Angelina Jolie Might Soon Come Home To Find A Vietnamese Orphan With Giant Red Bow On Its Head Sitting In Her Driveway
Possessing love reserves far too great to squander merely on her current family configuration of "2 miraculous, multicultural orphans/1 amorphous vanilla blob/1 eager-to-please, diaper-changing studmuffin," actress, humanitarian, and adoption addict Angelina Jolie has taken the necessary legal steps to finally fill the Vietnamese-baby-shaped hole in her heart:
Angelina Jolie has filed papers to adopt a child in Vietnam, the country's top adoption official said Friday.
According to the Associated Press, the director of Vietnam's International Adoption Agency said an American adoption agency representing Jolie had submitted the paperwork.
"She just filed the papers this week," Vu Duc Long said.
The incorporation of yet another culture to the already overtaxed Jolie-Pitt holiday calendar should be a challenge in and of itself: Between the celebrations of the Cambodian Royal Ploughing Ceremony, Enkutatash (Ethiopian New Year), and now the addition of Tet Trung Thu—the traditional Vietnamese mid-autumn festival—there will barely be time for even the condensed version of Christmas the family currently celebrates as a token gesture to acknowledge Shiloh's heritage. Their sole biological child might have to simply accept that next December 26th, she may wake up, run downstairs, and fail to find a wrapped gift shaped like a trowel, with a card attached reading, "Those who work the land never go hungry. Love, Santa."
