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.

61. So the kid gets his name but he's not a legal parent to any of the adopted kids. She's still trash and horrible for changing this poor kids name, twice now!

62. What?
BRAD IS THE LEGAL FATHER OF MADDOX AND ZAHARA SINCE MAY 2006. PAX'S ADOPTION WILL TAKE MONTHS. SEE #16 COMMENT.

63. Many of you who condemn this woman can't stand it that she and Brad are making liars of all of the tabloids who have predicted every conceivable lie about their relationship . And for you posters who bring up her life from kindergarten to her rebelous adolescence only because she was honest in her interviews about her life ( unlike most people in hollywood and not ) I would love for your life to be exposed as thoroughly . Plus, as a UNHCR ambassador she is mandated to bring attention to the causes of the third world by her position as a star . She does not have to ask for or seek media coverage , she is hounded by it . Since this is the case she tries to direct the media coverage to the causes she champions for the UNHCR . But you negative posters don't want to understand this . You prefer to view everything she does negatively .

64. Why hasn't Brad officially adopted Angie's kids? Are they just keeping up appearances?

67. Its human nature to bitch..not all people want the worst for this family. It must be very hard for celebrities to have a fairly normal life as we know it. There is not one of us that have lived a perfect life. And I dont believe many of us were not wild as teenagers, and havent done stupid things. I think this woman has grown up and found her nitch in life. A purpose and need to redirect all of the energy she has shown to have in the past.

Angelina said in an interview (Actor's Studio) that she has been to therapy. She said she didn't find it that helpful, though.

69. I find her comment about American women having their own kids being selfish offensive.
i have no problem with adoption , but how dare her or anyone else say that we are 'selfish' for wanting to bring our own children into the world.

70. How about... Dave Jolie? Or Dave Jolie-Pitt? Or George Pitt? Or Steve Pitt? Or William Jolie? Remember when Brad Pitt first hit the radar and people were saying, "Pitt? As in armpit? What kind of a gross name is that for a movie star?

71. Hey, #15
I don't what law school you went to but adopting a child is a matter of public record in America. If one does adopt a child in America public notice is placed in the paper where the child resides to see if anyone connected such as the biological usually father can petition the court to stop the adoption. Second, the only information that is sealed in America is identifying information such as the biological parents names , date of birth and their birthplace. Three why are you SHOUTING, he who shouts not always gets heard , but in your case since your acting as if you are an expert in adoption law, I felt a laymen such as myself and one who has been adopted needs to clue you in on the one thing you are not an expert on. I seriously doubt you deal with international law such as which their laws are different than American laws, duh! One other thing what is of public record concerning the adoptee is their amended birth certificate not the original, that is sealed , unless one petitions the court and shows that they have a medical condition that pertains to their birth parents , the adoptee cannot obtain anything but non-identifying information. Oh by the way, Brad Pitt has not adopted Angelina's children , in this country anyone can request a name change, she could name her children ass, wipe and clown for that matter, she can legally name her children after Brad . Go back to law school , I don't know where you practice your half-assed law maybe you got your degree in prison but I wouldn't hire you to represent my dead grandmother. Nothing makes me more mad than someone who spouts off false information to make themselves feel better. Have a nice day.

73. Most countries prefer not to adopt to unmarried couples. The end.

Hot couple.

74. This is great news and I am so happy for them. While speculation and false rumours run rampant in the tabloids, Brad and Angie are just busy living their lives and raising their family. Angelina worked a total of 35 days last year and will work about 40 this year, so the kids will get plenty of love and attention from her and Brad. The whole family will go to Prague while Angelina films, because their family is their priority and they take turns working on film projects as much as possible.

Instead of sitting in an orphanage with 100's of other children, fighting for love and attention from their caretakers, Pax will have an amazing life with two loving parents and many loving siblings, a great education, and all the opportunity in the world. He is a very lucky little boy and I have no doubt that he will say the same as he grows older.

Posted at 9:55PM on Apr 24th 2007 by Bravo Angelina and Brad!

75. Me- I will be happy to represent your dead grandmother when I graduate from law school in two years.

As you have noticed I do not type in all caps.

P.S. I agree with you as well.
