Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are one of the best – known couples loved by tons of fans. The couple was always known as the modern-day power couple in Hollywood – well, before they divorced in September 2016. The powerful couple had been involved for over a decade, and the media had always followed their families in those years. Jolie and Pitt adopted a total of six lovely children. By 2006, they had their first biological daughter, Shiloh Jolie-Pitt.
Brangelina
Angelina Jolie used to be a single mother and had her first child in March 2002 while coping with the divorce she had with her ex-husband Billy Bob Thornton. She adopted her first son, Maddox Chivan, who was an orphan from Cambodia and a six-month-old baby at that time. Three years later, she adopted another child from Ethiopia and named her Zahara Marley.
Building The Family
Even when he was adopted by Angelina before she had a relationship with Brad, Maddox Chivan was still regarded as Jolie and Pitt’s first kid since Brad willingly accepted him and adopted him.
The next thing the fans knew was their second child, Zahara Marley’s adoption by the couple. The world supported the couple, and they received the biggest news of their lives later in 2005- Jolie and Pitt were expecting.
Escaping the Media
As we already know, celebrities are always experiencing the difficulty of being followed by the media – the problem was the same for the couple.
Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt always wanted a private life and off-camera, but the paparazzi never allowed that to happen. Well, that’s one of the very few negative things about being a renowned person-every action a celebrity would perform is followed by cameras.
To Africa
They traveled to a South African country, Namibia because they wanted the birth of their first biological child private.
Even though Jolie and Pitt’s baby wanted to be seen in the media and the fans, the paparazzi had difficulty following the couple. Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt had their first biological daughter, Shiloh Nouvel Jolie-Pitt, born on 27 May 2006.
Expanding
The couple was completely happy with all the things they had at the time after Shiloh’s birth–their careers, their relationships, and a large family.
They already had three wonderful children but decided to have more. So they took their fourth child, Pax Thien. Originally, he was born in Vietnam. The couple officially took Pax Thien into the family in mid – March 2007.
Adoption Difficulties
With four children, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt made sure that each child had the same love and affection. They had absolutely no favorites.
In this case, the couple had demonstrated their parenting skills that were actually great. They have become a stronger family with all the processes and problems they have encountered.
Adopting In Ethiopia
Prior to Shiloh’s life in 2005, Brad Pitt chose to adopt the adopted children of Angelina Jolie, Maddox Chivan, and Zahara Marley.
In an interview, the couple shared their struggles in the adoption process. The policies and procedures for adoption were very strict and were not excluded from the stern process because they were famous celebrities.
