I'm not knocking it, I'm just trying to understand it. It's almost like it's her addiction or something.

I don't knock it either, but I do think it would be just as "giving" if she tried to adopt children here in the U.S.
There are plenty of children here in the U.S. who have a foreign ancestry that are in desparate need of good homes. Since she is a celebrity, I would imagine the adoption process is much easier than it would be for someone who isn't a celebrity. Just look at Rosie O'Donnel and Sharon Stone. Adopting kids left and right and yet, people who aren't as wealty have to wait and wait to adopt.

No, I don't think it is odd. A child is a child no matter what country you adopt them from weather it is foreign or America. I think it is an admirable trait to take care of a child from another world that is different from your own. Besides, the adoption process in America is way to long and have to much red tape even for celebs. Most people adopt from other countries because it is easier and quicker. At least she is doing something to contribute to humanity.

No, I think she is building her family and take care of things with her kids. Some said why she does not adopt kids from the US?
I think that the reason is that she goes to the worst places in the world, kind of places when government laws on adoption are very "smooth". The kids that she adopted are completely abandoned by their parents, so in the future there won't be any problems with money hungry mommy or daddy, who suddenly "change their hearts".
I am sure it is not fake "celebrity travel" because she saw enough in her life to give love to the little ones that need it.

Yes i find it strange too. Brad will take a hike soon i do not thing he signed up for this. What i would like to know is do the stars think that the children here in the states are not deserving of a home too?

She can afford it...Its free publicity..But why she don't adopt in U.S.A I do not understand..Kind of like government giving money to help everyone in other countries but not the people in our own back yard. We have lots of babies need families here. Probably wouldn't get as much free publicity...

I think it's her way of 'giving back' to the world. I am in now way a fan of Jolie's, but I do think she seems to really love the children she adopts ( who knows what really goes on behind closed doors and what we are fed by her publicity agents).

Have you ever heard of Josephine Baker? She was a black American woman, very famous in France, who adopted plenty of children. She had a house in France where she raised them.
Some people, when they think they have been successful in life, feel that they need to share their wealth with other people, and make them happy.
I suppose she loves children, and would like to help them. I think she really has a social conscience. I mean, she does use her name to help charities and organisations, and spends time with them. It's not fake.

I do find it to be somewhat odd....and now it's taken a turn from odd to annoying. If she keeps this up, she will be a surrogate mother to half the world.

She is wealthy, so I think the term would be eccentric (sp?)
Whatever you want to call it, I'm glas someone is interested in taking care of children.
