The birth mother os Pax Thien, a 3,5-year-old boy Vietnamese boy adopted by Hollywood celebrity Angelina Jolie, has no rights to her son, Playfuls quoted Vietnam’s top adoption official.
“That’s impossible. She has no right to claim him,” said Vu Duc Long, director of Vietnam’s International Adoption Department.
The mother of the boy is as a 29-year-old heroin addict. The grandparents of Pax said they feared their daughter might someday launch a custody battle with Jolie and her partner, Hollywood actor Brad Pitt.
“Our daughter is a heroin addict and she is a bag of trouble,” the grandfather, identified as Chien, 55, told.
“Police launched investigations to find the mother twice. The police never found the mother nor received any word from her at all,” Long said. “Even if she now claimed the boy, we would never give him back to an addicted woman.”
The grandparents, who never visited the boy in Tam Binh Orphanage after he was placed there at one month old, were tracked down and signed papers asking that he be put up for adoption, Long said.
