I'm with Carnation. We started the adoption process for our Chinese daughter before she was even born; didn't get her until she was nine months old! While it's great that Ms. Jolie is changing a child's life, knowing the looong and "looking at every angle of your life" detective work the agencies do, I'd love to know how long she waited after putting in HER papers before she got a child. (Assuming she did put in papers.)
