Staff at the Vietnamese orphanage where Angelina Jolie adopted her son Pax are holding out hope for another visit from the star, a report has claimed.Tam Binh Orphanage staff member Nguyen Kim Xuyen said that she 'never' hears from the Maleficent star but would love to make contact.The government-funded orphanage in Ho Chi Minh City, in Vietnam's south, is reportedly in dire need of money to feed the children it cares for.When the 41-year-old adopted Pax in 2007 she allegedly told staff 'I'll be back'.Nguyen still believes that Jolie will pay them another visit one day.Everyone is looking forward to them returning to Tam Binh. We will meet again some day,' Nguyen reportedly said.It is not suggested that Jolie is under any obligation to visit again. Born Pham Quang Sang, Jolie renamed her son Pax Thien Jolie in 2007.When she picked up Pax in 2007, Jolie told Ho Chi Minh City Law newspaper, according to a translation in the Associated Press: 'I will stay at home to help Pax adjust to his new life.'I have four children and caring for them is the most important thing for me at the moment. I am very proud and happy to be their mother.'Everyone would agree that children need to have a family. I have the ability to help children fulfill that desire. Why should I say no?'Pax was three years old when he was adopted by Jolie after she applied to be his main carer through an agency in the US.Abandoned at birth by a drug addict mother, he was called Pham Quang Sang before being renamed by Jolie. Pax is Latin for peace and Thien is Vietnamese for heaven.At nearly four, he was the oldest child Jolie had adopted.She was already the adoptive mother to Maddox, from Cambodia, and Zahara from Ethiopia.Jolie and now-estranged husband Brad Pitt took Pax back to Vietnam for a visit in 2011.The then couple, who have three biological children and three adopted, have always said they want their children to remain in touch with their home countries.On Friday, Jolie publicly surfaced for the first time since she filed for divorce from Pitt.n a recorded video message for the International Criminal Court she spoke about the Dutch-based tribunal's launch of its policy on children.'Successful prosecution, whether at the ICC or elsewhere is part of the long and vital generational effort. That is the light in which I believe the court's new policy on children should be seen,' the Oscar winner said in a clip captured on Twitter.'I particularly welcome the commitment to include charges for crimes against children wherever the evidence permits as part of a more systematic approach. I congratulate the office of the chief prosecutor, and all those working on the policy.'The Special Envoy for the UN High Commissioner for Refugees also stated: 'Mankind owes to children. We know we aren't giving the best to children.'Jolie is requesting full custody of her and Pitt's six children - Maddox, 15, Pax, 12, Zahara, 11, Shiloh, 10, and twins Vivienne & Knox, 8.Jolie's agent and lawyer have been contacted for comment.
