Brangelina: New Son on the Way!
Wednesday March 7, 2007


Now that adoption officials have confirmed that Angelina Jolie, 31, is adopting a 4-year-old son from Vietnam, the question remains: When will the world get to meet the newest Jolie-Pitt?

The latest addition to Brad Pitt and Angelina's posse may be moving into the couple's $3.5 million New Orleans mansion sooner than you think.

The adoption procedure takes no more than four months, says Nguyen Cong Khanh, the deputy head of the country's International Adoption Department.

And the A-list actress won't be given any preferential treatment.

"[Jolie] will have to follow procedure like any other American," Vu Duc Long, head of the Ministry of Justice for Vietnam, tells Us.

Still, it's not out of the ordinary to speed up the adoption process when celebs are involved, à la Madonna's scandal with baby David Banda in October.

And there may be an added incentive to rush things along.

"She promised to give $2 million to the Tam Binh orphanage on the very day she receives the child," a Vietnamese insider tells Us. Of note: The actual adoption fee is only about $125. (Jolie's rep didn't respond to a request for comment; Pitt's rep had no comment.)

How will Maddox react to his new brother? What do Pitt's parents really think of their son's quickly expanding family? How is Jen coping with the adoption announcement?
