Officials in Ho Chi Minh City are reviewing Jolie’s file and should be finished by March 31 at the latest, the director of Vietnam’s International Adoption Department, Vu Duc Long, told the Associated Press on Tuesday. Angelina will be free to pick up the child any time after the approval is granted, he said.
Trung also said Jolie’s adoption is being processed quickly because the boy is older and his files were already nearly complete.
