Jolie plans to adopt in Vietnam
Official says Angelina Jolie filed paperwork for adoption
Jolie and Brad Pitt have told press for months that they want their family to grow and will continue to adopt
It was only a matter of time before the Pitt-Jolie family grew. And that time has arrived.
According to a report from the Associated Press, Angelina Jolie has filed papers to adopt a child in Vietnam. AP quotes the director of Vietnam's International Adoption Agency, and the country’s top adoption official as confirming that an American adoption agency representing Jolie had submitted the paperwork.
"She just filed the papers this week," Vu Duc Long said.
As the entire world knows, Jolie, 31, and Brad Pitt, 43, are already parents to son Maddox, 5, and daughters Zahara, 2, and Shiloh, 9 months.
Jolie said in December that she wanted more kids. "I'd like to add many more children and many more obstacles and many more things to my life," she told reporters while promoting her movie The Good Shepherd.
And Pitt told People magazine in January that he and Jolie want to continue to expand their family. "Always, of course," he said. "We'll let you know when we get there." He also told Ryan Seacrest of E! on the red carpet at The Golden Globes that they’d like to have enough kids to form their own baseball team.
The couple was in Vietnam at U.S. Thanksgiving where toured Ho Chi Minh City and cruised around the former city of Saigon on a motorcycle.
In January, Jolie was back in Vietnam to discuss the Maddox Jolie-Pitt Project, her charity that aids her son's native country of Cambodia.
