Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt's adoption of Vietnamese-born, three-year-old Pax Thien may hit a snag if the drug-addicted biological mother contests the adoption papers.
Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt's adoption of Vietnamese-born, 3-year-old Pax Thien may be halted by boy's biological mother who contests the adoption papers signed by his grandparents.
29-year-old Pham Thu Dung, a heroin addict who gave up Pax when he was only two days old, may want more money from Angelina Jolie - and she could even demand that the couple returns her child, News of the World report.
Returns where? To the orphanage? There's no answer yet.
Dung's 55-year-old father Chien said that the woman became pregnant with Pax during an affair with a married man at a garment factory she worked in Ho Chi Minh City, reports www.hollywood.tv.
"Our daughter is a heroin addict and she is a bag of trouble. We have already lost too much money because of her drug habit. She always wants money," said Dung's father, a former oil tanker skipper who says his family can only afford to eat once a day with five children to support.
None of the family has contacted Pax until Angelina Jolie spotted him three years later on a visit to the orphanage, the man said. "I never visited my grandson," Chien's wife Nhan confirmed.
When she finds out that a rich movie star has adopted her baby, she will go after Jolie for money and make trouble for her. She may even try to take the child back," he warned.
Jolie and Pitt have a biological child, Shiloh, and two other adopted children - Maddox and Zahara.
