Pax a Pitt!

61. To all you parents out there that have adopted a child from another country:

Your comments in defense of Angelina are absurd. She is going about this all wrong. Everyone who has adopted an older child (not infant) is told by the adoption agency that they need to take at least 3 months to make a bond with the child. ABSOLUTELY NO! I repeat NO outside contact with anyone other than the parents. Not even Grandparents!!! They are told to stay home not work and BOND. Get that little person to trust you, love you and know you will always be there for them. Little Pax is seen already being dropped off at SCHOOL!! I could not believe my eyes when I saw this. Angelina was in Chicago 2 days after bringing him home. She is working full time. He is bonding to one parent and that is Brad. He is the only one seen with this poor child and that's dropping him off at school. He always has the saddest most far away look on his face. I feel so sorry for this child. Then they expose him to paparazzi. Angelina: You two faced hypocrite! Go home!!!!!! Make that bond. It is probably already too late. You are the most self centered person in the world. You worry about all the children in the world and you could care less about your own. You publicly show it.

I speak from experience here. Angelina Jolie does not know the first think about adopting an older child that is not an infant. It is completely different circumstance and she is blowing it. Pax did not even speak english when he came here. He is flying all over the world. No real home, a different bed every night, no security. All the money in the world doesn't by you the comfort, love and security a mother gives you from her heart. If Angelina had a heart she would not be putting that child through this..

63. ...
Believe me, I've seen moms who stay home. But all they do is to turn on the TV for their children.

If you said having nannies is bad, then you are insulting all the WORKING MOMS.

Dear Working Mom
Here we go again- I don't think anyone said you shouldn't have childcare-but lets get real - your tired ass slugging through your shift at Walmart to support your kids isn't the same as working on films - jetting around the world for photo ops with he worlds orphans and running a staff of 20 to maintain your lifestyle. Don't even bother talking about quality time. What quality is there when your Mom is never home and only likes to spend time with the more unfortunate of the tribe?
Oh and don;t bore us with your Mom's at home turning on the TV speech. That's old and tired. There's alot of tired working Mom's who do the same thing when they get home and have to put the macaroni on the table. You don't have to slag the Mom's at home that drive your crappy kids to field trips to make your point. No one said childcare is bad. It just shouldn't replace parenting.

65. Why are haters spreading LIES?

It's one thing not to like her. But to manufacture LIES to support your post?

1) It takes a little bit of time to bond with an older child. But there is NO such thing as to, according to one post, "....absolutely NO outside contact, not even grandparents....". Use common sense. If anyone is reading this, please do your research, and dont just eat up anybody's posting.

2) Pax doesnt speak English. But it should not be an issue. My children doesnt speak English. But the minute they start school, they pick up really fast. After all, children this young, 3 or 4 are beginning to learn language, whether in English or another foreign language. Pax will pick up the language in no time.

3) Pax is dropped off at pre-school. Children learn from each other. It's good to have social interaction with other children. They learn to share, react, play in a group environment. Angie is doing that correctly. I'm so glad they can attend the pre-school for a couple hours a day at the embassy.

4) Stability is not referring to the same city, same house. Stability is referring to having the same routine, that is like Angie said, breakfast together in the morning, going to bed at a fixed time at night whether it is in a city in the USA or in a city in Europe. Stability is also referring to having the same parent, that the parent are not into drugs, that the parents are not fighting, that the parents are bringing different boy/girl friends home every night.

I hope people will not believe all the garbage of the haters. As I've said earlier, you dont have to like Angie. But I dont believe in writing LIES purposely to defame a person.

66. For the past year, I have been lurking on and off on
this site, but have never posted, and throughout this
time some posings have made me upset, angry and
frustrated.

First, children who travel extensively are at a
disadvantage - This is such an asinine misconception.
As a youngster (1 of 3 siblings) my dad’s job entailed
travelling a lot. We did this from ages 3 to 16 to
various parts of the world. We had a private tutor
mostly, but also attended local schools - “In a
nutshell” - we each speak 5 languages fluently and
have an understanding of 3 more; the richness and
diversity of of each country and the people were
overwhelming. The friends (lifelong) we made, the fun
we had - no history or geography book could ever give
one that experience.

On the other hand, when one sees the squalor and
conditions that some people live in, one develops a
great deal of empathy for the underprivileged and the
appreciation of the life that we are accustomed to. I
would guarantee that if everyone of those critics who
has never left the constraints of their home decide to
travel, they would understand that this world is huge
and the ability to learn and co-exist with another
human being (no matter what ethnic, colour, religion,
rich, poor) will be extremely rewarding.

Secondly, because of my experience a a child, I have
been involved with UNICEF since 1990, and I find it
extremely offensive when individuals utter asinine and
nasty comments about children they do not know nor
have ever personally met.

I pity individuals who, for their inadequacies, have
to utter such inane comments referring to how a child
looks, the condition of their hair or their proposed
addiciton in the future. It would be awesome if that
hate can be diverted to something positive like
fighting poverty. Every child has the right to health,
tenderness and life, and this is why I admire people
like Ms Jolie.

67. to the person who said Angie doesnt love her daughter,

About Shiloh, You need to get off that, because you have no idea how much she hold her.

A few public snapshots in an airport or on a street say nothing about what they do at home.

68. A good mother has to have the passion that she wants to have children. If you have the passion in a certain thing, you will enjoy it and will succeed .

A good mother does not have to be 24/7. In fact it's good to have outside interest or a job outside the house. It is good for the "mental health being" of the brain. It is a well known fact that Brad and Angie love children. I am optimistic that there is good coming out of this family.

Jennifer Aniston should not be a mother for now. I do not see her having the desire to be one. I am not saying she is a bad person. One has the right to choose a career over family. She did choose career, fame and money. Good for her.

Some poster said Angie should stay home with the children. Saying this is an insult to all the working mom. As I said before, a good mom is not 24/7.

We dont live a stone age anymore. Many woman combine motherhood and career. Many women are highly educated. They combine motherhood and career successfully and beautifully. Think Elizabeth Vargas (ABC newswoman).
She goes back to work a few months after the baby was born.

. Being a working mother is not fun and game. But it is definitely manageable. You just have to be efficient. I applaude Angie's as a working mom. I wish her success. I see her alternating parenthood with Brad. We see Brad filming Ocean's 13 while Angie staying home for the children. Now I see Brad hanging out with the kids while Angie makes movie. This is excellent. You can find fault on that.

Another reason for woman combining motherhood with careeris that a person works because of intellectual stimulation and professional satisfaction. Think Bill Gates, he is the richest man, yet he is still the CEO of Microsoft.

69. Haters feel that since the children travel that much , there is no stability for the kids. I think you are worrying too much.

Stability for a child is NOT referring to staying put in one single city. Stability for a child is referring to a child having loving parents, that one parent is not bringing a different boyfriend or girlfriend every few months, It refers to the parents who are loving, attentive and kind to their children. It refers to the parents who are not on drugs or alcohol. It refers to the harmony of the household.

People are too quick to jump to conclusion that Angie's children should stay put in one city for schooling and not do much travelling. I am sure her children are home schooled . There is nothing wrong with home school. The curriculum is more customized. Social skills does not have to be achieved in a school environment.

For example, Mad can pick up tennis, or play with other children on the set. Home schooling is acturally more work. There are progress reports to file with the proper department. The child will be tested just like you and me.



I have no problem in Angie's travelling. At this young age, it is actually good for them .

Travel is knowledge. It broadens your mind. It expands your horizon. You cant get anything better than that.

I cannot predict whether Jolie and Pitt's children will have a successful career in acting, doctor, engineer. This is too early to tell. But I can say, without a word of doubt., that these children will grow up well adapted, good team player, and responsible citizens.

People should be kind to this family. For those people who wrote hateful and hurtful remarks, remember, you reap what you sow.

70. Wow, you people are hateful little things. First off, ANYTHING posted on this web site is NOT NEWS. So don't pretend you are here to read the news, you are here because you enjoy gossip. Second you have no clue about Brad, Angie or their wonderful kids. You have no idea what life was like for those three children before they were adopted, or what it would have been like if Ang hadn't of rescued them. Saying you don't think people should adopt children from overseas shows your hatred in the form of racism. One of you said something about a Nanny at Pax's orphanage? Do you even think about what you say? Orphanages DO NOT HAVE NANNY'S, and FYI, both Angie AND Brad travelled to Viet Nam before Pax was adopted. They met him, He bonded with them, the orphanage knew that both parents would ultimately become the parents. It's true, Angie adopted him alone. That is tha law there, but the plan all along was for Brad to become his father. Maddie and Z don't even remember the orphanages they came from. They were infants, when they were adopted. Z was a Jolie-Pitt from her earliest memory, Maddie loved brad and wanted him to be his daddy when the papers were filed for Brad to become his father. Brad loves all four children as if they were all his biological children. He's always wanted a large family. Thier relationship is one of the most beautiful committed relationships I have ever seen in my entire life. They both believe in the same things. They both love their children, they both care about the state of the world, both in America and abroad. That is obviously something you petty people who like to wollow in the tragedies of other people would have no clue about. Both Angie and Brad do a LOT to help people of all ages in America, as well as overseas. They gave a LOT of money to Viet Nam, They have created amazing humanitarian projects in every country their children were born in, including Shiloh, For once in your lives give these wonderful people the privacy they deserve, or at least recognize that they are using their fame to create a better world. Due to their efforts people around the globe have gotten involved and/or donated to help. It's the only good thing that has come from these awful stalkarazi's. IF YOU HAVE NEVER MET A PERSON YOU SHOULDN'T SIT IN JUDGEMENT, YOU DON'T KNOW THE WHOLE STORY, most of the time even if you do know someone you never know the whole story. YOU SHOULD ALL BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELVES. Get the hell off these gossip sites, and go out and create happiness in your lives, help others, love, live, learn. Take Brad and Angies example and make someething wonderful of your life that will have you remembered for years to come as a valuable contributor to society. One thing I can assure you, if you were famous, neither of these two wonderful people would be sitting around discussing your lives or pretending to know anything about you. They don't gossip. They have self-respect, which is something that is needed to not live a life of gossip hounding. I am so glad I am nothing like you people and I am thrilled to know that there are wonderful people like Brad, Angie and their entire group of friends who aren't like you people.

71. i hope Shiloh never reads that her biological mother called her a priviledged blob. If she feels Shi is different, why did she have her? Why not have all dark kids in her tribe. She is denying her own father access to his granddaughter because of her selfishness. Time will tell how these kids are affected, but it can't be good for them to hear her calling them names, or is it only Shiloh who gets the brunt of her cruelty? She is not one of the most beautiful imo.. I don't consider a tatooed, boney, stragley haired, bug eyed, huge mouthed female beautiful. Add to that , a homewrecker.

72. Why don't the children WALK? Why does Angelina always carry these children around like humanitarian props? It makes no sense and looks ridiculous!

Posted at 3:39AM on Jun 1st 2007 by NOT an Angelina Jolie fan!

73. I really hope that Pax and Shiloh can manage to maintain some sense of self-esteem in that household. Poor Pax Pitt, and Shiloh, too. Also, some of the really extreme Brangelina fans need to cool it. You shouldn't be arguing with every poster who admits a dislike for Brangelina. If they're here for gossip -- well, so are you.

74. It is truly sad and scary that some people are so ignorant of the adoption process. It can take years and an exhorbinant amount of money to adopt both internationally and within the U.S. It is a shame that here in the U.S. children have become a bartering tool where adoptive parents are forced to parade themselves in front of the birth parent(s) for approval - in essence competeing for an adoptive child.Yes, the birth parent chooses the adoptive parent for their child. For some who have love to give and only moderate means, this may mean years of waiting for a child to bring home.Those adoptive children not so lucky to be adopted in infancy may end up being bandied about in the foster care system where they may receive some modicum of love. I have been to the orphanages in Russia and I can tell you that the foster care system here, as much as it could use an overhaul, is greatly preferable to being stuck in those institutions.
All children are worthy of love and a good family life. And I am for anyone or anything that puts any child from any country into a loving and supportive home. So until you have "been there and done that " please do not judge anyone trying to help an innocent child.

75. Pax looked so cute on the picture when he was living in the orphanage. Now, his face looks so stressed and his eyes are puffy with bags under his eyes. He just doesn't have the beautiful and placid face he had in the orphanage. He doesn't seem to be the same child anymore.
