Angelina Jolie's adoption is "legal and irrevocable" · 2007-11-16 15:42
Angelina Jolie's adoption of a baby from Ethiopia was "legal" according to the agency that approved it in 2005.
Recent news reports said a woman who claimed to be the birth mother of Zahara, two, wanted the child back.
But Dr Tsegaye Berhe, head of the Wide Horizons for Children agency, told the Reuters news agency it was "media hype by unethical journalists".
At the time of the adoption, Zahara's grandmother sent a letter to the court which said child's mother was dead.
"The court in Addis Ababa approved the adoption after studying the document her grandmother wrote," said Dr Berhe.
Dr Berhe said the adoption was "legal and irrevocable", BBC reports.
