Angelina Jolie Comments on Madonna Adoption Controversy

Angelina Jolie has some experience with adopting children from overseas and she is coming to the defense of Madonna whose recent adoption of 1-year-old David Banda from Malawi have sparked international controversy.

"I have been horrified by the attacks she's been subjected to," Jolie says in the new issue of the French magazine Gala. "All that should count is the happiness of her little David."

Jolie candidly discusses the situation that Madonna has found herself in following David's adoption.

"Madonna knew the situation in Malawi, where (David) was born," Jolie says. "It's a country where there is no real legal framework for adoption. Personally, I prefer to stay on the right side of the law. I would never take a child away from a place where adoption is illegal."

Jolie digressed from the topic of the adoption and discussed her relationship with Brad Pitt. She says, "Don't go repeating it whatever you do, but, yes I love him. I love him a lot," she says. "After I met him my life seemed more harmonious."
