Angelina Jolie Looking to Adopt Another Foreign Baby
Via Newsmax:
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 the 31-year-old actress filed the papers at Vietnam's International Adoption Agency, said Vu Duc Long, the agency's director.
As is well known, she already has adopted children from Cambodia and Ethiopia.
The slew of adoptions by Jolie, which has been emulated by aging pop tart Madonna in her adoption of a Malawian toddler, makes me think of the Beanie Baby craze a few years back...true fanatics just couldn't stop until they had one of each kind.
While I generally have no problem with Americans adopting children from overseas (I know several people personally who have done so), Jolie's actions to the untrained eye seem to border on obsession. Is it for publicity reasons? Is she trying to fill a void in her life? I hate being cynical when needy children are involved, but the whole thing is beginning to creep me out.
Be the first on your block to collect the whole set!
Wyatt Earp has a few thoughts on Jolie as well.
