Angelina Jolie’s adoption story began with Maddox Jolie-Pitt in 2002.
Jolie continued, “‘Adoption’ and ‘orphanage’ are positive words in our home.
I am grateful every day.”
In 2007, Jolie adopted three-year-old Pax from an orphanage in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.
But what a tough, remarkable little person," (viaPeople).
Nevertheless, Pitt also legally adopted him in 2008.
Pax was originally named Pham Quang Sang.
They came together to give Pax’s name the beautiful meaning of “peaceful sky.”
Speaking toTIME, orphanage director Nguyen Van Trung divulged that Pax dissolved into tears when Jolie first approached him.
Trung described Pax as a cheerful, friendly kid who was only shy when separated from a group.
“He’s very clever and I hope he has a good life.
We just hope he will return to visit us.
But we don’t know.”
