In a recent interview with United Kingdom's Elle magazine, Angelina Jolie
revealed that she feels more for her adopted children than she does for her biological daughter, little Shiloh, whom she had together with partner Brad Pitt. Since Jolie adopted her other children when they were already out of their newborn stage, she was not used to having an infant, until giving birth to her daughter.
Commenting on how her other children had already arrived with personalities in tact, she
referred to newborn Shiloh as nothing more than a "blob."
While many adoptive parents, especially those whom are in the world's spotlight, want to make it clear that they do in fact have a bond with their adopted child, and love and care for that child as though they were born to them, it would seem to some that proclaiming your love of one child over the other(s) or vice versa, isn't quite a nice thing to do, regardless of how the children came to be yours.
Jolie was quick to point out that she is conscious not to ignore Shiloh's needs, even if she may feel that her other children are more vulnerable, since Shiloh was born so "privileged." It seems as though she is going just a tad overboard to make a point. The world gets it. You love your children. Stop using one child to make a point with the other three, that's just plain twisted.
Jolie admits that she feels more of a connection to her three adopted children than she does with her biological daughter, Shiloh, because her adopted children, Maddox, Zahara, and Pax have already survived such pain and poverty in their short little lives. It is doubtful that Angelina will be able to foster a solid sibling bond between the four of her children if she continues going around making a distinction between the love that she has for her privileged child, and that of her vulnerable children.
