HOLLYWOOD - Angelina Jolie is hoping to adopt a young Vietnamese boy, an adoption official has confirmed.
Vu Duc Long, director of the Southeast Asian nation's Ministry of Justice's International Adoption Department, announced on Friday that the actress had filed papers through a U.S. adoption agency to take custody of a child.
On Saturday, he released further information, confirming the child is a male and is younger than her current adopted son Maddox and older than her adopted daughter Zahara Marley and biological daughter Shiloh Nouvel.
Long said, "She has made an application to adopt a boy aged between three and four years old and her paperwork will be processed according to the regulations like everyone else.
"Normally it takes about four months to process an adoption request but if she has found the child, it could take much less."
Jolie, her partner Brad Pitt and their family visited Vietnam in November in between filming of A Mighty Heart in Pakistan.
Jolie adopted Cambodian-born Maddox in 2002 and Ethiopian-born Zahara in 2005. She gave birth to Pitt's child Shiloh in Namibia last May.
