On March 10, 2002, Jolie adopted her first child,[166] seven-month-old Maddox Chivan,[21] from an orphanage in Battambang, Cambodia.[167] He was born as Rath Vibol on August 5, 2001,[168] in a local village.[13] After twice visiting Cambodia, while filming Lara Croft: Tomb Raider (2001) and on a UNHCR field mission, Jolie returned in November 2001 with her husband, Billy Bob Thornton, where they met Maddox and subsequently applied to adopt him.[169] The adoption process was halted the following month when the U.S. government banned adoptions from Cambodia amid allegations of child trafficking.[169] Although Jolie's adoption facilitator was later convicted of visa fraud and money laundering, her adoption of Maddox was deemed lawful.[170] Once the process was finalized, she took custody of him in Namibia, where she was filming Beyond Borders (2003).[169] Jolie and Thornton announced the adoption together, but she adopted Maddox alone,[159][171] and raised him as a single parent following their separation three months later.
