight to see but that’s my guess. He’s always had positive things to say about her.

  It’s interesting today to see how many of you admire Bill now. He brought this subject up on his show in order to respond to a critical segment on ABC news where Angelina was “judged” for adopting so many children. I’m a Jolie-Pitt fan which is why I read Pittwatch. But I’m also a Bill O’Reilly admirer. I see things he does wrong, says wrong but I admire him anyway. Same with Angelina and Brad. I like them even though I see some things I don’t like about them. Why is it that we can’t allow people to have flaws, faults, imperfections . . .and let them be human?
  As for too many children . . .where would these kids be if Angelina hadn’t adopted them? It’s a foolish conversation to be having, actually, for many reasons, not the least of which is: we don’t know!! We have no idea why anyone does anything. . .it’s a guessing game. I’m just glad these children have the Jolie-Pitts for parents and I’m glad Bill O’Reilly decided to defend them on his show.

• susan
  Mar 13, 2008 at 11:04 am

  I’m going to be fair…I am not going to make a claim such as “Angie is a great mom,” “her kids are well adjusted,” or “they’re happy.” I won’t say this simply because I don’t know them and I don’t know anything about their parenting skills (as no one else on here does). Photos and a few film clips reveal little about their private life or about their children.

  My entire thinking on this is simple: we can debate this question all day long. There will always be “psychologists” or “psychiatrists” who will take opposite sides of this argument. But I have always held the stance that we shouldn’t judge people or assume something without the facts. These people have a right to take a stance on the question posed to them, but it doesn’t mean what they say is right or wrong.

  Only Angelina and Brad know what the true answer is to this debate. And until there is definitive evidence proving one way or another, then all we can do is speculate. I am sure there are people who adopt for the wrong reasons as there are people who genuinely adopt for the right reasons. Do we know which one Brad and Angelina are? Of course not. But at the same time, it isn’t our place to judge them either.

  This is 100% a private and personal matter and it should have little to do with what the media claims or anyone for that matter. I don’t know Brad and Angelina so I can’t claim to vouch for their parenting skills or Angelina’s state of mind.

  The reason Brad and Angelina are picked out in this debate among the non-famous or less-famous is because they continuously maintain a high level of media coverage. They are a topic of fascination for people and there will always be the positive and negative press.

  As long as Brad and Angelina accept the choices they have made, then what right do I or anyone else have to question that judgment or their lifestyle choices??

  So I say peace to their family and many prayers for their happiness…

  I am one of 10 children born naturally to my mother. She had a child every year and a half. We are all living and close and very close to our mother. (Father died in car crash 17 years ago)
  We sort of took care of each other and always had someone to play with. If 8 didn’t the 9th probably did. They were not rich and both parents worked hard to support us, but we had a great time with each other. Now my mother in her 80’s revels in her doting children. So, leave Angelina alone. There is plenty of love and attention in a big family.

  Just thought i would share this with you…it was in an online article I read today…”Jolie’s past few films “A Mighty Heart”, “The Good Shepard”, “Alexander” and “Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow” failed to fuel audience interest as well. Besides her borderline voyeuristic romp with Brad Pitt in “Mr. and Mrs. Smith” her movie star appeal has more to do with her otherworldly beauty and “dare you to look” disposition, rather than cinematic success. And really, isn’t the sign of a good movie star a star who draws people into the theaters?”

  Sherry, thought you and our fellow readers would be interested to know that Flynetonline.com has some pictures of Angie, Madd and Zee. They were visiting Brad on the set of Tree of Life.

  I understand that their high exposure is what makes people use their names for their 15minutes of fame.

  This is why O’Reilly should have tried to bring other celebrities with “pasts” who have adopted, or have a large family into the concersation. EG:Sharon Stone, Mia Farrow and Julia Roberts. He could have spoken to adoptive parent societies, or large family associations, to bring perspective.

  This would have shown the viewers just how lame these “professionals” opinions are. Mia Farrows children are not being followed by paps, charged with DUI’s etc. The 3 oldests are in University, one is also a spokesperson for UNICEF Youth.

  Julia Roberts has had as many unstable relationships as, if not more than Angie. She is now settled into a great family life, people leave her alone. I haven’t heard anyone use her past as a reason to judge her present and future.

  BlessBrangelina I agree completely with what you are saying. I think that Sherry should maybe start up some type of conversation on why Angelina is put down so much. I am sure we all have many different thoughts and ideas on this subject. Also, why only Angelina and not Brad?

  I do not see the difference between this psychologist giving his opinion about Jolie than, people on this website giving their opinions about Jolie. In the end, neither on makes any sense.

• Congrats - Brangelina!!!

  Can’t people keep their noses out things that are not their business?? Let’s do some prying into yours Bill O”Reilly/expert on all things????? I think it is wonderful that they are such a together family and now have the joy of adding some more. Bet these kids have a greater quality of life than most and why not?? Keep up the great work Brad & Angelina, you are the greatest!!

  Well, as a 4th of 4 and were all within 5 years of each other, i think it’s fine that brad and AJ are having kids close in age. We’ve all pretty much as turned out great(expect my brother Allen is mean to me a lot of time but i think that’s just his age) It’s not the number amount of children you have it’s how you raise them. and my parents only regret that they didn’t have more children and the only reason they didn’t is cuz my mom was very sick during all of her pregnancies so they stopped at 4.
