Pax's New Name -- It's the Pitts!

Click here for pax's documentsAngelina Jolie has filed a petition in L.A. County Superior Court to change the name of her latest adopted child from Pax Thien Jolie to Pax Thien Jolie-Pitt.

In papers filed April 16 and obtained today by TMZ, Angelina -- the sole adoptive parent of Pax -- is requesting the change so it will reflect the last name of her partner, Brad Pitt, and so it is the same as that of her other three children.

Angelina adopted the three-and-a-half-year-old little boy from an orphanage in Vietnam last March.

6. Why don't Angelina and Brad just gonnne and ADMIT that they're married! We won't be MAD at em'. But adopting all these kids "out of wedlock" is becoming questionable! What man in his right mind is going to continuously sign his name to children that are not his especailly . . . if he's not married to the partner? Something fishy is going on here.

7. maybe they both could actually find the time to stay long enough in one place to raise all those kids! What a novel idea that would be. Adopting, changing names are one thing; parenting is a whole nother story. They are never in one place to know where they live, let alone know their own names. Notice that Angie is never seen holding her own biological child!!! What's with that?????

10. The kid is not in an orphanage with a zillion others. He's in a home with a mom and a dad and two sisters and a brother. How cool is that? He's got food, love and a chance at an education. He can go to any school and college his little heart desires.

How can one woman be so selfish???

12. I really hope Brad Pitt has been anonymously donating his sperm places, it doesn't seem right for him to only ever produce one biological kid.

13. She's asking for the name to be changed..Dosen't say anything about Brad adopting the child. I guess he said enough is enough.

14. Angelina is the world's biggest hypocrite - I'm so sick of her sainthood! She wants everyone to respect other cultures? You mean, like she does - changing a 3-YEAR-OLD kid's name to something that has zero to do with HIS culture? Now she's suing some woman who wants to name a perfume 'Shiloh' - even though it has nothing to do with Angie's kid? The name's been around for thousands of years - what a friggin ego on this woman!!

And by the way, has anyone noticed that Angelina has yet to adopt a child who isn't cute, or disabled in some way? It's always one cute kid after another with her. I know for a fact that there are plenty of kids in Africa and these Asian countries she goes to that have plenty of kids whose faces are disfigured by land mines and are in wheelchairs forever with flipper feet - how many of them has Angelina shlepped home, huh? Zero. If she's trying to be Mia Farrow, she has a very long way to go.

She's a hypocrite - nuff said.

15. VIETNAMESE OFFICIALS COULD CARE LESS WHO SOMEONE IS LIVING WITH OR SLEEPING WITH. ANGELINA IS A SINGLE WOMAN. PERIOD. ANGELINA DID NOT BREAK ANY VIETNAMESE LAW WHICH ALLOWS MARRIED COUPLES AND SINGLES (PREFERENCE FOR WOMEN) TO ADOPT.

BRAD HAS STATED THAT HE LEGALLY ADOPTED BOTH MADDOX AND ZAHARA IN MAY 2006. THE FILING OF THE NAME CHANGE PETITION IS JUST THE BEGINNING OF THE PROCESS FOR BRAD TO ADOPT PAX, IT IS EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED WITH MADDOX AND ZAHARA. ADOPTION ITSELF WILL TAKE MONTHS TO BE FINAL. THE NAME CHANGE PETITION IS PUBLIC RECORD AND HAS TO BE PUBLISHED IN A NEWSPAPER OF RECORD FOR NOTICE REASONS. THE ADOPTION PETITIONS AND OTHER RELATED DOCUMENTS ARE CONFIDENTIAL, ALL COURT RECORDS CONCERNING AN ADOPTION ARE SEALED. ADOPTION DOCUMENTS ARE NOT PUBLIC RECORDS. NO ONE HAS A RIGHT TO SEE THEM IN MOST US STATES EXCEPT THE ADOPTEES WHEN THEY ARE ADULTS AND THEIR PARENTS.

TMZ WILL NOT PRINT SEALED CONFIDENTIAL ADOPTION DOCUMENTS FOR ANYONE TO SEE AS TMZ WILL THEN BE IN VIOLATION OF THE LAW AND HARVEY LEVIN (TMZ'S PARENT/AN ATTORNEY) KNOWS THIS.

I AM AN ATTORNEY SO I DO KNOW WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT.
