I just have to say I don't think this relationship will last very long, and that it's a bad idea to get the kids involved in it. Just my opinion.
Jolie’s kids now legally called Jolie-Pitt! Saturday January 21 2006 00:00 IST

WASHINGTON: There is more good news for Brad Pitt and his ladylove Angelina Jolie, besides a visit from the stork, the couple can now go ahead and legally add the name Jolie-Pitt to Angelina’s adopted kids’ names.
“Their names are Maddox Jolie-Pitt and Zahara Jolie-Pitt,” Jolie attorney Evan Spiegel was quoted by Eonline, as saying.
Maddox, 4, originally from Cambodia, was adopted by Jolie in 2002 during the end days of her marriage to Billy Bob Thornton. Zahara, 2, originally from Ethiopia, was adopted by Jolie last year during the early days of her unconfirmed romance with Pitt.
Jolie and Pitt were not in court for the hearing, reports said. The newly christened Jolie-Pitt children presumably weren’t there, either.
Jolie initiated the name-change process last December--her court filing the first formal sign that she and Pitt were more than just former Mr and Mrs Smith co-stars.
According to City News Service, Pitt is referred to as “the adoptive father-to-be” in Jolie’s petition.

I came, I saw, I did a little shopping.
i think adopting the kids should be a really serious long term commitment. So why not get married and commit to each other first before involving the children? Children need routine and stability --- It justs seems like they are doing everything all out of order. I find the adoption last name hypenated thing to be a little disturbing.

it is really disturbing to me. just because they have money and fame, it's like no one will give a thought about if it is really what's best for the kids. you would think they would at least have to prove that they are really in it for the long haul to be able to have him adopt them. and how can they do that when they are aleging that they haven't been together all that long.
