Angie Baby, Don't Break Our Hearts OR Vietnamese Adoption Laws

The prettiest adoptive parents since the beginning of time are considering expanding their fair family even further.  But adopting a Vietnamese baby is starting to make Brad and Angelina seem more like Madonna than Mother Theresa. 

According to recent reports, Angelina Jolie is filing to adopt a Vietnamese baby claiming to be "single" even though she lives with and shares custody of her other children with Brad Pitt, a clear contravention of Vietnamese adoption law.

This certainly isn't the first time celebrities have bent adoption rules, and unfortunately it probably won't be the last.  Adoption appears to be the new in thing for Hollywood couples and I look forward to seeing if this new rage takes off.  Meanwhile, if the rest of the world continues to despair of the arrogance and thoughtlessness of famous Americans who deign to adopt, while ignoring the laws of the countries of their adoptive children, who can blame them?

I'm still laughing at the "Prettiest adoptive parents" line.

Good stuff.

I wonder if they get the kids for free, the same way they get free dinners and clothes...

Okay maybe it's just me but isn't the fact that she and Brad aren't married enough to support her claim of being single. I know there is common law etc., but technically she is indeed single.

Besides if reports are to be believed she's honing in on Angeline insecurity meltdown time and she will be single and alone again by the time the adoption comes through. Check her track record, she's showing the signs already.
