Angelina Jolie, Adoption is a Gift

In the current issue of Vanity Fair, Angelina Jolie talks candidly about her relationship with Brad Pitt, her kids and adoption, religion and the name 'Shiloh'. The photo spread is great. In one pic, Jolie poses in a green wig! It was her idea! When the photos where taken it was January and she was just about two month preggers! That's why there's no baby bump! Jolie says although she and Brad Pitt aren't married, they feel married.

She tells Rich Cohen, who did the interview with her, "We both have been married before, and it’s very easy to get married, but it’s not easy to build a family and be parents together. And maybe we’ve done it backwards, but we certainly feel married". As for kids and adoption, she says: "Adoption is not a humanitarian thing, because i don't see it as a sacrifice. It's a gift". It's amazing seeing things through her eyes.

Both Jolie and Pitt have somewhat different take on religion, here's what she said about it:
"Brad got me this great thing for Christmas. It’s a bookshelf that has a book on every religion. That’s how we plan to raise our kids. Teach them about all religions. They can pick one or be a student of all of them. We’ll celebrate Kwanzaa for our girl. We’ll celebrate moon and water festivals for our boys. We’ll take them to temples in certain countries. Also to church."

As for little Shiloh, who'd they come up wit that name? Jolie explains: "It’s a biblical name, but we didn’t name her for that. It was a name my parents almost named their first child - there was a miscarriage: Shiloh Baptist. Because my father had been shooting in Georgia and that was the most southern name my parents could come up with. It’s a name I always liked. I used to go under it in hotels: Shiloh Baptist. I’d gone under it when [Brad] called hotel rooms where I was staying."
