Despite being an vocal proponent of adoption and specifically adopting from impoverished nations, Angelina Jolie is now facing heat from adoption advocates. Jolie criticized the way Madonna adopted a baby boy from Africa, suggesting she didn’t go through the proper channels, but didn’t mention that she used a agency recently found guilty of fraud when adopting her son Maddox from Cambodia. Page Six says:
"Angelina is not a hero in the adoption community," (a source said) "she does nothing, or at least very little, to keep international adoption open and legal for American families and children." When Jolie adopted Maddox in 2002, she used Seattle International Adoptions, run by Lauryn Galindo – who was found guilty two years later of visa fraud and money laundering related to Cambodian adoptions … after Jolie's adoption scandal, Cambodia closed its doors, and many families who were waiting to acquire children were left empty-handed.
Everyones real concern of course is how this will effect sex tours and our sexual predators in Cambodia. I'll let you know what they say at the meeting. I got an IM earlier from Big14U and he said this was total bullshit, then he sent the frowny face, so its obviously pretty bad. Stay tuned to Tyler for all the breaking news!
