Early Adopters
As she was getting over her divorce from actor Billy Bob Thornton, in 2002, Angelina decided she wanted to adopt a child. She adopted her first son, named Maddox, who was just six months old and orphaned in Cambodia.
Growing Family
In 2005, Jolie wanted to expand her family even further and adopted her second child, a baby girl named Zahara from Ethiopia. The tabloids, as well as fans, could not get enough of the story, but they had no idea what was waiting for them around the corner.
