There were tears shed (Pax's, not hers), but Angelina calmed the boy by speaking a few words in Vietnamese and by playing with him. Reuters reports:
Jolie was quick to hug him and told him in Vietnamese "Khong sao dau, khong sao dau" (No problem, no problem) and immediately started playing with him, Lao Dong (Labour) newspaper reported.The boy's caregiver said his favorite dishes included fried noodle and yoghurt and that he can count from 1 to 10 in English, the Tuoi Tre (Youth) newspaper reported.
Jolie fetched the boy from the orphanage on Thursday and signed adoption papers with authorities in the southern city, which is Vietnam's largest urban area with 8 million people.
Reporters, photographers and TV crews outside the hotel where Jolie was staying have not seen her since a car took her from the government building where she signed adoption papers on Thursday.
Which photo agency do you think will snap that first photo of Angelina and Pax together?
Jess says:
"No Problem, No Problem" Yeah, that will calm a three year old torn away from the only home he's ever known and given to a complete stranger that he can't understand.
Brilliant as always Ang!
Poor kid.
la-dee-da says:
Wow, she sure picks the cute ones, no? I hope her next adoptee has an eye patch and a hobble. Then, and only then will I give her the respect she so obviously craves.
I wonder if she would ever consider becoming a foster mom to American kids?
Just sayin' is all.

That won't be a toughie...She'll pimp that kid infront of the press the first chance she gets. What you should wonder about is when will be get to see baby Shiloh again. (probably when her daddy grows a spine and takes her away)
Just sayin says:
She does pick these kids based on aesthetics, not any real emotion...but she picked a bad one w/Zee.
As cute as she was as a baby, she is one ugly toddler!
hmweis says:
Zzzzzzz. I'm so sick of hearing about what an angel Angelina is. I agree with Jess about tearing this poor child from anything he can relate to. He won't even be able to communicate with his own "family".
amle says:
THe photographer who get the first picture??
Well, it all depends on who her publicist calls. They always let the media know when & where they will be.
Maynards says:
Agreed. The kid has lost his home, his history, his ancestry and his ability to communicate. Nice going Ang.
Nice to know there is officially NOTHING that money can't buy.
BBB says:
You people are pathetic. Only sad and miserable human beings would think that it is better for a child to spend his life in an orphange than to be adopted.
The reason we'll get a picture of Pax soon is because Jolie, Pitt, and their children sell magazines and increase blog hits. Even the people that claim they hate Jolie are always reading and posting about her. I don't read and post about people I don't like. I skip over anything about Paris. I don't feel the need to post how much I hate someone over and over and over agsin.
Jolie and Pitt fans are called loonies but I see that the reverse is true. No one is more obsessed with Jolie than her haters.

BBBBBB...
I do not see any post on here that says " that it is better for a child to spend his life in an orphange than to be adopted. "
It's being adopted by a megomanical, self-absorbed, whore for publicity that sucks.
Now, shut the fck up and run along.
Maynards says:
Ha! What Masque said! (but it's "megalo" *wink*)
cyndi says:
1. it is easy (obviously) to adopt in a foreign country than the u.s.a., even when the parent is completely worthless abusive drug abusing ass.
2. angelina has purchased land in maddox's and z's homeland so that they can always go home again
3. angelina is a u.n. ambassador so yes she can speak a least a little of any language that she goes to, so sue her (and you probably would) if like most AMERICAN adults she probably can't learn it as fast as she might need to. just to hear your own language can sometimes be helpful especially to a child that might not understand anything else.
4. did you ever think they were tears of joy, and if they were tears of sadness, tears over having to leave all the children that he has grown up and known all his life, like most children would.
BBB says:
"Now, shut the fck up and run along."
What's wrong did I hit a nerve? Do you often use profanity to get your point across? How old are you?
The people posting on this subject act as though everything Jolie does is wrong and evil. I think that is rather sad. Hating a person you don't know can not be good for you. Also, if you hate her so much don't read about her.
MasqueORD says:
cyndi :
1) uh, well, you hit the nail on the head there.
2) They can return to the country they were born in, if they grow up sane.
3) UN Ambassador does not equate to multi-lingual. Perhaps you were not aware, but she is an "ambassador" because she is (was) a sought after, filthy rich celebrity that took a title they would have offered to any other filthy rich actor.
Sure they were tears of joy! Your being pulled out of the only place your have ever lived, thrown in the arms of a complete stranger that only babbles "No Problem"...yeah! I'm sure his little heart was doing cartwheels.
MasqueORD says:
How old am i? Back off lady, i'm taken.
Oh, and fck yeah, i do swear sometimes...m'bad.
cyndi says:
she was not sought after for the position of ambassador.
she went after it after playing lara croft, and going to those 3rd world countries and seeing the state of the people living there.
just because you can hate doesnt mean you are right.
hell i am not very fond of brit, paris or jen ani, but i am not going to sit here and spout gibberish just because i dont like them.
and yes they could have been tears of joy, he was going to have a family, something he has never had before. i think that is a couse for tears.
MORD says:
Whatever gets you thru the night Cyndi...
Carrie says:
Does he even speak english?
I'm guessing Splash or TMZ will get the 1st shot; those bitches are everywhere!
Maritza says:
Without a doubt the Insider or Entertainment will get the first pictures. Haven't you noticed how all these videos and stuff about Anna Nicole has been coming out? Isn't it odd, mmm. Maybe just maybe Howard has been selling this stuff secretly and said he had been robbed.
Catherine Bee says:
People would rather criticize someone DOING SOMETHING ABOUT POVERTY AND HURT than do it themselves. It makes them feel powerful. I am sure that Angelina and Brad Pitt give a flying f**k about what these kind of people think. Save someone and then bitch. Or go bury your bitterness in food.
