Angelina
Jolie Arrives For
Vietnam
Adoption
Angelina
Jolie
has arrived in Vietnam,
where she plans to adopt
a three-year-old boy.
Airport
security officials said
that Angelina Jolie was
whisked into a car with
dark windows and driven
away.
She
is expected to attend an
adoption ceremony with
Vietnamese officials in
Ho Chi Minh City on
Thursday morning,
according to adoption
officials.
The
boy was abandoned at a
Ho Chi Minh City
hospital as a baby and
then taken to the nearby
Tam Binh orphanage,
where he has lived ever
since, said Nguyen Van
Trung, the orphanage
director.
Shortly
after he arrived at the
orphanage, the Tam Binh
staff tried
unsuccessfully to locate
the boy's birth parents.
The
adoption is being
processed quickly
because the boy is an
older child, and his
files were nearly
complete before Jolie
decided to adopt, Trung
said.
Angelina
Jolie and her partner
Brad
Pitt
have three children:
five-year-old Maddox,
adopted from Cambodia,
two-year-old Zahara,
adopted from Ethiopia
and another daughter,
Shiloh, who was born to
the couple in
May.
