Angelina and Brad want to adopt a child at 3 or 4 years of age. There are many procedures the couple must go through before being able to take the child home. Contacting the American INS is just the first step.

Mr. Vu Duc Long, head of the Bureau of International Adopted Children (the Ministry of Justice), said that the famous Hollywood lovebirds had started the adoption process in the U.S and hadn't contacted responsible authorities in Vietnam. And Mr. Nguyen Van Trung, director of Tam Binh Orphanage, said that he was waiting for any direction from the Ministry of Justice as well as HCM city Department of Justice.

Ms. Jolie used to say that she wanted to have a multi-racial family. She has a 5-year old Cambodian child named Maddox, and a 2-year old Ethiopian one called Zahara. And the 9-month old Shiloh has both the American and Namibian citizenships. .
