Jolie recalls nightmare meeting with dying baby

Angelina Jolie still has nightmares of the day she first came face to face with her adopted Ethiopian baby, because she was on the brink of death.

The actress is pleased to report that little Zahara is now fit and well - and looks nothing like she did when Jolie first saw her in an orphanage. So much so, she has given her the nickname "chubby".

Jolie recalls: "She was six months and not nine pounds. Her skin, you could squeeze it, it stuck together… It was terrifying. Some children who were in a very similar situation to her passed away."

Zahara has since gained six pounds and thrills her new mum daily: "She's gained six pounds. We're calling her chubby - she's just a totally different baby. It's amazing what difference food and little bit of care makes."

Jolie admits she wakes every morning grateful to be a mum to her adopted kids Mad (Maddox) and Z.

She says: "They're the greatest little people that I've ever met. They give me so much joy and I wanna make a better world for them. I'm just grateful every day that I have the chance."
