It’s official - a Jolie-Pitt adoption will happen quickly
When even CNN is reporting it you know it’s coming from quality sources. Angelina Jolie’s adoption should be done within the next three months and her son will be coming home. The young boy, between age 3 and 4 has already been chosen.
All the naysayers can be quiet now about special treatment too, finally. Vu Duc Long, Vietnam’s head of the justice ministry’s international adoption department in Hanoi officially stated how the adoption process works and Angelina’s not getting special speedy service because of her celebrity background:
Under ordinary circumstances, it takes about four months to process an adoption after the forms arrive, Long said. If the prospective parent already has chosen a child, the adoption can be completed in just three months.
“Three months would be the longest,” Long said, adding that Jolie’s case could be processed faster than that.
Of course, people who like to be negative will still say she’s bending the rules by adopting as a woman out of wedlock, but I fail to see how that is so. She is a single mother. A single mother is allowed to file for adoption. I don’t see any problem or rule bending here. Then again, negative people just like being contrary!

I think it’s a great thing the Jolie-Pitt’s are doing but i don’t know how you can say she is a single mother because she is not. Her and rad are very muvh together and a family so therefore is NOT a single mother.

Rhonda, I only mean that in legal terms. Because she isn’t married to Brad, she is legally a single mother as far as the options for adopting from Vietnam.
I myself am not officially married, just common law and I consider my “husband”, my kids, and myself to be very much a family. I didn’t mean any disparagement by using the term “single mother” only as far how her adoption papers were filed. :)

yaya Says: why can’t they just do it n have babies….
Maybe they have a social consciousness, due to the already over-population of the planet.
There are SO many orphaned and abandoned children in Third World countries.
Without adoption many will be forced into into the life of a street kid, begging and stealing to survive.
Some will be forced into prostitution to satisfy the perversions of paedophiles.
Either way, most won’t survive beyond their tenth birthday.
So I congratulate them for their ideals.

I’d prefer to adopt over birth. Thank god as a U.S. woman I have that choice. In many countries a woman is defined by birthing a child. I have a friend from Nigeria whose wife had a heart condition. Against the doctors recommendation, she birthed their daughter and died several months later as a result. I was disappointed in the decision to birth a child, knowing there was a 90% chance she would not be alive to raise her. Last week, I watched this show on discovery about the journey of having babies. This gay couple whose already had an adopted daughter decided to get a saragate because the hispanic man in the couple wanted to at least one bio baby. So they spent all this money and time to get this saragate pregnant who really wanted to remain in their lives. Yet the gay couple made it clear, contractually, she was just the vessel. During the segment she was disappointed when she realized she was just an incubator. The gavy partner of the hispanic gay man went through this for him (the hispanic gay partner). So they injected the sarogate with both of their sperm, and it was funny because the one who wanted to adopt rather than to have the sarogate was obviously the bio dad, because the baby came out with blond hair. Since the hispanic partner and the sarogate had black hair and dark eyes, the bio dad had to be the parter who had blond hair and blue eyes. Even afterwards, the partner said we will definately adopt their next child. He really did’t think it was worth it and he was the bio dad.
I aggree with them. So many people think that the joy of parenthood is greater because they birth their child or they share DNA. I am a behaviorist and beleive that you make your children your kids whether they are bio or not. I am 37 years old have personally never had a desire to birth a child. Although, I want to be a Mom. My desire to adopt has nothing to do with goodwill or compassion. It has to do with my personal values. I believe there is no difference between bio and non-bio. I know for a fact that nurture vs nature prevales. In my family the bio children don’t always look alike, but all the family (bio and non-bio) behaves in the same crazy way:-).
Maybe I feel so strongly about this because I have relatives where we don’t share the same DNA.
I said all this to really answer yaya’s question “why can’t they do it and have a baby”. Trust me, I am sure they are doing it:-). They are having a baby…. He’ll be here in a few months from Vietnam silly.
I am amazed when people ask me why I never had a child. They are amazed when I respond that I have no desire to be pregnant. I have been pregnant before by accident and terminated it. My god, I am not a slave, one can not force me to be an incubator. If you think children should be birthed then why don’t you have one Ya Ya.
Okay, so maybe I went off on a tangient and a little to much. But I am so sick of people acting like it is such a sacrifice for Angelina and Brad to adopt. They act like the couple are giving something up because they choose not to birth all their kids. My god, a child is blessing no matter how you have it. Since there are so many unwanted suffering children there are a lot of blessings to go around. What is the big deal? In 60 years when Brad is 100 and Angeline is 90, it will be their children that care for them, protect them and make sure their lives are happy when they are old and feeble. No one will call them their adopted children, just their children. Love connects us, not biology. If biology made a dad, then Angelina’s father Jon Voyt would have been there for her growing up. When he is old and feeble she probably won’t take care of him. He didn’t care enough to to be a father to her, or a grandfather for that matter,he didn’t learn her daughters name. My god, why do we condem people for being parents yet we say nothing when they negate there parental responsibilites, or when they blantantly show no interest.
Alright I’m finished venting for the day. thanks.
