Jolie arrives in Vietnam to adopt boy

Angelina Jolie arrived in Vietnam today, where she plans to adopt a three-year-old boy.

Airport security officials told a photographer working for the Associated Press that Jolie was whisked into a car with dark windows and driven away.

Jolie was expected to attend an adoption ceremony with Vietnamese officials in Ho Chi Minh City tomorrow morning, according to adoption officials.

The boy was abandoned at a Ho Chi Minh City hospital as a baby and then taken to the nearby Tam Binh orphanage, where he has lived ever since, said Nguyen Van Trung, the orphanage director.

Shortly after he arrived at the orphanage, the Tam Binh staff tried unsuccessfully to locate the boy’s birth parents.

The adoption is being processed quickly because the boy is an older child, and his files were nearly complete before Jolie decided to adopt, Trung said.

Jolie and her partner Brad Pitt have three children: five-year-old Maddox, adopted from Cambodia; two-year-old Zahara, adopted from Ethiopia; and another daughter, Shiloh, who was born to the couple in May.
