Angelina Jolie has officialy adopted a 3-year-old Vietnamese boy.


The boy's name is Pax Thien Jolie, he was born in November 2003. His name means Peaceful Sky – Pax is peace in Latin and Thien is sky in Vietnamese.


Angelina Jolie wrote in the visitors' book of the Tam Binh orphanage:

Thank you for taking such wonderful care of my son,

I am sure he will miss your beautiful, caring staff as much as you will miss him.

The boy had been living at the Tam Binh orphanage outside Ho Chi Minh City ever since he was abandoned at a hospital as a baby.


Because Vietnamese law makes it difficult for unmarried couples to adopt, Angelina Jolie applied solo, but she and her partner Brad Pitt together will welcome Pax to their family


Pax, whose given name before he was adopted was Pham Quang, is the fourth child for Angelina and Brad Pitt. They already have a son called Maddox, who was adopted from Cambodia, and two daughters Zahara, who was adopted from Ethiopia, and 10-month-old Shiloh, who was born to the couple last year.
