According to Angelina Jolie , she initially had no intention of adopting a child in Vietnam after having Maddox . However, the female star changed her decision at the last minute because of a photo.
In an interview with Vogue magazine about her work helping refugees around the world as a special envoy to the United Nations, Angelina Jolie also shared about her adoption journey. The Hollywood actress first adopted Maddox when she went to Cambodia to film The Secret of the Ancient Tomb, then went to Zahara in Ethiopia and Pax Thien in Vietnam.
Jolie talked about the fate that helped her become Maddox’s mother: “Cambodia is the country that helped me become aware of refugees, connected me to issues abroad in a way I never had and brought me with a job at the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees. Above all, this place helps me become a mother. In 2001, while participating in a program at a school in Samlout, I sat on the floor playing puzzles with a boy. And clearly I thought: ‘My son is here’. A few months later, I met little Mad at an orphanage. I cannot explain that coincidence. Even though I’m not a superstitious person, that’s the obvious truth.”
When a Vogue reporter asked Angelina Jolie if adopting Pax Thien and Maddox from two neighboring countries was a deliberate decision, she replied: “Yes, I thought about that. At first, I didn’t think about adopting a child in Vietnam because I had Mad who is Cambodian and the two countries have a complicated history. Later, while reading a book about human rights, I couldn’t take my eyes off the image of a Vietnamese soldier imprisoned by the Americans. I’ve been thinking about our country and America’s intervention in Southeast Asia. I thought about a future where we would all be a family. I am so lucky to be Mad and Pax’s mom. Every day I feel grateful.”
Taking care of a family with three adopted children and three biological children, Angelina Jolie feels honored and excited. She shared: “Each child is wonderful in their own way in the family. The important thing is to be open about everything and share together. ‘Adoption’, ‘orphanage’ were positive words in our house. With adopted children, I cannot review the story of pregnancy, but I will tell in detail and love about the journey I found the children and the moment I first looked into their eyes . “
In the interview, Angelina Jolie also revealed her decision to break up with Brad Pitt after 10 years of togetherness and two years of marriage: “I broke up for the sake of family happiness. It was the right decision. I continue to focus on healing the children. Some people have taken advantage of my silence and the children see lies about themselves in the media, but I always remind them that they know the truth and understand own thoughts. In fact, they are six very brave and strong children.
Angelina Jolie (born 1975) is a Hollywood star associated with charity activities and helping the community. In 2006, she and her ex-husband – actor Brad Pitt – founded a charity organization to help Cambodia – the homeland of their son Maddox. The organization has helped 10 schools stay up and running. In addition, according to People, Angelina Jolie also privately sponsors a few girls’ schools in Afghanistan and Kenya.
In 2012, the star set foot in many places around the world to help and serve the community. Thanks to that, she was given special envoy status by the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees.
