Angelina Jolie is happy to have a chance to focus on her growing family and its newest member, Pax Thien Jolie, according to an interview published in a Vietnamese newspaper Friday. "I will stay at home to help Pax adjust to his new life," Jolie told the Ho Chi Minh City Law in comments reported by the Associated Press. "I have four children, and caring for them is the most important thing for me at the moment. I'm very proud and happy to be their mother." Jolie adopted the 3-year-old Vietnamese boy on Thursday, during a ceremony at the Ho Chi Minh City Justice Department, which publishes the newspaper. Since she arrived in Vietnam on Wednesday night, Jolie has been hounded by a jostling horde of photographers and reporters. Jolie said she was sorry that her new son had to be exposed to such a frenzy. "Photographs and press coverage will make him upset," Jolie said in the interview, which was published in Vietnamese. "I'm very worried about that. I would like to say I'm sorry for bringing this into Pax's life."
