Papa Pitt Protects Pax from Paps

31. This guy is an embarrassment to his "hometown" of Springfield, Mo. He use to be an "ok" person until he moved to hollyWIERD. His brother is NOTHING like him. Brad is a spoiled has been of an actor. He never sneaks into town anymore like he use to. What a waste.

32. Don't call him a bastard, but he is a lucky kid. They are taking children from around the world, taking them out of hopeless, opressive, devastating circumstances and seeing what happens when those children are given love, health and an education. They should not be condemened for what they are trying to do, but should be supported and more people of means should follow their example. In a their own small way they are changing the world and I admire them for that. I can't wait to see what they do next!

33. ok-curious, let's get accurate. THEY are not adopting these children SHE is. He is not the legal father of any of the children she has adopted. In my opinion, they are being VERY irresponsible because if anything should happen to her, Shiloh is the only one he has rights to. They may have the name "Jolie-Pitt" but the adopted children are not his and will be re-orphaned should anthing happen to her.

34. Amy, by reorphaned, do you mean they would be sent back to orphanages in the original countries? Do you not believe that the court system in the good ole US of A might award custody to the father they have known and loved? Maybe you believe that they would just fly them to their countries of origin and drop them from a helicopter, is that really what you think would happen? You might consider getting some type of therapy, or just by chance, tomorrow you might wake up in the real world.

36. Does anyone think it's curious that there are 7 paparrazzi STANDING outside of a doctor's office in Manhattan and Brad and Pax just happen to pull up there in their SUV at that particular moment to go to an appointment. The paps aren't in the street, they're not hopping out of cars after a chase, they are positioned on the sidewalk. How would they know that those two are going to show up RIGHT then. And just a day after Angelina gets a bunch of flack for trying to control the media, no less.

I have no sympathy for this couple. I think they must be very f-ed up. They pimp their children for good press and to portray an image to the public. I'm sure they love these kids, but there is something very wrong with these two. This is pimping. There's no way those photographers would have been there if the Pitt/Jolie camp hadn't tipped them. You don't catch it often, but something this obvious, you can't misread it.

Such fantastic parents.

37. I don't understand why everyone is saying leave the children alone, when its Brad and Witchie who keep putting the kids in the spot light!!! There are plenty of other famous people who have children and can manage to keep them out of the spot light!! And yes, why can't they adopt from the U.S. I have adopted my children here and they are wonderful, happy, and healthy!! I know that there are others in different countries but why not start here! No matter how hard people try they are not going to fix these countries.

38. curious---don't be ridiculous. i never said anything about returning them to their country and why would you think i need therapy? there are plenty of children orphaned in the united states, not just in other countries. and no---i do not trust that any court system in the united states would automatically give custody to a man just becauase he lived under the same roof as their adoptive mother. i continue to think that she is very irresponsible to put her adopted children in such a situation.

39. I believe that Mr Pitt has filed to adopt the first two children. I don't think it has been finalized yet. All of the adoptees have his name, but it's true that he is not their legal father until he adopts them. Similar to a step parent adoption. Pax would not be sent back to VietNam if something happened to Ms Jolie. I would think that she would have a guardianship set up in her will, which would carry until Brad's adoption of the child(ren) is final.

Adoption medicine is a legitimate specialty. Many children adopted from overseas have specific medical issues, many of which are not found in children in developed countries. For example, rickets. Many of the birth mothers had no prenatal care and/or drank during preganancy. Dr Aronson is a well known specialist in this field.

TMZ you have sunk to a new low by calling a child -- ANY CHILD -- a bastard.

40. By the way, those of you who keep saying there are "plenty" of children orphaned in the United States are not correct. There are very few true orphans here, and even fewer who are available for adoption. There are, however, many children available for fostering.

41. M- I agree with you. I thought it was very wrong to change his first name at his age. It is a part of his identity. The one thing he had from his former life they took from him. I find that sad.

On another note, TMZ, it's one thing to take photos of parents that are celebrities, but leave their children alone! Let these kids have some type of normal life. Let their parents take them to the park, or on a walk without being swarmed. Their parents knew what they were getting into when they became famous, but the children are innocent bystanders.

42. It is amazing to me that the normal average parent must give written permission to anyone to allow them to photograph their children, and without doubt publish the photo. Why are people who are known as Stars treated differently. And I can assure you, anyone who would refer to a small child as a Bastard, is totally inhuman. This is one time that either Brad or Angelina should read a news release and sue the person who made that comment. I would!!!!

43. The only real bastard child is the Daughter those two had together. The other children are adopted, therefore not bastards anymore. And who want's to adopt in this county anyway. They are mostly crack babies. Very difficult to deal with.
What i think is sad is that this couple probably won't marry and won't stay together. They will ruin 4 childen's lives! Or more if they keep adopting.

44. I love the Pitt-Jolie family unit. Most times, celebs. are open target for photos but, I think it's in poor taste to snap them going into a doctor's office.
