Dr Tsegaye Berhe, who handed over Zahara to her new parents at the Addis Ababa orphanage, revealed to Britain’s News of the World newspaper: "They were like any couple looking at their child for the first time. "Angelina wiped a tear from her eye. That’s when Brad put his arm around Angelina and whispered, ’How do you like your new mummy and daddy?’ "They were so happy. Then they turned to me and said, ’This makes us a whole family.’"
Angelina Jolie has reportedly moved into Brad Pitt’s Malibu home - July 05
Sources claim the pillow-lipped actress has set up home in the mansion with her adopted children, Maddox and Zahara.
But friends say the ’Tomb Raider’ beauty is terrified of bumping into Brad’s estranged wife, Jennifer Aniston - who is renting a house just 20 minutes down the road. A source told Britain’s The Sun newspaper: "Jennifer will return soon from filming in Chicago and knows it’s only a matter of time before she comes face to face with Angelina. But she wasn’t prepared for it to be so close to home."
Jennifer chose to rent her Malibu home after her split from Brad because it was close to the home of her ’Friends’ co-star and best pal, Courteney Cox. Meanwhile, Angelina is believed to have introduced Brad to her mother. The couple were spotted with Angelina’s two children at the Raffles L’Ermitage Hotel in Beverly Hills, where the actress’s mum, Marcheline Bertrand, lives.
Witnesses say hunky Brad, who has made no secret of his desire to become a father, was carrying Angelina’s baby daughter Zahara. The handsome actor accompanied his ’Mr and Mrs Smith’ co-star to Ethiopia when she went to collect Zahara, and he was reportedly heard asking the little girl how she liked her new Mommy and Daddy.

Her family moved to LA when Angelina was eleven and she soon began working on her acting career, enrolling in the Lee Strasberg Theatre Institute where ahe appeared in several productions. Despite her abilities Angelina was teased during her time at Beverley Hills High School - far from being beautiful and popular she was skinny, with glasses and braces and wore second hand clothes. At 14 she dropped out of theatre classes, harbouring dreams of becoming a funeral director, and began cutting herself. Angelina began a rebellious period of her life, moving out of home and in with her boyfriend.
At around the same time she was taken on by Finesse Model Management and took jobs in the US and Europe, she also appeared in several music videos for the likes of Meat Loaf and Lenny Kravitz. Then, at 16, she returned to acting and rekindled her relationship with her father. She appeared in several of her brother’s student films before, in 1993 she was offered a role in sci-fi flick Cyborg 2. Several equally poor productions followed before Angelina landed a role in Hackers, which was a cult hit and threw the actress in the direction of Jonny Lee Miller, whom she would soon marry.
Little known films such as Foxfire and Mojave Moon followed but it was the Golden Globe winning George Wallace that got Angelina noticed and Pushing Tin, which co-starred Billy Bob Thornton and The Bone Collector helped her on her way to global stardom. However it was her part as messed up teenager Lisa Rowe in Girl, Interrupted which won her her place on the Hollywood walk of fame. The role won her an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress as well as several other accolades.
Action movies Gone In 60 Seconds and Lara Croft: Tomb Raider followed and made sure Angelina was admired the world over by men and women alike. Meanwhile her personal life became just as fascinating than her on screen performances. Having divorced Jonny Lee Miller she married Pushing Tin costar Billy Bob Thornton, famously they wore vials of blood around their neck, however in 2003 they also divorced despite having adopted a Cambodian orphan, Maddox. At the same time she admitted she had had a relationship with a female costar on the set of Foxfire. Meanwhile she continued with her now much publicised humanitarian work, as a Goodwill Ambassador for the UN and her film career, appearing in Alexander and Taking Lies among others.
In 2005 Angelina took a leading role in Mr & Mrs Smith, opposite Brad Pitt. Although the movie itself was widely panned the burgeoning relationship between Angelina and Brad, who was at the time in the process of splitting from Jennifer Aniston, made sure it was a hit. The relationship was also a success, in January 2006 Angelina announced that she was pregnant, just months after adopting second child, Ethiopian Zahara, she gave birth to Shiloh Jolie-Pitt.
Angelina has confirmed that she is working on a screen adaptation of Beowulf, A Mighty Heart and Atlas Shrugged.
