VietNamNet Bridge - The Bureau of International Adopted Children under the Ministry of Justice is considering the records of the 3.5-year-old boy whom Hollywood star Angelina Jolie wants to adopt.

“There is no problem associated with the records of the boy that Angelina Jolia wants to adopt and we are considering the papers,” said Vu Duc Long, Head of the Bureau of International Adopted Children.

Mr Long said that Jolie’s adoption case is being processed more quickly than normal because she has selected a boy at the Tam Binh Orphan Sponsor Centre already. “Moreover, a celebrated person is certainly treated a little bit different from others,” he added.

According to this official, Jolie will receive a notice to receive the boy next month. After receiving the notice, the actress must pick up the child within three months. The boy will be given to Jolie at a ceremony in HCM City.

After it was reported that Jolie wanted to adopt a Vietnamese child, the actress was criticised by some western newspapers. The US’ National Ledger said that Jolie takes advantage of her reputation to ‘open many doors’ and earns good fame as the Goodwill Ambassador of the UN Refugee Agency and one who devotes herself to charity activities.

Time magazine emphasised that the star performs formalities in a shortcut. The US Weekly even said that Angelina Jolie promised to donate US$2 million to the Tam Binh Orphan Centre after receiving the child.

However, Nguyen Van Trung, Director of the Tam Binh Orphan Centre, rejected the information. “Our goal is to seek a safe home for the child. Jolie has not promised to give anything to the centre,” he affirmed.
