Angelina Jolie and Pax JolieThe biological grandparents of Pax Thien Jolie have claimed that their daughter, Dung, will try to contest Angelina’s adoption of the boy.

Pax’s grandfather Chien told the News of the World: “Our daughter is a heroin addict and she is a bag of trouble. Her life has been ruled by drugs since she was 16.”

“When she finds out that a rich movie star has adopted her baby, she WILL go after Angelina Jolie for money and make trouble for her. She may even try to take the child back.”

“Dung disappears for months on end. Then just when you think you will never see her again, she’s back. But we only ever see her when she wants money.”

“In January [she] was at our house when the deputy director of the orphanage where we had sent her baby paid a surprise visit to tell us a wealthy American wanted to adopt him.

“Although our daughter was in the room, she did not reveal that she was the boy’s mother. Nor did we. She just sat in the corner, pretending to knit. She did not say a word and showed absolutely no emotion. She listened hard when the director told us her boy was going to have a good life, and that he was lucky he was going to live with this rich American woman.”

“Then she disappeared. She was still hooked on drugs and we told her we had had enough. We have not seen her since that day.”

“In February, we were asked to sign more papers agreeing to the adoption and stating that we did not know the whereabouts of our daughter, which we did. We did not know then that Angelina Jolie was the rich American who wanted to adopt our grandson.”

Pax’s auntie Trang added: “She didn’t know she was pregnant until quite late on, otherwise she would have had an abortion. She took heroin all through the pregnancy and when the baby was born he was very underweight, just over four pounds.”

“I went to the hospital. He was already hooked up to a ventilator. He looked like a wet cat. He was so tiny, I didn’t think he would survive but my sister never had any doubts that he would.”

“I was also terrified that he would be born with HIV. Happily, he wasn’t, because my sister says she doesn’t inject heroin, only snorts it.”

Dung abandoned the boy at the hospital shortly after he was born because the family couldn’t afford to raise him, with Trung explaining: “I felt terrible about that and so did Dung. We kept thinking about the sick little baby we left behind. We are all still hurting about what happened and we do feel guilty about how we abandoned him.”

“Dung may not be a good or respectable person but, still, she is his mother. We have no right to expect anything. But we want him to know where he comes from when he grows up.”

Pax’s grandmother Nhan added: “I never visited my grandson. I was scared I would fall in love with him and want to bring him home. I knew we could not afford and my daughter could never support him.

“But we hope he has a very happy life and that one day he’ll come to visit us. I just I pray my daughter forgets all about him.”
