Actress Angelina Jolie completed procedures with Vietnamese authorities on Thursday to adopt a boy from a Ho Chi Minh City orphanage who is aged between 3 and 4.

Officials said the boy had been renamed Pax Thien Jolie and the adoption would be final once U.S. consular and embassy officials give approval.

"It is lucky for him. It's wonderful to be adopted by someone really famous. You can have a good life," said Nguyen Thi Thuong, 39, who was at the office with her British husband to register their child's birth certificate.
