Angelina’s recent tour of an orphanage in the Middle East made some of her fans think she planned to adopt, but the Enquirer has learned the 34-year old actress supports seven kids there who have never experienced a home of their own.“Angelina considers the orphans as her own family,” says a worker at the SOS Children’s Village in Amman, Jordan. “She stays in touch with them and really cares about how they’re doing. She and Brad both feel this is a way they can help many more children.”
The glamorous couple already have six mouths to feed; Maddox, 8, who came from Cambodia, Six-year old Pax who is from Vietnam, Zahara, aged 4, born in Ethiopia, and their own biological offspring, Shiloh, age 3, and Knox and Vivienne, who are both 16-months.
But apparently that’s not enough – Angelina then became guardian to the three girls and four boys in 2003, and has been quietly supporting their food, clothing and educational needs for six years – all in secret. And the visit soon proved her motive is purely those kids;
“Angelina just wanted to play with the children and have fun,” SOS worker, Aysha Shahin told the press. “She spent time with the family and spoke to their foster mother, Fatima. Some of our teenagers came back from University to see her and she was giving them advice about life and school.”
Ms. Jolie was introduced to the home by Queen Noor Al Hussein of Jordan, who is an Ambassador for the charity that runs the whole place. And it seems like a long-term connection.
“Angelina will definitely support us by visiting again, possibly even sponsoring a house which will pay the children’s expenses,” says Aysha. “She’s a sweetheart, and one of our greatest supporters.”
