Angelina Jolie is adopting her second child, a newborn Ethiopian baby orphaned by AIDS. "Her name is Zahara," Jolie said. Arrangements for the adoption are expected to be completed Wednesday.

The 30-year-old actress and U. N. activist says the girl's full name is Zahara Marley Jolie. Jolie won't divulge the child's age, weight or height, but she tells that she and Maddox, the 3-year-old son she adopted from a Cambodian orphanage in 2002, are "very happy to have a new addition to our family."

Jolie has often talked of adopting a second child. After a trip to Ethiopia earlier this year, Jolie said of Maddox: "My son is in love with Africa, so he has been asking for an African brother or sister."

You Said

Just out of curiosity... does she ever let Maddox walk? I swear every pic I see of them she is holding him!

I think it's great that she's adopting again. It's nice to see celebrities do good things.

I wouldn't let my child be walking when there's a mob of people around me all the time. It's just faster to walk carrying him than walk at his speed. Furthermore children that age never stay still. Think about it next time you are at the mall with your baby on a chistmas day sale.

She didn't bought the babies. She adopted them (legally) and why does every woman has to give birth in order to have a child. She wants to adopt then let her. She has her reasons and that's not our business.
