Will Angie Lose Zahara?
The birth family of Angelina Jolie’s daughter wants her to bring Zahara home to Ethiopia
Angelina Jolie shares a special bond with her daughter Zahara, whom she adopted more than two years ago from Ethiopia. Malnourished and suffering from rickets, Zahara was days away from death when Angelina found her, bonded with her and nursed her back to health. Today, she cherishes time alone with her happy toddler, 2, and “chooses special stories” to read to her when they’re together, a pal says. But now a dark cloud of unhappiness hangs over their relationship. And Angelina’s worst nightmare may come true.
On June 20, 2006, Angelina proudly told CNN’s Anderson Cooper about the daughter she named Zahara. “She’s from Ethiopia. She’s an AIDS orphan,” Angelina said. But Zahara’s adoption papers, which an In Touch representative was shown on November 12, clearly states that Zahara has a grandmother and extended family alive in Africa— and the grandmother introduced In Touch to her daughter, who claims to be Zahara’s mother.
In 2005, the U.K.’s Sun also talked to the woman, who claimed to be Zahara’s birth mother. In the town of Awassa, 140 miles south of the Ethiopian capital of Addis Ababa, In Touch spoke with that woman again. She’s very much alive, she doesn’t have AIDS — and she’d love to be with the child who was taken away. “I want my daughter to come home to see where she is from,” the woman who says she’s Zahara’s mother, Mentewab Dawit Lebiso, 24, tells In Touch. “Her grandmother and I both tried very hard to raise her, and I want her to come home to regain her identity.”
Was Angelina lied to?
While her birth family may not be able to afford to challenge Zahara’s adoption, they do claim they were misled. They say a local official, who took Zahara to the adoption agency, told the family they would get to see the baby again and maintain contact with her. Most people hoping to adopt who are working with the U.S.- based agency Wide Horizons for Children (which Angelina used to adopt Zahara) visit the child’s village and surviving family members. But Angelina, 32, could not do so when she adopted Zahara more than two years ago. “There were a lot of journalists following her,” the agency’s Ethiopian head, Dr. Tsegaye Berhe, tells In Touch. “She was not able to travel as much as she would have liked or as we would have liked her to do.”
Still, after speaking to the agency, family members hoped Angelina and her partner, Brad Pitt, 43, would bring Zahara back for a visit. But that has not happened. “After they took the baby, they didn’t keep in contact. They didn’t tell us anything about her,” Zahara’s aunt, Zinash Haile Yenero, 20, tells In Touch. “My mother was very sad. At one point she was even thinking of trying to find a way to bring her grandchild back, but she has no money, so she can’t.”
Angelina, an insider says, has heard the published tales of Zahara’s African family, but feels on a deeper level that Zahara is part of her family. “She believes that Zahara is an orphan and the woman who claims to be her mom is mistaken,” says a friend. Government papers said Zahara was an AIDS orphan, says the pal, and “Angie had no reason to believe otherwise. Zahara was days away from death and Angelina saved that child. As far as she is concerned, that bonded her to that little girl forever.”
Because of her own stormy relationship with her father, Jon Voight, Angelina has strong feelings about parenthood. “She feels that while a person may have a biological parent who is still alive, that parent has to earn the right to be with their child,” the pal explains.
Zahara’s real story
Dr. Tsegaye says that Angelina has no obligation to keep in touch with Zahara’s blood family. “It’s up to the adoptive parents,” he says. “We cannot force them.” But Zahara’s grandmother, Almaz Elfneh, 45, insists that the circumstances behind their decision to put the baby in an orphanage must be told to Zahara and to her adoptive parents. “I miss my grandchild a lot,” she adds. According to Mentewab, Zahara was conceived when she was raped by a stranger who broke into her home. After the baby — whom she named Yemasrech, which means Good News — was born on January 7, 2005, she moved in with her mother and got a job as a laborer. But Mentewab became overwhelmed. “I thought the baby was going to die because there was no food, so I ran away,” she confesses.
Unable to care for her alone, Almaz says she brought the child to a local authority, explaining that her daughter had run away. Another man, who worked on behalf of WHFC, but was not an official employee, took the baby away and told the agency that her mother had died. “What he has done is equal to murder,” charges Mentewab. “He took my daughter away and he just disappeared with her. He said I was dead, but I heard from my mother that she never said that.” But Dr. Tsegaye disputes this account.
Despite their sad story, Angelina feels that she must put Zahara’s needs first, says an insider. “She believes that you protect your child and put them first,” says the pal. Another friend says that Angie thinks contact with Zahara’s birth family at such a young age would be too confusing. Others disagree. Adoption specialist Jerri Jenista says, “Most parents want their children to have some contact with where they came from.”
The choice, however, remains Angie’s until Zahara has grown and can choose for herself. Much as they’d love to see her, Mentewab and her family know they cannot force Angelina to bring Zahara home. They realize they could never give the child the happy, privileged life she shares with her new parents. Maybe one day, Zahara will enjoy the best of both worlds.
Angelina thought she had no mother
Angelina, who proudly introduced Zahara to her co-stars on the set of The Good Shepherd in August 2005, believes Zahara’s mother died.
They will adopt again
Despite the heartache involved with international adoptions, Angelina and Brad plan to have more children together, say friends, with at least one through adoption.
Could her birth mother get Zahara back?
Mentewab never signed the papers giving up her daughter, which could give her a case for getting Zahara back — if she had the money to pursue it. “If some family member comes in and leaves the child at an orphanage and signs her over, and then the mother wants her back, you can make the argument that the person didn’t truly understand that their child is gone forever,” says adoption specialist Jerri Jenista.
Mentewab struggled to feed her family. “Sometimes all I had was a piece of bread all day,” she tells In Touch.
Zahara’s mother Mentewab sells onions at the market. Her grandmother Almaz says they couldn’t afford to keep Zahara
“I would tell other families not to give up their children,” says Zahara’s aunt Frehiwot, 18, with another aunt, Zinash Haile Yenero. “I would tell them what happened to us.”
Two neighbors, including Asegadech Asefaw, concurred that Mentewab had run away — not died.
Another neighbor, Bekelech Haile, accompanied Almaz to the government offices.
But the agency says Angelina adopted legally
Wide Horizons for Children claims it told Angelina that Zahara’s mother was dead because the documents that her real grandmother, Almaz Elfneh, and three witnesses signed said so. “We have to trust the documents we received from the local government,” says Dr. Tsegaye Berhe, who tells In Touch that Almaz is indeed the baby’s grandmother. “She’s signed a document saying, ‘My daughter had died and she left the child behind.’”
Madonna’s son also isn’t an orphan
Madonna has had trouble with a foreign adoption, too. Yohane Banda (right), the father of her son David, protested that he didn’t know he was giving up his son forever. Angelina also appeared critical of Madonna for taking a child from Malawi. “It’s a country where there is no real legal framework for adoption,” she told a French magazine. “Personally, I prefer to stay on the right side of the law.” But later, Angelina insisted she favored Madonna’s adoption. “I said many positive things that were omitted,” she said. “I encourage everyone to be supportive so that every child can adjust nicely to their new home.”
Should celebrities help children stay with their families?
The plight of Africans affected by AIDS and living in poverty has led other stars to lend financial support to communities without removing children from their homes and villages. For instance, in 2005, the Charlize Theron Africa Outreach Project was created by the Oscar-winning actress to fund mobile health clinics to serve the poorest and most rural areas of South Africa. Save the Children’s Tonya Nyagiro tells In Touch, “It’s more acceptable for most of these kids to remain in their villages among family and friends who do their best to care for and support them.”
Re: Cathy – paternity tests are to decide whether or not it's the biological father….. you want maternity.
Re: Euro – Before you go lashing out on an entire group of people, you should ask yourself why you care or furthermore, why you take the time out of your life to bash all Americans on a website that evidently appeals to you, despite your opinion that all Americans are just stupid and ignorant. While I do agree with your opinion that there is a lot of ignorance out there, I think you've just proven to all of us that it extends beyond American borders. I do agree with you that anyone can be beautiful, but how can you defend that and then say that most ugly people are either white or asian? Don't preach your opinions as facts and then bash an entire group of people. Hey, isn't that what you were trying to defend in the first place? Hmm, interesting…I guess you lost sight of that.
Give that ugly, retarded-looking niglette back to it's mom you stupid bitch.
most of these people can't read or write and will sign anything because they trust those asking them to sign. i think Z. should stay with Angie but she should definetly meet her birth family someday.
Okkk, what is in the best interest of the baby here,
Be raised by a mother who sells onions, and cannot afford to feed her.
OR
Be raised by 2 of the most famous people in the world who can give her anything she wants and needs?
i think that if you have abond with the child and the paperwork is legal then she should keep the baby. the mother left the baby and waited how long to get her baby back. come on she just wants her 15 minutes in thelime light.
if everyone is so pissed off she sells onions for a living here's an idea a lot of those people do that, and they raise their kids, empathis on THEIR. angelina should give the mom back her baby and perhaps help the village or something, now that would be heroic
disguisted i totally agree with you… i dont understand why the colour has to be involved in this sitaution you people dont have to use the "N" word…. assholes
"I thought the baby was going to die because there was no food, so I ran away," she confesses. Unable to care for her alone, Almaz says she brought the child to a local authority, explaining that her daughter had run away.
And there you have it, folks. The woman comes back after she finds out that her daughter is rich and famous. Fuck that shit. Zahara is in better hands!
Re: Willie D. – you sound so ignorant….you must have no life nor any friends let alone any respect. if i was ur mother i wouldve said we were dead to get rid of you! you are pathetic to post a comment as mean and hurtful as you did. And dont think im an "angry black person"… as you worded,im white and I still dont like what you wrote. your a horrible person that comes to this webwsite to put people down because you were probaly the biggest loser/outcast in school. People are'nt the way you describe them…it's probaly just that nobody liked you! Deal with,but dont make racist remark to up you self esteem-go to therapy,please!
Zahara needs to be with Angelina! Her birth mother is unfit! She couldnt take care of her child so she ran away and abandoned her! Even now shes a broke ass bitch and cant afford to take care of the kid. Shes just being selfish! The child is better off where she is! Not with some broke hoe who cant afford a piece of bread just because she "misses her child"..SO WHAT?! Zahara doesnt miss YOU! Leave her with her mother Angie, shes happy there. When she gets older she can go back to her roots. But dont be selfish just because youre hatin that your daughter is rich and in magazines and all of a sudden you want her back. You abandoned her! Finders keepers bitch!
She's allowed to change her mind, a lot of birthmothers do, it's her right to have her baby back, all those celebs are stealing others babies, when they should be kept with their blood families.
Re: RYAN – too many people like you in this country!
Regardless of whose baby it is - those parents should back down. If you love your kid wouldn't you want her to have an amazing life? She was an ounce away from death in Ethiopia. And, it's not like it's an idealistic plae to live. She would be so much better off with Angelina and Brad.
How ignorant and racist are you willie D.
Angelina is a notorious lier, her story went something like this, she was an orphan on the brink of death with aids. When the real story was she never had aids, she has a family, and who knows how healthy or unhealthy she was, i don't believe a single thing that psychotic bitch says. Everthing she does is only truly for herself.
TO #7 AND #11
I AM SO SICK OF RETARDED, RACIST COMMENTS!!!!!!!!
GIVE ZAHARA BACK! GIVE ZAHARA BACK! GIVE ZAHARA BACK
GIVE ZAHARA BACK! GIVE ZAHARA BACK! GIVE ZAHARA BACK
give back the monkey, Angelina…. She does not belong in your family!!
Re: Euro – I wish you and everyone else would stop lumping all of us white Americans together as the true Satan! KNOCK IT OFF! It's just not true. We're as individual as the rest of the races and countries of the world.
Re: xoxo – I like this idea! Where can I sign up to help?
Meddlin white fools says – reply to this
Part 2 — cut off:
Madonna should have offered a paycheck for some service ( African liaison or something) to little Banda’s father so that he could have kept him — but should not taken his child.
————————————————————————————–
Madonna during the BBC interview said she offered money to the father but the father refused!
At least Madonna didn't adopt david in a week, this adoption will be finalized at the end of november or next april.
PLUS: madonna has already taken David in Malawi last april (with Lourdes)and they went to visit his old orphanage.
Re: i hate n*ggers – STOP THIS CRAP! IT IS WRONG! STRAIGHTEN UP OR GET OUT OF THE COMMENTS SECTION!
Re: Ashamed – I agree with being ashamed of the horrible comments these people are making, but few of them stepped up and announced that they were Americans. They could be from anywhere so don't assume they are all Americans!
Hey, does anyone else think that WilleD is a troll? He sure has stirred up this comments section and we haven't heard another word from him.
There are many places on Earth where people still willingly sell children for profit. Oftentimes they assume that "eventually" the child will put in enough time working slave labor to pay off their price and return home. Children are often sold multiple times in this fashion.
I suspect that these "parents" and "relatives" intended to gain a lot financially by giving up their children to wealthy celebrities - get lots of handouts. When that didn't happen, they then conclude that their only hope of getting money out of the situation is to develop a relationship with the child, who will then give lots of money to their "real family."
No one wants to talk about such things, but it goes on constantly - and we SHOULD talk about it; it's child slavery.
That slut jolie is not going to lose Zahara and there was no where in the article thats said they want her back for good. she simply said that she would want zahara to learn herrculture and thats understandable, look at Madonna she takes david back there to see his family and learn his culture theres nothing wrong with that
Zahara looks exactly like her Mother- Give that baby back- Screw Angelina
there is no way on god's green earth that they will ever get that baby back, maybe they might see her if she wants to do that but i doubt it. her being black don't mean that ange gotta giver her back. that would be completely ridicoulous if she even considered that. ain't nuttin wrong wit a spoiled black girl!
Whoa. I totally don't want to agree with the Ethiopians because I believe that this is Angie's child completely but the resemblance to Zahara and the Ethiopian woman is undeniable.
Re: RYAN – Re: ed – Re: Willie D. – Let me tell you white trash devils something. You Ryan, ED and willie are nothing and your racist spirts will burn in Hell!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! FUck yall Real niggas

Re: sailormoon –
David followed his old orphanage? But not his father or family???? Hypocrit cunt! Madonna's place in Hell is sealed…Satan awaits her. The chains of her sins are too heavy to come off. And all us not blinded by the fame see through her. As far as Angelina goes, she is trying to be good, and redeem herself. But this taking children from their people is just wrong…no one is taking the white children from their shitty parents…and there are plenty of shitty white people out here.

Re: Vivian – Honey, I hate to say this but that comment about minorities being smarter is a racist comment too…
I hope for Zahara's sake that she never reads these stories when she comes of age. It would be disturbing if she found out inappropriately that she was the prodcut of rape. Good going IN touch weekly and Perez for continuing to spread gossip and destroy innocent lives!
Re: Willie D. – PEOPLE LIKE YOU WILL BURN IN HELL.
Why, Perez, would you want to post this on your site? Why exacerbate gossip, racism, bigotry, and all this negativity here? We're all human, but this site has gotten to be the mecca for lowlifes and ignorance… I'm out!
Re: fjiodfjo –
WTF?? Zahara is not an ugly black child she's cute as hell!! So what if Angelina Jolie is a white woman? Quit being so fucking racist!! Angelina came in and saved that child and gave her a life, so what if she's not a fucking black woman!!
Re: Marty –
well thats about ignorant as hell. Seriously, what a dumb comment. No, not all children should be with their biological parents, especially if the biological parent is starving them to death, raping them, or beating them! Just because someone is the 'biological parent' does not give them entitlement
derek is a reatrd nd ya he did get arrested nd was taken from the school for questioning and he mite not be allowed back to that school so hes basically fucked, nd those were his friends he was just joking cause hes a moron lol
That's not Angelina's worst nightmare. Her worst nightmare is waking up and finding that her face has aged to look just like her father…
They must have found out what a whore she is, Karma sucks homewrecking slut
Re: Willie D. – americans are so stupid and why are they so rude and disrespectful
Wow, you sure do attract the racists, Perez. I fucking hate racists (and the Dutch).
Ms. Jolie has always appeared to be thorough in compliance with the regulations of each country to she adopts from, including Ethiopia. But she's being too paranoid in this case. It doesn't sound like the birth mom wants anything but a chance to see her daughter and know about her life. I don't think that's too much to ask under the circumstances. Open adoptions are very common in the USA, and you can't have too many people love a child…it's just not possible. It's how one demonstrates love that can be problematic. Ms. Jolie is allowing her fear to guide her. I think she does that a lot more than I ever suspected.
The whole situation is sad, but at the same time, how could a mother run away and abandon her child? Couldn't she do it again? She gave up raising that little girl as soon as she ran away. Choices like that have life-altering consequences.
I am always so surprised when I read some of the ugly comments made on this site. In my real life…I don't know anyone who hates the way that many of you people do. It's frightening to know that human beings, in this day and age, can still be so ignorant.
her mom is soo fuckin selfish i mean come on YOU LIVE IN A HUT! let your daughter grow up in a mansion and never know what it means to be huungry. geeeeeeeeee
Re: stephanie –
Please don'y generalize…I am American, and as I stated above…I do not know anyone who expresses these beliefs. I know for certain that I do not feel superior to anyone. I think some people are just hidung behind the anonimity of the computer and spouting hateful things that they don't really believe in an attempt to gain attention.
Lets face it. Celebs BUY these kids. They want good publicity and to feel like they are doing something nice so that their huge narcissistic egos can be maintained. There are too many poor families in need in the world, and its not fair that only a select few become the privaledged children of celebs who use them like little merit badges. Oprah had the right idea. If celebs really want to help then put money into building the economies and build schools in these countries. That would help more then just the one or two kids adopted. Doom and Gloom black, grey, and brown wearing Angie and her lap dog lemming boyfriend Brad make me want to barf.
kid stealealer celebrity enchancer users
return the children to the real parents who really love them. not fake parnts
return the children to the real parents who really love them. not fake parents who use them to increase their dollars at the box
Whatever the case may be (whether Zahara was really an orphan or her biological mother and grandmother are still alive want her back), it's really up to Angelina and Brad if they want to give her back, and my guess is that they're not going to. If in fact it is her real family who are speaking out, it needs to be explained that when they give a child up for adoption, they won't always have opportunities to see the child or hear how the child is doing while he/she is growing up. I don't think that's made clear when they sign off on the adoption papers. I think that they're promised that they will still be able to see and interact with the child even when they're in someone else's care, and that this "adoption" arrangement is only temporary, so that the child can have better life for a little while until the biological parents/family can scrap enough money together to look after the child. Who knows, this could really be Zahara's biological family claiming they want her back, and hope that maybe they'll get some money for it in order to take care of her and and she does look an awful lot like them…
gosh i hopes its true and that they get her back, i bet she would get more love and stable homelife there then in the hands of the the self absorbed mental head cases she has for parents now … gosh that would be total karma for that whore
What is the problem here people? The lil' girl is a black Ethiopian, and the skanky Mom is a White Ethiopian. Good thing lil' Zahara isn't breastfed, or she'd be skinnier than Calista Flockhart. I say stop worrying about what Angeskanklinea does with her little adopt-a-tots, and start worrying about whether Vanessa will pose naked — god I hope so!
This is about the dumbest thing I've ever read. Everyone knows "In Touch" is a load of crap anyway. On top of that Zahara does not look "JUST LIKE" that woman pictures. They are the same race, but if that her mom where are the big ass ears she has? You know that shit runs in the family lol. These people probably made the whole thing up so Brad and Angie can throw some money there way to keep quiet or something. Stupid people. Or someone took this picture, made the entire story up and sold it to In Touch who is desperate for stories. So desperate they may have made the whole thing up themselves. And this whole post is really racist. Sad really.
why would any of you want her to be sent back? didn't you read how she was starving? those people are looking for a pay off. its been 2 years and now they want her? she has a family now she isn't living in poverty and regardless of what people think…angelina is a good mom and brad frikin rocks!
What's the big deal? Buying negro babies in Africa is the latest fad. Madonna did it; Angelina did it. Caveat emptor.
She belongs with Angelina and Brad they are good parents. These people who are claiming to be her "family" can't take care of her. Brad and Angelina are providing a great life for her!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I think it is awful that after 2 years you decide to 'get your daughter back'. they put her up for adoption and she was about to die for gods sake. Angelina fucking saved her life. It makes me so mad. Angelinas loves that child!! they have no right to take her away from Angelina.
Re: Slanty –
While we all aspire to be American, Asian women do NOT try to LOOK white. There is an abundance of beauty and good features within the Asian population hence the standards for physical beauty for Asians are based on good looking Asian people and Asian features. Furthermore, trying to look white would be delusional, it would be like trying to turn an apple into an orange, it isn't even attainable. That is a ludicrous assumption conceived from the arrogance of white bigotry and it is a HUGE misconception. While, I think many white women are beautiful, there are PLENTY of good looking people from other races and there are ideal features from every race, for instance I would love to have juicy dumps and be able to shake it like a "sista".

As for nail salons and restaurants, it's mostly first generation immigrants that earn money this way. Many first generation immigrants make a living doing labor or restaurants, this is typical for immigrants of any background and there is NO SHAME IN IT. Asians have only been in this country a short time but already they have made notable contributions in many industries, such as the engineering, business and medical fields. Not bad, considering we are the smallest and newest minority group in this country and thus, we are faced with many societal barriers. For instance, there aren't many opportunities for Asians in the tv/movie industry since the demand to see Asians in the media is low, a direct result of our minority status.
I, for one, am so grateful to live in a diverse part of the country. I don't have to go far to get a good variety of authentic food from any part of the world. America would not be nearly as exciting a place (or as economically strong) if not for the diversity in this country.
How would you feel if the state of the world has changed such that some bigot more or less told you to go back to the country your ancestors were from? I'm sure it would piss you off as you most likely are not American Indian but you have just as much right to be here as any other legal citizen. Remember, "Do unto others…" Bye now.

Re: Canadian – FINALLY someone with common sense on this site!! For all you AFRICAN haters out there…if White Colonialists just left us the fuck alone…we'd be better off!! Yes, living in the bushes, eating worms, dancing around the fire..BUT BETTER OFF!!! Its from adopting white people's "so called" morals, that our continent is in the state that it is right now. There'd be no friggen AIDS orphans if we were just allowed to stick to our cultures and ostracize or even kill (YES…KILL) adulterers…there'd be no friggen need for us to be dependant on UN aid if we weren't made to believe that our way of living is animalistic, barbaric and ooh, the magic white-people word…UNCIVILIZED. So to all the white people out there talking shit about us AFRICANS….FUCK YOU!! Leave us be then, let us die, get the fuck out of Africa, (ooh I bet you dont know that all our resources are owned and controlled by whites??)..Just fuck off and shut up.
WILLIE .D. U FUCKING MORAN .IN THE AGE AND TIME U STILL A BLOODY RACIST GROW UP ……EVERY CHILD NEEDS LOVE BY THE WAY THATS WHY U PLAN TO HAVE THEM DONT JUS BREED LIKE PIGS .ANGIE U VE GIVEN THAT CHILD A SECOND CHANCE AT LIFE DONT GIVE HER BACK PLIZ
There's no way in hell Angelina is going to give her back.. who in their right mind would want to send a two year old back to a family who abandoned her in the first place? To a place where there is no food and is obviously dangerous if her 'mother' was raped. Notttt going to happen.
They do look a lot alike though.
Willie D your comment totally sucks you are a real asshole. I hope she keeps the Zahara she is doing a great job.
This child had malnutrition and rickets and was days away from death so what exactly is her 'mother' demanding she be returned to? Living in abject poverty with the risk of death and/or starvation hanging over her head every day? I take it they can now afford to feed and clothe Zahara, which is why they suddenly want her back? Because if they are still poor, why do they want her back? Or are they looking for a payday from Angelina and Brad?
Zahara's adoption received vast swathes of publicity when it was going through. Surely the 'mother' knew then that her baby was being adopted? The grandmother had to know so why didn't they kick up a stink then? To do it now looks suspicious.
I think Angelina should keep her daughter until she (Zahara) is old enough to make up her own mind about what she wants to do.
THATS HORRIBLE!!!
GOSH, ZAHARA HAS A BETTER LIFE NOW,
I BELIEVE SHE'D BE HAPPIER WHERE SHE IS, WITH ANGELINA AND BRAD.
INSTEAD OF STARVING TO DEATH WITH HER BIOLOGICAL FAMILY.
LEAVE HER BE!
I am going to pray for all of you ignorant racists.
Zahara belongs with her mum and family, it is not up to us to decide, it is only what is natural, the whole adoption was filled with fraud, she is not an orphan after all. Angelina needs to go see a shrink and deal with her own problems before stealing others babies.
OK the article said they would get to visit Z, so why not just have the family take a vacation there, they go everywhere else? I see nothing wrong with Z getting to know these people if they are her family, I thought "Angie" was all into that?
Re: If celebs really want to help then put money into building the economies and build schools in these countries. That would help more then just the one or two kids adopted. Doom and Gloom black, grey, and brown wearing Angie and her lap dog lemming boyfriend Brad make me want to barf.
Oh, so nice topic, and so reasonable comments. But i wanna say in the last 2 weeks I have been to several forum sites about video, and to my surprise, i find that many people don't know to make a useful of these nice videos, as the people discussing on interracialsingleonline.com
they don't know how to create new video, don't know how to attract more viewers… may be you can give some valuable suggestions…
A while back another magazine showed a lady claiming that she was the mom and was very happy for Zahara. Why isn't adopting an American kid good enough?
awww, this is such a horrible thing!
angie should keep Zahara!
"zahara looks just like the two african ladies claiming to be her family."
They all look alike anymore. Wouldn't it be inhumane to take this little girl away from the only family she knows, a clean, safe environment and put her with two women that couldn't care for her to begin with in a country known for being heavily afflicted with diseases and mass, overwhelming, serious poverty? Go ahead and be stupid and bash Angelina, but she's given this girl and two other orphans a loving home. I cannot foresee any logical reason why they would take her away. These kids need safe homes. I can only imagine that this is a ploy. I'm sure the media offered these women money. If it were anybody other than Angelina Jolie, I doubt they'd be stepping forward and speaking to a tabloid. Think about it.
love brangelina's family
Well, what do you think adoption IS? Basically to put it bluntly,(unless the kids are true orphans) it's buying or stealing other people's kids,or taking their left-overs.It's not uncommon for children to be stolen from their parents and sold off to adoption, often under the false pretense of "abuse" or being "orphans", when, in fact, they had no right to be removed from loving homes.It's tragic now how human beings have become commodities, to be bought and sold to the highest bidder,and how children of the poor and disadvantaged are often sold to the rich,too lazy to give birth to their own.
In Touch are liars. Busted! read the articles at other forums. The story InTouch printed was all lies.
I agree that Perez should have pulled the posts. I called the school about this. I contacted the website through their email tip address and never heard back. Perez has enough ads running that he can afford to hire people to monitor things. I hope he gets sued over this. I personally contacted them and I am sure others did too.
By they way, I am a firm believer in free speech but I think the stupid comments and the poor oversight by Perez Hilton is really sad. I think money is really all that matters. I wish talk shows and magazines would stop writing about him. He seems morally bankrupt as do many of the posters on this blog.
Instead of posting on Perez about things you know little about go volunteer and make the world a better place.
COME ON!!! I would bet that if the adoptive parent(s) were not rich and famous the birth mother would have stayed dead for all eternity. Even if this lady is the biological mother it is her own fault that her daughter is not with her and her family now. She knew exactly what she was doing when she signed over her parental rights. If Angelina were to offer her money right now in exchange for keeping Zahara I GUARANTEE you the — would take the money and run!! (Wonder if this lady ever heard of keeping her legs closed if she knew she would not be able to support a child in the first place?!) She should DEFINETLY NOT be able to keep or even see Zahara EVER!!!
What's with all this "FIRST" crap???
I will contact them. Thanks for the lead.
I would be curious to know if anyone has a phone number for Perez Hilton.
Oh please. Leave the poor kid alone. If the grandmother and the extended family could have done the child some good, she would not have been lying in the orphanage awaiting the arrival of the grim reaper.
Those people are just crabs in a bucket trying to pull Zahara back down to the bottom of the bucket.

I wouldnt want to return to that AIDS ridden shithole.
Zahara will get raped if she returns to her motherland.
The mother might as well have been dead. She ran away from her child when she was at her most vulnerable state. I have no compassion from people who run from their problems because it could dirrectly affect their ability to live.
Thats why you shouldn't raise 10 kids at once. It'll confuse the fuck out of you.
It's so sad! This is totally different from Madonna & baby David tho. He had a fahter and she knew that he had a father. She pretty much took him away from his father & gave him a better living situation. Angelina did not know that Zahara's mother was still alive. I think it would be best for Zahara to say w/ Brad and Angie. The amount of money they have is ridiculous! I'm sure they can provide much better living situation for Zahara. But they totally should take into consideration that she needs "culture" For example, she will probably need to go to a different hairstylist than Angie. Stuff like that might be sensitive, but I think she is definitely better off w/ Angie and Brad!
lolz.. 518 asshole !!!
why ?
Angelina is an amazing woman and you know what that child is obviously in a better home….they fled and left their child…..not only that they cant even afford to feed the kid. As far as Im concerned its about the kid. Good job Angelina
Re: Derek – Don't be a loser and do this person's twisted desire. He's a coward. He's probably not liked at school and taking it out on others. Don't listen to him because YOUR life and family's life will be ruined.
