ANGELINA'S ADOPTION NIGHTMARE

ANGELINA JOLIE has been blindsided by suspicions her adopted son Maddox was stolen from his birth parents after an explosive new documentary exposed a shocking Cambodian baby racket!

However, the Hollywood superstar has insisted she went to “great lengths to ensure Maddox did not have a living birth mother in Cambodia” and she declared she would “never rob a mother of her child.”

But baby Maddox was taken from Cambodia and delivered to Angelina in 2002 by adoption agent Lauryn Galindo — who was later jailed for falsifying key documents to obtain visas for Cambodian orphans!

Between 1997 and 2001, Galindo organized 800 adoptions for U.S. families — more than half of all Cambodian adoptions in the southeast Asian nation.

An ABC News investigation in 2005 found desperate Cambodian families — who often could not afford to feed themselves — would sell their children for as little as $15!
