Another adoption for Angelina
August 26, 2003
Angelina Jolie is reportedly set to adopt another child, after spending time investigating the possibility on a goodwill mission for the U.N. in Russia, reports IMDB.com.
The “Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life” star spent hours engaged in talks with adoption authorities and also visited a children’s hospital on the trip, where she had spoken passionately in defense of Chechen refugees.
Jolie is the mother of 2-year-old Maddox, whom she adopted from Cambodia, and she has previously spoken of her desire to adopt more needy kids.
“I prefer to adopt,” she said. “With every adoption I save a further child from the orphanage. That’s the way I see it.”
And according to Britain’s Daily Star, the 28-year-old Oscar winner (“Girl, Interrupted”) will adopt again once she starts filming Catherine the Great later this year in Russia.
