Pax Officially a Jolie-Pitt
Current bumpwatch aside, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have officially added to their brood.
A Los Angeles County Children's Court judge formally approved the camera-ready couple's adoption of four-year-old Pax Thien Jolie-Pitt on Wednesday.
Pax is now a legally recognized member of the ever-expanding clan, which in addition to the superstar parents includes fellow siblings Maddox, 6; Zahara, 3; and Shiloh, who turns 2 in May.
TMZ, which first reported the news, said the family held a mini celebration after the judge signed off on the paperwork at a courthouse in the Monterey Park area of L.A. Jolie reportedly left the facility with a teddy bear in hand. (The couple was later spotted, sans kids or stuffed creatures, dining with Clint Eastwood in Brentwood, according to Us Weekly.)
Pax first came into Brangelina's collective life back in November 2006, when the do-good couple spotted the tot during a visit to an orphanage in Ho Chi Minh City. A solo Jolie returned to Vietnam in March 2007 to adopt the boy.
She initially filed as a single mother, in accordance with a Vietnamese policy prohibiting unmarried couples from adopting.
Just three months after his stateside arrival, Pax's surname was officially changed to Jolie-Pitt; his older siblings' were similarly changed back in January 2006.
While an official adoption ceremony did take place in Vietnam's Department of Justice in March 2007, the U.S. had not, until now, formalized the addition.
