HANOI, Vietnam : Angelina Jolie has filed papers to adopt a Vietnamese
child, the country's top adoption official said Friday.
A U.S. adoption agency representing Jolie filed the papers at Vietnam's
International Adoption Agency, said Vu Duc Long, the agency's director.
"She just filed the papers this week," Long said.
Jolie and her superstar partner, Brad Pitt, have three children:
5-year-old Maddox, adopted from Cambodia; 2-year-old Zahara, adopted from
Ethiopia; and another daughter, Shiloh, who was born to the couple in May.
Long would not name the U.S. adoption agency working with Jolie, who
applied to adopt as a single parent.
Jolie and Pitt made a surprise visit to Vietnam at Thanksgiving, when
they visited the Tam Binh orphanage, on the outskirts of Ho Chi Minh City.
Their pictures were splashed across the front page of Vietnamese
newspapers, showing the couple cruising around Ho Chi Minh City on a
motorbike.
Nguyen Van Trung, the director of the Tam Binh orphanage, declined to
comment. He said he was awaiting the papers from the International
Adoption Agency.
