Angelina Jolie Was Not Given Any Special Treatment For Her Adoption

Angelina Jolie and partner Brad Pitt began proceedings in Vietnam last summer, US-based agency Adoptions From The Heart has revealed.

The average adoption in Vietnam takes sixth months or longer to go through.

A statement from the agency's Vietnam coordinator Heidi Gonzalez reads: "Throughout Ms. Jolie's adoption process, she received no preferential treatment from the Vietnamese government or Adoptions From The Heart."

Gonzalez also hit out at claims by Vietnam's senior adoption official VU Doc Long that the adoption was fast-tracked because of Jolie's celebrity status.

She says, "Contrary to earlier reports, her application was not fast-tracked."

Angelina Jolie Apologizes To New Son For Media Attention

Angelina Jolie has apologized to her newly adopted son Pax Thien for bringing him into her high-profile life.

The actress, who completed the adoption of the three-year-old Vietnamese orphan yesterday, last night blasted the paparazzi who turned her son's first encounter with celebrity into a terrifying experience.

And while Jolie regrets the media furore surrounding the new addition to her family, she is determined to keep Pax in touch with his roots.

She says, "I want to say sorry for bringing this into Pax's life.

"We will pay regular visits to your country. To the best of my ability I want to understand more about your country, to see what I can do to help."

Angelina Jolie Says She Wants To Be a Full-Time Stay at Home Mom

Angelina Jolie plans to stop making movies at least for a while to concentrate on raising her four children, the Hollywood mega-star told a Vietnamese newspaper.

Jolie, who Thursday adopted a 3-year-old Vietnamese boy she renamed Pax Thien Jolie, didn't say how long her sabbatical might take but added that raising her children is more important than her career.

"Now, I will stop making movies and will stay home to help Pax to get used to his new life," the star told the tiny Ho Chi Minh City Law newspaper in an exclusive interview published Friday.

"I have four children and taking care of the children is the most important thing for me at the moment. I am very proud and happy to be their mother," she was quoted as saying in the Vietnamese-language paper.

Jolie also said she hopes to learn some Vietnamese to communicate with Pax, who speaks only a few phrases of English, until he can adjust.

The international diva, UN goodwill ambassador and one-half of Hollywood's hottest power couple - the other half being Brad Pitt - managed to elude the world's press that descended on Vietnam this week.

But she granted an interview to the small Vietnamese-language paper published by the Ministry of Justice, which finalized the adoption on Thursday.

Her latest adoption brings her international family with partner Pitt to four children.

Pax joins five-year-old Maddox, adopted from Cambodia; Zahara, aged two, from Ethiopia; as well as baby Shiloh - the couple's biological daughter who was born in Namibia last May.

Pitt has been reported to be making a movie in the US and could not come to Vietnam with Jolie, who signed the adoption papers as a single parent because Vietnamese regulations do not allow unmarried couples to co-adopt.
