Angelina Jolie, an American actress and filmmaker, has spoken out about whether she can let her adopted children to visit their birth country.

The 45-year-old Maleficent actress spoke about honoring all of her children’s cultural heritages when questioned about parenting adopted and biological siblings together.

The actress told Vogue, “Each is a beautiful way of becoming family. What is important is to speak with openness about all of it and to share. ‘Adoption’ and ‘orphanage’ are positive words in our home. With my adopted children, I can’t speak of pregnancy, but I speak with much detail and love about the journey to find them and what it was like to look in their eyes for the first time.”

“All adopted children come with a beautiful mystery of a world that is meeting yours,” she continued. “When they are from another race and foreign land, that mystery, that gift, is so full. For them, they must never lose touch with where they came from. They have roots that you do not. Honor them. Learn from them. It’s the most amazing journey to share. They are not entering your world — you are entering each other’s worlds.”

The actress articulated herself eloquently, “I am very blessed to have been allowed to be their mom. I am grateful every day.”

Maddox, the eldest son, is Cambodian, while Pax, his sibling, is Vietnamese, and Zahara, his sister, is Ethiopian. With ex-husband Brad Pitt, Jolie has a 14-year-old daughter Shiloh and 11-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne.

In the same interview, the actress expressed her desire to divorce Brad Pitt, whom she met on the set of Mr. And Mrs. Smith in 2004, for the ‘well-being’ of her children.

‘It was the right decision. I continue to focus on their healing. Some have taken advantage of my silence, and the children see lies about themselves in the media, but I remind them that they know their own truth and their own minds,’ she told the publication.

She went on to describe her children as ‘six very brave, very strong young people.’
