We’re on day five of PaxWatch here on the Internets, and we’ve got yet another picture of little Paxy being held by his mom. The two are in Hanoi, the capital of Vietnam, where they will hopefully obtain Pax’s visa at the U.S. Embassy on Tuesday. Reports indicate that three-year-old Pax is having some trouble adjusting. He was not told that he was being adopted until the actual day that Angie and Madd came to get him — as Celebitchy points out, this is probably standard procedure at an orphanage, so that the kids don’t get their hopes up if the ‘rents flake last-minute — so he’s in an understandable state of shock right now, and doing an awful lot of crying.
Angelina has been very attentive to her new kiddo. According to the AP’s translation of a Vietnamese newspaper, Angie said that she “will stay at home to help Pax adjust to his new life,” and that “photographs and press coverage will make him upset. I’m very worried about that. I would like to say I’m sorry for bringing this into Pax’s life.” When I first read that quote a couple days ago I didn’t run it, because it didn’t sound at all like something Angelina would say. But now I understand — Angie said it in English, the Vietnamese paper translated it into Vietnamese, and then the AP translated it back into English. She probably said something more along the lines of “I wish you assholes would stop scaring this poor innocent boy that I’m trying to bring into my family,” but, you know, nicer. It got trampled in the translation.
Once the visa process is completed, Angie, Madd and Pax will return to New Orleans to meet up with the rest of the Jolie-Pitt gang.
