Angelina and her son Maddox are expected to arrive in Vietnam late Wednesday to adopt a 3 year old boy. She is scheduled to attend an adoption ceremony with Vietnamese officials in Ho Chi Minh City Thursday morning. Once she has the child, she will meet with U.S. consular officials, who will review the adoption before a passport will be issued for the boy. She could bring the boy home as early as this weekend.

The little boy has been living at the Tam Binh orphanage since he was abandoned at a hospital as an infant. After he arrived at the orphanage, staff were unsuccessful in trying to locate the boy’s parents. They say that he is healthy, friendly, and a little bit shy. He also loves to play soccer.

Angelina filed the adoption papers as a single parent, because she and Brad are not married.
