Pax Thien Jolie Makes 4

Angelina Jolie has added another child to the family. Last week she adopted a 3 year old Vietnamese boy named Pham Quang Sang. According to this article, Angelina plans to change his name to Pax Thien Jolie, which combines the a name that combines the Latin word for peace and the Vietnamese word for sky.

One thing I found very touching while reading the article was that the oldest of the Jolie (or is it Jolie-Pitt, I’m not sure) children, Maddox was with his mother to pick up his new brother, and though the two don’t speak the same language they were able to communicate through sign language. At 5 and 3 the boys both knew sign language and didn’t let the language barrier keep them from getting to know one another and communicate?

I commend Angelina for giving these children a chance at a better life. How about you, what do you think? Is she doing what is good and right for the right reasons in your opinion?

I think it's very refreshing to see a "Star" actually do something productive with all their money. That being said, adoption isn't for everyone, but I can see she has a passion for it. I take my hat off to her.

I hope that she plans on taking some time off to mothering all of these kids under 10 years old. Other then that, I say go for it. Many children need a home and if you can afford it go for it.

As long as she's providing a stable environment for them I think it's great. I've read some negative comments towards her regarding this but she's greatly improving the lives of these children. That' can't be a bad thing.
