Among Angelina Jolie's 6 children, Maddox is always the most important one. The actress's eldest child is the person who has accompanied Angelina Jolie through many events, from the time she started and until she ended her relationship with Brad Pitt.

Angelina Jolie's adoption of her son Maddox from an orphanage in Cambodia in 2002 was a life-changing decision. Despite the lengthy adoption process and many obstacles, Angelina and Maddox's dream mother-daughter relationship has been an inspiration to many. Here's an overview of their journey.

When Angelina first came to Cambodia, she told herself: "My son is here". Angelina always knew she wanted to adopt. "When I was very young and I had heard about what an orphanage was, I was anxious to find abandoned children to bring back to live with me and make a real home."

The actress wanted to adopt a child in Cambodia when she was filming Tomb Raider here. When she visited an orphanage in Cambodia, the staff placed Maddox, formerly known as Rath Vibol, in her arms and the boy was still asleep. Then the boy opened his eyes and laughed, and she cried. Jolie says she feels like, "This baby feels absolutely fine with me in my arms."

Maddox changed Angelina's life. Before becoming a mother, Angelina used to be easily depressed or self-destructive. In 2005, Maddox became Zahara's big brother, and in 2007 Pax. Jolie then welcomed her three children with ex-husband Brad Pitt, Shiloh, in 2006, and twins Vivienne and Knox two years later.

In the actress's family, adoption and orphanages are valued. Angelina said all adopted children are a beautiful mystery that enters people's lives and that: "They have origins you don't have. Honor them. It's the greatest journey to be. They're not entering your world, you're entering each other's world," she added.

Angelina incorporated Maddox's cultural background into the educational process. Jolie bought a house in Cambodia for Maddox, and also frequented the place where he was born. In addition, she founded the Maddox Jolie-Pitt Foundation, which focuses on conserving the Asian nation's environment, education, health and infrastructure.

Over the years, Maddox, now 21, has become a versatile young man with a variety of interests. In 2019, he enrolled in a college in South Korea to pursue his passion for biotechnology. He also became his mother's right-hand man in the entertainment industry, acting as an executive producer on Jolie's critically acclaimed film First They Killed My Father.
