Dec. 9, 2009 - PRLog -- Blogs and tabloids are reporting that Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have a "secret family" in Amman, Jordan. The rumor that they were considering adopting children from this area began in fall, 2009, shortly after the famous couple visited an SOS Children's Village in Jordan, as reported by People Magazine. The visit was prompted by a special invitation from Her Majesty Queen Noor.

In reality, Angelina Jolie has long been an open and sincere supporter of SOS Children's Villages. In 2007, the Jolie/Pitt Foundation generously donated over $300,000 to SOS Children's Villages for work in support of refugees from Sudan. Ms. Jolie also provides ongoing financial support to the Amman, Jordan Village. SOS Children's Villages truly appreciates and is honored to accept her support.

SOS Children's Villages was founded 60 years ago to provide orphaned and abandoned children with a home and a nurturing family. Children raised in homes within our villages are surrounded by SOS brothers and sisters who are all cared for by an SOS mother. These children are given a wonderful education, nutritious meals, and proper medical care. The villages ensure that a child feels safe and secure from the moment they arrive as children, to the time they leave as self-reliant young adults.

To follow the lead of Angelina Jolie, sponsor an SOS child. Thousands of people around the world sponsor SOS children for about $1 per day. When you sponsor a child, you receive a welcome packet with a picture and a biography of your child. You will also witness your child's growth through letters and progress reports. Some sponsors, such as Ms. Jolie, even visit their sponsored child.

You can help one child today. Please, click here to learn more about sponsoring a child through SOS Children's Villages:  http://support.sos-usa.org/site/PageServer?pagename=spons...
