Adoption Groups Criticize Angelina Jolie
Adoption groups have hit back at Angelina Jolie after she criticized the way Madonna gained custody of Malawian baby David Banda – insisting there are still question marks over her adoption of Cambodian son Maddox.
Jolie was quoted in French magazine Gala this week, saying, “Madonna knew the situation in Malawi, where he was born. It’s a country where there is no real legal framework for adoption. Personally, I prefer to stay on the right side of the law. I would never take a child away from a place where adoption is illegal.”
But adoption experts have pointed out Jolie – who has since claimed the magazine fabricated quotes – adopted five-year-old Maddox through an agency in 2002 that was later found guilty of fraud, reports PageSix.com.
Cambodian officials have since tightened up their adoption procedures, making it incredibly difficult for foreigners to gain custody of orphans in the same way as the movie star.
Tatiana Beams, an international adoption advocate from Seattle, says, “Angelina is not a hero in the adoption community. (She) does nothing, or at least very little, to keep international adoption open and legal for American families and children.”
David Ptasnik, the director of Americans Adopting Orphans, also expressed concern over Jolie’s method of adopting Maddox, but admits, “(At the time) it was the largest agency in the world. Angelina Jolie wouldn’t know that she was entering into a questionable adoption.”

A whore and a bitch did you see those comments she made about shilo she’s a blob with no personality and she less inclined to feel for her.

I used to love Angie, but no more after what she said about her own daughter. She has no right to call herself a feminist after she basically got sperminated just to please her man. Pathetic. And get off the friggin’ guilt trip with the adoptions already! Just like Oprah and Madonna, she thinks she’s some kind of saint because she surrounds herself with poor brown children.

she didn’t call her baby a blob, she agreed when the writer asked her that a baby that age is a blob. I think that Ange tragically mispoke in that interview, I don’t believe she loves 1 more than the other.
She said she ‘feels’ for the adopted kids more. Whatever that means…. But I don’t think it should be taken as she loves them more.

A! – what I was saying was that I think when she sad ‘feels’ she meant something other than love.
I agree that she really needs to clarify what she meant. And there’s no doubt in my mind she issues or problems, but I’m certainly not going to make assumptions on her half-assed comments and start calling her a crazy/horrible/uncaring/out of touch mother before I truly understand what she meant. … and maybe she’ll never clarify so I never will understand.

It seems like adopting a child for her is more of a gimmick. Something to keep her in the press!
