Wow... Brad Pitt to adopt Angelina's kids

Angelina has come light years from her "Billy Bob" days. She is truly a wonderful, giving person. It says a lot about Brad that he sees more in her than Jennifer Aniston. Not that there is anything "wrong" with Jennifer. I have seen her in interviews and she seem like a nice person but, one thing is clear, with Jennifer "all arrows point to her". She is focused on her career and seems a bit narcisistic, which is typical of the Hollywood elite. Angelina seems to use her career as a means for a "larger purpose, rather than the other way around.
 
I guess I'm in the minority here but he is going a little too far too soon don't you think? It's great he wants to be involved in their lives but he hasn't even married their mom yet!

I agree. They should get married first and wait a while before the adoption. Hollywood marriages don't seem to last very long, and adoption is forever, KWIM?
 
You would think she would marry him first before she had him adopt her kids. :confused3
 
How bizarre!!!! He still is married to Jenifer Anniston!!! Weirdos.

I know that his split from Jenifer was over the fact he wanted a family but geesh. Get too know Jolie first.

BTW...Just watched the movie last night. It was so-so, but the chemistry between them was pretty hot.
 
From what I have read about AJ, if she didn't think they would be getting married to Brad, she wouldn't allow him to adopt her kids. She is a very protective Mom and always said her first priority was them. I like Brad and Angelina together. I was never a big fan of Jennifer...even after the split, she did all the talking to the media, Brad hasn't done any (that I have seen)...so again it's "let's keep the focus on me" attitude that comes across with Jennifer. JMO.

Edited to add; I thought the marriage was officially over and they were divorced already. :confused3

If Angelina was on screen with a wet rag, the chemistry between her and the rag would be hot. That woman just exudes "sex"! Although in Jennifer Anistin's defense, have you seen the latest cover of GQ? :earseek: She looks like she recovering pretty well from the divorce, I thank you!

Just heard on the news that its in the works.
 
Maybe since they both know how short lived hollywood marriages can be, they want to make this more about the kids.. kind of, it doesn't matter if they are married or not, he loves the kids enough to be their father. You don't have to want to get married in order to want to be a parent to children. Many people are perfectly content parenting a child without being married. By adopting those children, he is protecting them. He is giving them another parent in the event that something happens to their mother. He is giving them some sort of financial stability in the event that the mother has no money (unrealistic, but you know what I mean). He is giving them a sense of protection that they do not have right now without a legal father.
 
They adopted Maddox when they were married, so I'm surprised that Billy Bob wasn't already his adoptive dad. I remember that soon after the divorce, he and Maddox were spending time together, so I guess he either gave up his parental rights, or maybe never signed on to the whole idea in the first place?

I agree..........I highly doubt that as much as she loves those kids that she would even allow the adoption if she did not feel that her and Brad had a future, it also says alot for him to even want to adopt them, after all marriages are easily disolved not so with adoptions. I never did care all that much about Jennifer, like others have said it seems her career is the number one priority......but with Angelina it seems she works to help her causes, and she really supports her causes (very dedicated to them and her children) I know if I had been married to Brad I would have done anything to keep him happy!
From what I have read Brad and Jennifers divorce was final in Oct? And from all we know Brad and Angelina may already be married........if not I see it coming soon.
 
I'm guessing Billy Bob gave up his rights. I don't think he was ever really into the whole adoption thing to begin with.

I do like Angelina, I used to think she was a freak, but she's definitely changed. I'm not a fan of Brad's, but she seems to be changing him for the better, so I guess I could get used to him. I do think it's strange that he's adopting her kids so soon (they've only been together around a year) and they're not even married.

I saw the movie last night too and it was kind of strange.
 
From what I understand Billy Bob didn't like any distractions for Angelina. He wanted her undivided attention.
She wanted children. I've seen interviews with her, and I think she's an interesting young lady. She loves those kids beyond all else. I think Brad is going to be a part of her life.

First thing that popped in my head too. Sorry. I think it is a publicity stunt. Especially since a lot of people think Jolie broke up their marriage. Some people aren't pleased about it all. At least that is what I have heard. Me, personally I don't care never met any of the people involved, never will.

I disagree. I believe that they will get married and Brad will be the father to her children. I have a feeling that one of the reasons for the divorce was Jennifer's focus on her career. Jolie and Pitt do not need anymore publicity. Tom Cruise, on the other hand could use some favorable publicity. Jennifer needed the publicity, her movie, Derailed was awful.
 
wow....I sort of am shocked. But like another poster menitoned, if Angelina wasn't going to get married to Brad...I doubt she would be allowing this. You can say whatever you want about her, but she genuinely seems like a wonderful mother to those kids...and I think she has their best interest at heart...I don't think she would take him adopting them lightly.
but than again...so many people "blame" her for the jen and Brad break up....who knows? I don't know what I think really....and I guess my little ole opinion doesn't really matter anyway, but it is fun to talk about!!!!

It is a little hard for to get over that they probably/maybe started their relationship or whatever when he was already married....but who knows. I wonder how Jen feels...I think in her Vanity Fair issue, the only time she broke down and cried was when they mentioned something to her about Brad and Angelina having a baby together?

I remember seeing Angelina in the movie "Gia" years ago...her first break before hitting it big and I thought she was beautiful. I sort of lost respect for her during the whole "kissing her brother, marrying Billy Bob and wearing his blood around her neck" phase....but she seems to have grown up and matured since those days......thank god!!!!!

does anyone know if she is still estranged from her father, Jon Voight? If nothing else, Brad picks the women that cut family off....wasnt Jen estranged from her mother for like 10 years, too?????
