I think it is wonderful they are so eager to help less privilaged children, but I don't understand why they insist on bringing one into the family when they are already have two young babies?

I understand they have an army of nannies and such to take care of them and more than enough money to afford another baby. But I just see a lot of families that have babies, and ones that are so eager to have more babies soon after, and it seems like the previous babies just get less attention from their parents who are always so busy caring for new baby 1 then new baby 2 and so on. I really hope Angelina and Brad aren't like that, for the childrens sake.

Well they both want lots and lots of kids!

I think it is great......I have already heard about this.
These guys are great.

ahhhh, shopping for children again. You can be sure it will be another gorgeous kid. Oh, let's have a boy. No, let's have a girl! Let's have ten in one year!!

Just wait to see these two in five or ten years when they're done with this phase (something they're both famous for). I fear for all the children they're accumulating when it comes time for each of them to move on. It's what they do.

I believe they are good parents.

I really do love Santa Angelina and I admire her selflessness... but this is getting a little insane.

I hope she is prepared to stop working and devote her life to these children once she receives import number 4 or 5... If she intends to have a collection [no pun intended] of children, she had better be able to devote enough time to each of them.

I have read a few psychologist's comments on the situation of Angelina and her servant Pitt... they all seem to say that she is adopting children so rapidly and compulsively because she is trying to make up for some sort of deep-rooted emptiness. I am not suggesting that this is fact. After all, no mortal beings [such as we] really know her situation, but it is something to consider.

Still, I do adore her. Always will.

Where are they gonna find a car big enough to fit all these kids? LOL.

wonderful.....

I am sick of all those pics of her and Brad lugging around those children through airports like luggage. If she's going to continue adopting kids, she needs to quit her job and stay home and take care of them. At least she needs to concentrate on the ones she's got for now. Little kids traveling to a different country every week is not healthy or normal. They need a more stable upbringing.

M155 J4CK13, I agree with you all the way, about one of them giving up their careers, or holding back a whole lot to raise these childrens. Nannies are called nannies - not parents, for a reason.

Woo hoo happy for ya but like other people said are they gonna give up there careers to raise these kids highly unlikely they could but they wont. Sure working parents are just as good but wow 3 young children? I mean its just wow.
--------------------
The baby in my belly made me do it I swear.

Right, because living in poverty as an orphan is way more healthy, normal and stable than traveling. Yeesh.

I had my 2 kids 22 months apart, and that is hard enough! I think its great that they want to help all these children, but if they keep this up, she needs to buckle down and start raising them properly...like not lugging them around in front of the paparazzi all the time! But I guess if I had full time nannies to do the diapers and feedings, then I guess I would want more kids too.......

Thank you, love. I was expecting to be crucified. Everyone always gets so sensitive when it comes to this couple.

And bluesuze, I completely agree. It is not healthy for these young children to travel so much. I think its important for children to have a consistent place they can identify as home within their first few years of life.

"It's not healthy for these young children to travel so much"

~ are you for real?!? Healthy as opposed to what ~ dead from starvation, malaria, or dehydration?? Yeah, I guess as long as the misery is "consistent," that's all that matters, huh.

My bad. Just regurgitated what Jen said.

haha, ya just gotta laugh when someone gets 'overly' sensitive with certain couples.
It's cool that these people are adopting unfortunate little kids, but imo they should leave the little ones at home with a few nannies while traveling to get them, that is unless their kids are like, 'mama I waaaaaaaaanna gooooooo don't make me stay here!' I more like this couple than dislike them, they do alot of good things for people and kids. I'm ready for some JUICY gossip though.....(evil laugh)..

I just find it funny that families that make like $60,000 a year with 5 kids aren't looked down on or criticized but people who can clearly afford a lot of children are. Plenty of children with stay at home moms turn out to be losers. So what if these kids travel they seem to spend a huge amount of time with their parents. Thats what matters. Good luck to them!

highsociety: I commend her for adopting these children. I am not suggesting they would be better off living in poverty. I AM saying, however, that she can afford to take a break from work and should do so. For the benefit of her children. Just because these children are no longer living in poverty doesn't mean that raising them requires minimal effort because "at least they're not starving anymore". Every child needs a bit of stability and attention.

If I rescue a dog from an abusive household, should I just feed and vaccinate it, give it minimal attention, and tell myself "well, it has better now than what it would have been getting there"?

I think Brangelina is great!
After India, I'm betting a Mexican baby will be next.
Maybe they should wait awhile though. What's wrong with taking their time?
Must be a celebrity thing? Instant gratification?

~Trust Fate*Have Hope*Love Always~

Was Madonna getting too much attention in the Adopt-a-Foreign-Baby department?
I definately dislike the idea of them adding more to their brood. I can't even imagine what's going to happen to these kids once these two break up.

these kids are not only getting to travel the world, they will learn about many different cultures in their own livingroom. Both Brad and Angelina are doing excellent, financially, so now is the time for them to get this done and have the kids all set up for the future. Angie's had her wild side and now she seems settled, and Brad, good for you, is all grown up and caring about something other than his hair. I expect that this is a couple that will last.

"I want to create a rainbow family" Isn't anybody disturbed by that comment? Rainbow's are for leprechauns and the people in the castro district Angie. Ugh. I can't stand her.

I think they should wait a while before adopting again. It's getting a bit crazy when they start getting a new kid every 6 months.

Its a lie, its not true for Gods sakes!!!!!!!!!
It took Angelina 3 years to adopt again after Maddox, so she will await.

Also its forbiden fro Indian laws that a non indian couple adopt kids from ther, at least one of the parent has to have indian blood relation, so Brad and Angelina CANT adopt from there.

Those tabloids write about them because they know they are hot news.Remember the kid that they were suposed to adopt in Namibia?

Brilliant Angie, brilliant.. Brad isn't going anywhere now, is he!

it's becoming an obssession, in my view.

Don't tick me off. Or you'll get it.

well i agree cant they sit still for 5 minutes and enjoy the 3 young children they have?? i mean come on there should be some kind of satifaction between them now. i guess not

I think this is a sweet story, and I like the bohemian appeal they have.

remember the story where they were going to name their last adopted child "Africa"? this sounds made up.

So in the past year, the tabloids came up with

Brad & Angie to adopt Pakastani orphan
Brad & Angie to adopt Katrina orphan
Brad & Angie to adopt Haitian orphan
Brad & Angie to adopt a French orphan
Brad & Angie to adopt a German orphan
Brad & Angie to adopt a Namibian orphan
Brad & Angie to name unborn Shiloh, Africa
Brad wants next child to be a biological boy
Brad & Angie to adopt India orphan and name him/her India

So who is dumber, the tabloids who come up with these stories or the people who continue to believe them?

Oh and Brad & Angie will be in NOLA for Brad's next film, how long do you think it'll take for the tabs to once again come up with the Katrina orphan story?

It's like they are overcompensating for something one child every year and a few months down the line she'll get preggers again. I can't wait to see what happens hen they are over and done with and they will be cos every other couple who has seemed stable and in a loving relationship always breaks up in hollywood(well most of the time).

Why do people believe stories from tabloids? This was quote from US Magazine, I don't believe, or I'll believe it when I see it.

They ain't adopting so stop criticizing.

Also, they have the right to create whatever type of family they want. All these people and the need for the "stay at home mom" to make the family safe bit are getting to be too much. Families come in many different forms and many different formats, and whatever problems that will arise from the format they have chosen they and only they will be the ones to have to deal with it and it's not guaranteed they will fail because the format doesn't match the one you see in your reality. Look around, there are tons of kids who grew up in the "stability" you speak of and it didn't guarantee a perfect adulthood for them, so really it's about how the two parents come to gather and deal with issues as they arise. From the way it seems Jolie/Pitt have the same worldview which is good because being on the same page is what really creates stability.

Also, the kids are really young still. They are young parents and they are exploring, they have that right. As the kids get older and their needs change it will be up to them as parents to make decisions in the best interest of their family. To judge them right now is to judge them too quickly.

Feh. I really don't give a damn.

I'm dubious about this whole story--the kid from India in time for Christmas, (which isn't a big holiday in India, where almost everyone is Hindu or Muslim,) the rainbow family quote, and especially the kids of different religions quote.

Madonna on the other hand... building orphanages to proselytize her religion in Africa. Why can't she just quietly give the goods because it's the decent thing to do, rather than make them hear about her religion if they want to get fed and an education?

firstly Maddox doesnt seem to be getting any bigger?? Secondly this need she has to adopt children like breathing is a little weird and kinda freaks me out..

Why is it that average Americans have to wait centuries for their child and most only get one while these two can just take a shopping cart and buy a bunch very often? Something is just wrong here...

They will be able to advertise for the united colours of benetton at this rate.

"Also its forbiden fro Indian laws that a non indian couple adopt kids from ther, at least one of the parent has to have indian blood relation, so Brad and Angelina CANT adopt from there."

It was also forbidden in Malawi law, but Madonna got her kid. Just sayin'

Angelina DID say the "Rainbow Family" thing in an interview and it's been picked up and overutilized by the tabs. I just can't imagine her having much time to adopt a kid in the next few months, so I don't think it's necessarily true.

I love them.

It seems 3rd World kids are the souvenirs du jour for globe-trotting celebrities..as an African, as much as I see that some awareness is raised about the plight of children in these countries, it's continuously over-shadowed by tabloid reporting and constant cries in the media over "why did she/he adopt an African/Indian/Cambodian/Chinese baby when there are so many in the US/UK that need homes"...hopefully these stars know what they are doing in the long-term.

I think it is great. Angelina and Brad have big hearts, and plenty of love.

I'm with funkyfeet on this one. This story is a bunch of BS. I think BP & AJ are great parents & should be comended for their humanitarian works, not villified.

enough already....

Kids are so adaptable. I just don't see the issue with them travelling with their children. If that's what they have always done, the kids won't know any different and it will be normal to them.

I really like Angelina, but I hope that she's not turning in to a hoarder. Like some people hoard cats, she'll wind up hoarding kids? I sure hope not.

How do celebrities get their babies so fast? I have a friend who waited just under two years from start to finish to finally get her adopted child. She just got her a month ago.

If they want to adopt a kid every six months ..let um! They will know when enough is enough. I know I would if I only had to work like a month and 1/2 at a time for like a 10 million dollar payday and then have like 3-4 months off and I could take my children with me when I worked.. no matter where I worked.. and my partner was going to be there with me to help. Especially if I knew that I was saving these children from a possible death sentence of disease and poverty.

And as for travelling the world.. these children are still young.. the most important stablizing thing that they need is their parents time, love and attention. I think it looks like they are getting that. And Maddox looks like a pretty happy content little guy playing soccer and playing with Brad. I think all of his needs are being met people.

And in the worst case scenario of them seperating.. Angie stays good friends with her exs.. they all still love her to this day and say wonderful things about her.. so I am sure that she and Brad will remain great friends and he will be a part of the kids lives more than 95% of divorced fathers would. And the children will still be better off than where they started. They will still have two parents who love them are active participants in there life.

Enough already!! Geesh!

*Keeping out of all Brangelina Posts from now on* reer! it can get dirty in here!

Padraigin you are correct with this statement.

"Also its forbiden from Indian laws that a non indian couple adopt kids from ther, at least one of the parent has to have indian blood relation, so Brad and Angelina CANT adopt from there."
My friend and her husband were trying to adopt from India as that is his home country, however, she is American and it couldn't be done. Believe me, they tried very hard to adopt.

As for Brad and Angelina, I think it is great what they are doing.
