Study: Child Adoptees More Likely To Turn Into Teen Terrors

If wee Zahara Jolie-Pitt turns out to be a total goth who listens to Morrissey nonstop and refuses to leave her room, Brad and Angie shouldn't blame themselves; adopted children are twice as likely to be diagnosed with an emotional or behavioral problem, says a new study out of the University of Minnesota. According to Time, "foreign adoptees are far more likely to internalize their problems, suffering more commonly from depression or separation anxiety disorders," explaining Zahara's potential black-clad teenhood. "Domestic adoptees, on the other hand, tend to act out." Before the University of Minnesota's research, it was assumed that adoptees were diagnosed with mental health issues more frequently than other children because their parents were often wealthy and had better access to psychiatric care than the average child; this study suggests that that the disparity could be due to genetics or poor perinatal care. "The deleterious effects may quite possibly have come before the adoption ever took place," study author, psychologist Margaret Keyes points out. More »

Brad Pitt To Larry King: Yup, There's More Kids To Come


Brad Pitt was on Larry King Live last night, and, although he was there to promote his charity in New Orleans, he had to field questions from Larry about Angelina and the kids. Brad said that the kids think it's totally normal to come out of a house or building and see a wall of photographers, and he wishes there were laws against the paparazzi calling out the kids' names and following them. And although he kept reminding Larry that he tries to keep his private life private, he did gush a little, especially about Zahara, calling her "an absolute delight." Also, though they already have Zahara, Maddox, Pax and Shiloh, Brad admitted (again) that he and Angelina are "just getting started" in terms of children. The Jolie-Pitt Army will inherit the earth! Check out the clip, above.
