The boy, almost 3 1/2 years old was renamed Pax Thien Jolie, a combination for the Latin word for peace and the Vietnamese word for heaven. Sang, who was abandoned in a local hospital when he was only a month old had to be soothed by orphanage staff because to him, Angelina and Maddox were strangers.In a small ceremony that announced the decision of the chairman of the city’s people’s committee, Jolie agree to adopt the child. In Ho Chi Minh City, the adoption was later confirmed when Jolie signed official documents at the city’s justice department. The adoption will be final one U.S embassy official approve the paperwork for Sang to travel to the U.S.

Senior officials have said that Jolie’s adoption process was sped up, in part due to her celebrity status. After having visited Viet Nam in November, she filed papers in early March. Normally the adoption process takes an average of six months.

Pax Thien joins Jolie’s other 2 adopted children, Maddox and Zahara and her natural daughter, with Brad Pitt, Shiloh. Jolie was required to adopt Pax as a single person because Vietnamese laws prevent an unmarried couple from adopting. It seems likely that Pitt will adopt Pax in the U.S. as he previously did with Maddox and Zahara.
