Angelina Jolie and her newly adopted
son Pax
Angelina Jolie's new adopted child Pax Thien Jolie was the son of a drug
addict who may demand he returns to Vietnam, it has been reported.
Heroin-addict Pham Thu Dung reportedly abandoned her son when he was just
two days old, and fears are growing she may demand he returns to Vietnam.
Angelina who adopted Pax last week - is said to be worried Dung, 29, could
hound her for money or threaten to contest the adoption because the
adoption papers were only signed by the tot's grandparents.
Pax's granddad Chien told Britain's News of the World newspaper: "Our
daughter is a heroin addict and her life has been ruled by drugs. When she
finds out a rich movie star has adopted her baby, she will go after her
for money and make trouble. She may even try to take the child back."
Chien revealed Dung became pregnant following an affair with a married man
and gave birth to a dangerously underweight son. Doctors even feared the
baby would be born a heroin addict.
New Name
April 2007
Angelina Jolie has started proceedings to add her partner Brad Pitt's
last name to that of her recently adopted son, Pax Thien Jolie.
She filed court papers in Los Angeles County Superior Court to change the
three-year-old boy's name to Pax Thien Jolie-Pitt.
According to US Weekly, the petition requests the name change "in order
that her child's last name will incorporate and be combined with the last
name of her partner and be the same as that of her other children."
A hearing on the name change will be held on 31 May in Santa Monica.
