I read that Shilo stayed with dad while Mad and Z went to pick up the newest member. Makes me wonder why she didn't take Shilo or leave Mad and Z with Brad too.
Brad said he couldn't go because of contract but I would think he would have gone IF he wanted to.

Yes I also found it strange that he didnt go to bring his new son home

I don't think Brad could go to Viet Nam because Angelina adopted as a "single" woman. With Brad there it would have opened up the can of worms about them living together when Viet Nam doesn't allow adoption to couples who aren't married.

I think Brad and Angelina can handle as many children as they want because they can afford to have as many nannies as possible (I read somewhere they had 5 nannies for the 3 kids they already have).

Personally I think parents are better than a lot of nannies and that if you are going to have a lot of kids that you should take time off and raise them yourself, especially because money isn't an issue. But I can't say I would want any of these kids in an orphanage versus being with Brad and Angelina.

I hope Brad and Angelina last as a couple at least until their kids are grown and that they do right by all these children. Peggy

^ ouch - you do know you are talking about children, yes?

actually I think that this is a discussion purely bec they are famous. my grandmother had 8 children (one passed away ) and raised 7 - would anyone have said to her that she can't give her children attention? if AJ had given birth to 4 children, and not adopted, no one would even bother to say anything bec that is her natural right. and I have met families with one child who doesn't get enough attention -
I just don't get why anyone would assume bec they are 4 (or more) they won't get all the attention they need.

also, even if their relationship doesnt work, do you think they are better off in an orphanage (or maybe worse) than between Jolie/Pitt houses? Cruise/Kidman adopted kids,and they seem ok with their situation... I wish them happiness, and really don't want to judge their situation bec they are not really harming anyone.

I didn't say anything about getting enough attention in my post.

1) I don't know anything about your grandma. My grandma had 9 or 10, but that was years ago. That's when the women didn't have to work and they didn't know anything better in regard to birth control.

2) I don't think it's about adopting or giving birth, but most experts would agree that, it is wise to have them a year or two apart...so each children will have full attention from their parents, during their toddler years...the most important years in one's life. How they turn out as adults depends on those days.

3) Of course it's good to grow up in plenty than in poverty. But will they grow up and become productive members of society or become another Brandon Davis, Paris Hilton? That time will tell.


Jolie and Pitt are entertainers(or any other celebs), talking about them is not because I care about what they do or don't do. Spending some of my spare time talking about them(celebs in general) is just another form of entertaining for me.

Oh come on, don't you think the Vietnamese government know about Pitt?

Anyway, it's understandable if he is under contract to stay here and filming.

He was not in Vietnam with her did not mean that they have problem in their relationship.

Why didn't she take Shiloh with her and leave Maddox and Z(couldn't spell her name) at home? Don't you think it's better for Jolie to spend as much time as she could with Shiloh(because she just "came" out)? Maybe she is daddy's little girl and that's why she left it at home with Pitt? Now, that she wants Pax to be able to adjust to his new life...does that mean the attention is now fully(or most of it) focus on Pax? Poor Shiloh.

I am sure the VietNam govt. know they are not married, they are one of the most famous couples in the world.

I agree that I hope they stay together to raise these kids

I couldn't agree more. I have no idea why people would even think for a second that a family with 4 kids isn't going to be properly taken care of. There are SO MANY families that consist of 4, 5, 6 kids and they all get well taken care of.

So ridiculous if you ask me.

There are LOTS of people who grew up with plenty of siblings and turned out to be wonderful people.

I couldn't agree more. When our grandmothers had their kids all they did was staying at home and taking care of them, not leaving them to nannies and going to work on a new movie. Of course it's still better to live like this than to live in an orphanage but if they really want to take a good care about those kids, perhaps they should slow down with their work a little. They have enough money to stop working for some time, so maybe they could just spend some time with their kids. Especially now when they have a new addition to their family, a boy who's not an infant and who can't even speak English. He will definitely need a lot of time and a lot of attention. I hope he and his siblings will get than attention and time because it's the most important thing is a child's life.

WEDDING BELLS FOR BRANGELINA

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are set to exchange their I dos during an Easter Caribbean wedding!

As you may recall, Brangelina fell in love with the Dominican Republic during a recent holiday, and now they have allegedly decided it is the perfect place for their nuptials.

A source tells the upcoming issue of OK! magazine: "While they were in the Dominican Republic, Brad bought a huge plot of land and helped design a fabulous house. It's there they intend to become Mr and Mrs Pitt."

Brad, Angelina and their ever-growing family are expected to fly out to the exotic country in the next two weeks and want the ceremony to be a "family affair."
The source added: "Pax and Maddox are old enough to be page boys and it's always been Angie's dream that this wedding will be a true family affair."

Pax and Mad in little white tuxedos? Count me in!

^^ sorry, didn't make it clear that the rest of the answer was in general!,

I just didn't agree with what you said about the little boy's face and the attention stuff. indeed, you didn't say anything else, and the rest of my post referred to the general discussion.

actually I agree with you but since we don't know I can't just assume that they do not get any attention or time from them. my SIL has 4 children and both her husband and her work, and she still manages time for her children. and we just do not know how they manage their life. I see a lot of pics of them together as a family, so I reckon they are just fine.

but in general:
i reckon pitt didn't go bec she should adopt by herself. maybe she didn't want to take the baby bec they need time and she wanted to give it to the little boy she just adopted? also, I am pretty sure she took the older kids so he can get used to his sister and brother. I just don't get why people always look for the negative.

My grandmother has 11 children and they were all taken care of and loved equally. She had nannies (in Africa this is not unusual) and all of my aunts and uncles came out great and LOVE her to death.

I would prefer to be adopted by Angie & Brad and have a nanny around to make my life easier than to be stuck in an orphanage.

Anyway, I love this pic of them!!
