Your Chance To Be Adopted By Angelina Jolie And Brad Pitt
ONE…two…three…
Angelina Jolie has been in Prague and we are just counting heads to see that everything is as it should be.
Angelina does love to take home a souvenir of her travels. And we are at a Catholic orphanage in the Czech capital engaged in a spot of stock taking.
As the Sun reports, Angelina Jolie and her lover Brad Pitt are to adopt another child.
A source tells us: “If everything goes smoothly, Angelina will have an Eastern European son to add to her brood.”
This is great news. Now that Jolie is looking not just to Asia and Africa but to the European Union to acquire children, we wonder how long it will before she picks up a British child?
With one Ethiopian (Zahara), a Vietnamese (Pax Thien), a Cambodian (Maddox), Namibian queen (Shiloh) and now this Czech child, the time is ripe for a British addition.
The competition will be fierce. And in the spirit of British fair play we invite anyone who wants to be adopted by the Jolie-Pitts to complete the following sentence in 12 words or fewer: “I want to go to America with Miss Angelina and Mr Brad because…”
The winner gets to live the American dream of burgers, chips, theme parks, therapists and obesity. Losers get to stay in the UK and live with burgers, chips, theme parks, therapists and obesity…

Having adopted internationally, let me tell you it is no picnic. The way she baby shops irritates the &%*$ out of me. Russia showed her the door when she tried to do it there. And just about anyone who has AI can tell you that each time you adopt, THAT child needs at least a solid year devoted to THEM to make them feel secure. That’s especially true in the case of the last one, who was older. I don’t care how many nannies you have, they need mommy and daddy the for attachment. To them, a nanny is no different than a caregiver at the orphanage, she’s just in better clothes. And trotting around the world nonstop is not the best idea either. That’s fine for a kid who is already stable and attached, but these kids need routine, routine, routine for security. Has she read even one book on attachment?
I’ve heard all the “Well, they’re better off than they were in orphanages” arguments, but that’s no excuse for her tactics. She’s making international adopters look bad, and Americans in particular. There is already a perception in some of these countries that rich people just waltz in and buy babies. And when someone collects them like LLadro pieces, it reinforces that stereotype and hurts the chances of those who have waited in line, done everything by the book, and just want a baby to love. Most are not rich and are spending every cent they have to adopt these children.
I’ve also heard her say that everytime she adopts one of these kids, she is saving a child. “Savers” worry me. They always have. Adopt a child because you want to love and care for a child. Period. With Savers, deep down it’s more about THEM than the CHILD. Think of someone who rescues a dog. They take care of and nurture the dog. But the dog won’t do tricks and one day it even nips at them. The Saver gets angry and thinks “I saved you! How dare you act like that. Don’t you know where you’d be if I hadn’t taken you in? You owe me!” I’m not saying Savers don’t love the children they adopt, but too often they carry a balance sheet in their head and woe be to the child who is not sufficiently grateful to the parent who SAVED them. Those of us who adopted for love don’t expect any gratitude from our children for adopting them. As far as we are concerned, our child saved US and doesn’t owe us a thing except for the respect any parent would expect from their child. She was not a charity case, but a miracle for us.

Do you think when Ange and brad split - as surely they must - her children will hunt him down like a dog?

Many failed celebrity couples use their kids as weaponry - see the Baldwin-Bassinger saga, for example. Angelina is simply building up her arsenal for future deployment when her relationship with Brad bottoms out. It’s just strategy, pure and simple.

Dogstar. something about human trafficking isn’t it? or isn’t it quite the done thing to say that?
Anorak , she’ll be soooo upset if you do and need lots more anti wrinkle cream and probably therapy, she might even start drinking my wine and that will never do

This kind of thing really does make a mockery of international adoption law. I’m sure we’ve all heard terrible stories about how difficult (if not outright impossible) it often is for any ‘ordinary’ couple to adopt a foreign child (more like an inquisition, audit and trial by fire all rolled into one) from a ‘third-world’ (should that be ‘developing’?) nation…
The Jolie-Pitt/Madonna examples prove just one thing: show ‘em the money = take your chosen kid home on the next flight out. Arf.

Anorak, you don’t call Angelina ‘Mummy’ do you?

It’s easier to join the Jolie-Pitts than fight their power

It so easy to have many children when you have nannies to help raise them.
I’m so tired of hearing about this family.
