Brangelina to Adopt a Boy from Vietnam



Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are in the process of adopting a child from Vietnam. A U.S. adoption agency representing Jolie has filed papers at Vietnam's International Adoption Agency, the agency's director, Vu Duc Long, confirmed to the Associated Press on Friday.

"She just filed the papers this week," Long said.

Long would not name the U.S. adoption agency working with Jolie, who applied to adopt as a single parent.

Jolie and Pitt made a surprise visit to Vietnam last Thanksgiving, when they visited the Tam Binh orphanage, on the outskirts of Ho Chi Minh City. Their pictures were splashed across the front page of Vietnamese newspapers, showing the couple cruising around Ho Chi Minh City on a motorbike.

Nguyen Van Trung, the director of the Tam Binh orphanage, declined to comment. He said he was awaiting the papers from the International Adoption Agency. The couple reportedly wants to adopt a boy around 3 or 4 years of age.
