Besides the adopted children sharing together, Brad and Angelina also have three biological kids: daughter Shiloh, 14-year-old, and 11-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne.

On a Vogue interview, Angelina discussed how she felt needed to make sure her children acknowledge their geographic and cultural origins. Her eldest son Maddox comes from Cambodia, while Pax is from Vietnam, and Zahara is from Ethiopia.

Angelina shared: "What is important is to speak with openness about all of it and to share. ‘Adoption’ and ‘orphanage’ are positive words in our home."

"With my adopted children, I can’t speak of pregnancy, but I speak with much detail and love about the journey to find them and what it was like to look in their eyes for the first time."

The Tomb Raider actress also pressed what adopted parents owe to their children when their origin is so different from their parents.

Angelina added: “All adopted children come with a beautiful mystery of a world that is meeting yours. When they are from another race and foreign land, that mystery, that gift, is so full."

She concluded: "They are not entering your world — you are entering each other’s worlds."
