Zahara is one child who I am really glad that Brangelina adopted because if she hadn't been adopted by the pair, she very likely would now be dead. In case you don't remember, Zahara's mother died from AIDS and when Brangelina first got Zahara she was near death because she was suffering from malnutrition and dehydration.
Zahara's pediatrician informed Brangelina that Zahara is suffering from hip dysplasia which is hereditary disease that can cause crippling lameness and painful arthritis, and is commonly found in dogs. An operation followed by the wearing of a brace will usually cure the problem and Zahara would likely lead a normal and healthy life.
Poor Zahara.I hope all goes well with her surgery. And she is lucky to have parents that can pay for it.
ReplyDeleteAmen, Princess! I'm not a fan of Angelina, but thank God she has the money to care for Zahara.
ReplyDeleteShe is one lucky girl!
ReplyDeleteI cannot imagine how many children from her country die needlessly every day.
Maybe she will grow up to do great things in helping the population she left behind.
She's a beautiful girl. Those big brown eyes make my little heart want to melt. I'm glad they adopted her too! Amen.
ReplyDeleteDitto twisted sister... I used to think AJ was pretty cool, but she's BUGGING me now.
ReplyDeleteBut I'm glad little Zahara is with people that are willing to go through all this with her and have the means to pay for the best treatment possible. I'm hopeful that Angie's kids won't grow up to be demanding and acting all "entitled".
I know several people that have adopted kids with special needs/who that require special medical treatment. It's such a great thing to see the kids thrive and grow and bring such joy to those around them... and a bit humbling to think that if they hadn't been adopted, they would have probably not lived very long.
So, yeah- Angie- you are turning into a real pain, but kudos to you for our humanitarian work and for giving these kids a better life. Just stop messing up your own life, or you'll leave these kids with lots of money and no mommy. Trust me, they want the mommy more than the money.
Good Karma all the way for little Z! I bet she's a hoot to hang out with - her facial expressions to the paps crack me up.
ReplyDeleteHopefully they'll stay in one place for awhile and let her heal. At the very least her parents seem to love the snot out of her and can afford the best care there is.
Miss Z is a real pistol.
ReplyDeleteLove Her
Dragon Slayer, maybe we can tell AJ how wonderful she is after we bitch slap her a few times.
ReplyDelete"...and is commonly found in dogs." WTF. So is cancer, but I've never seen anyone put that line in.
ReplyDeletetwisted sister:
ReplyDeleteAMEN! The queue forms here...
WTF? It's congenital - meaning present @ birth, not hereditary. Reads like somebody wiki'd the term for the info & got the usual great info - on fricking dogs! Hope this writer does better research on the "true" blind items.
ReplyDeleteMaddox and Zahara will RULE H'wood in 10 years!!!
ReplyDeleteA lot of dogs DO get it, though. I know one little doggie that has to have a special brace.
ReplyDeleteWell said, Dragon Slayer!
ReplyDeleteRelax its true dogs get it way more than humans.
ReplyDeleteI always thought she was alil bow legged so this is no surprise..prob why they carry her a lot.
I read that Zahara has ricketts, which can be hereditary or from malnutrition.
ReplyDeleteLooking at this picture reminds me of how much better Angelina looks with some weight on her (yes, I remember she was pregnant) - her wrists don't look so brittle.
ReplyDeleteI would just love to see her smile.
ReplyDeleteI don't know how accurate this is. She was running all around Central Park with Brad just a few weeks ago and looks fine. I know Angie refuses to let her kids walk (there's always a kid glued to her hip to remind us she's the greatest mother ever).
ReplyDeleteIf this IS true, it's something that you're supposed to take care of when they're really young. If she had it, I'd imagine Brad and Angie would have taken care of it already (surgery).
I've seen lots of pictures of little Z standing on her little bow legs. I'm not surprised she would require surgery and braces for her legs. She seems like such a little spitfire. I think she's my favorite of Brangelina's kids.
