When Angelina Jolie said that she and her husband, Brad Pitt, want to become the parents of a dozen children someday, she wasn’t kidding. The beautiful actress told "Today’s" show host Matt Lauer Thursday morning that she and her hubby decided to adopt another child.
My opinion is that the example given by the celebrity couple is more than welcomed. If a couple wants to have lots of babies it should make two ore three and adopt the rest. There are many lonely children out there that need the warmth of a family.
However, according to therapists, Jolie doesn’t adopt children because she wants to set an example. The 33-year-old "Changeling" star has an abandonment issue stemming from her childhood and through these adoptions she may be trying to fill the lack of completion in her life, psychologist Leslie Seppinni told the Daily News.
Seppinni, a marriage and family therapist, explained that what Angelina Jolie is doing turned from good will (the first adoption) to social irresponsibility. A person as busy as she is can not be there for her children when they need her and children need to have one-on-one time with a parent.
"How in the world can you continue to do movies and promote them while at the same time parenting each child?" asks Seppinni.
Is it then better to leave an orphan child alone? Less attention is far better than no attention at all. Ask any orphan.
However, the Jolie-Pitt clan won’t expand any time soon, the actress told Laurel during a “Today” interview. Jolie said that they will probably start looking for another baby to adopt but not until “any new children are six months old."
For the moment, the main point of focus, better said points of focus, are twins Vivienne and Knox, who were born three-and-a-half months ago in France.
