This famous couple are parents to six kids, three were adopted, and three are their biological children. The couple divorced but still prioritize their kids in their separate lives. The Hollywood pair adopted one of their babies from Ethiopia.
The baby, a girl, was adopted from an orphanage. Her adoptive mother was informed that the girl was an orphan when she adopted her, but it later turned out that her biological mother was alive.
The biological mother reached out to her adoptive mother via the media when the girl was 12 years old in 2017. She revealed that she got pregnant after she was sexually assaulted. The poverty-stricken biological mother became ill after she gave birth and couldn’t keep the girl, so she gave her up for adoption.The girl was born on January 8, 2005, and her adoptive mom, Angelina Jolie, adopted her in July 2005. Angelina, who is an actress, said she, her now ex-husband, Brad Pitt, and their kids were happy to have another addition to the family. The actress officially signed papers of adoption and raised her newly adopted baby daughter as her own.
Even the girl’s biological mother, Mentewab Dawit Lebiso, admitted that the actress gave her daughter everything she could wish for. However, she noted that she still missed her baby as much as she knew she was being taken care of by a good family. Mentewab’s main wish was that she could have regular contact with her daughter.
She pleaded with the actress to let her speak to her daughter, be part of her special days such as her birthdays, and for the girl to know her family in Ethiopia. Mentewab hoped that before she dies, she could get a chance to see the girl she gave up as an infant, and if that weren’t possible, then to just hear her voice would be enough.The girl’s biological mom emphasized that she doesn’t want to take her back. It is unknown whether she got her wish or not, as Mentewab hasn’t spoken out again since 2017. Angelina, who was told the girl was orphaned by AIDS when she adopted her, also didn’t comment on the matter.
When Angelina developed her fashion brand, Atelier Jolie, her daughter was highly involved in the process.
The actress was happy that she got to adopt her daughter, especially from a country where six million kids do not go to school each year. She knew that if her daughter stayed in Ethiopia, the orphanage she was in wouldn’t have had any funds to send her to school…CONTINUE READING
