Adoption agents are irked that Angelina Jolie dared to criticize Madonna’s adoption of her Malawi son, David, without acknowledging her own past adoption scandals, the New York Post’s Page Six reports.

Jolie, 31, recently told French magazine Gala she would “never take a child away from a place where adoption is illegal.”

Yet Jolie failed to mention that when she adopted her Cambodian son, Maddox, in 2002, she used Seattle International Adoptions, run by Lauryn Galindo – who was found guilty two years later of visa fraud and money laundering related to Cambodian adoptions.

“Angelina is not a hero in the adoption community,” Tatiana Beams, a Seattle-based international adoption advocate, told Page Six. “She adopted Maddox under a questionable agency, where the directors went to prison.”

Beams said that after Jolie’s debacle, Cambodia adoption was brought to a halt, and many families who were waiting to acquire children were left empty-handed.

David Ptasnik, director of Americans Adopting Orphans, defended Angie’s choice in adoption agencies, saying, “it was the largest agency in the world. Angelina Jolie wouldn’t know that she was entering into a questionable adoption.”

However, Beams is also peeved that Jolie “does nothing, or at least very little, to keep international adoption open and legal for American families and children.”

She added, “It would be nice to see her speak out on issues and policies surrounding international adoption.”
