BEIJING, Mar. 22 -- Actress Angelina Jolie finalized the adoption of a Vietnamese orphan Tuesday, adding a fourth child to her family, according to the U.S.-based adoption agency that organized the process.

    Jolie has remained out of public view since arriving in southern Ho Chi Minh City last Wednesday to pick up the 3.5-year-old boy from an orphanage and traveling to Hanoi on Monday to complete the adoption.

    The boy¡¯s birth name is Pham Quang Sang but Jolie has renamed him Pax Thien Jolie, a name that combines the Latin word for peace and the Vietnamese word for sky or heaven.

    ¡°The Vietnamese authorities had already cleared the adoption, and the U.S. Embassy approved the adoption Tuesday,¡± said spokeswoman Laura Feragen on behalf of Philadelphia-based nonprofit agency Adoptions From the Heart.

    Jolie, her family and their assistants arrived in Hanoi on Monday.

    Oscar-winning Jolie, 31, traveled to Vietnam with her 5-year-old son Maddox, who was adopted from Cambodia, and 2-year-old sister Zahara, adopted from Ethiopia.

    She also has a biological child Shiloh Nouvel with actor and companion Brad Pitt.

    Completion of the adoption came as Hollywood trade paper Daily Variety reported Tuesday that Jolie has been cast in her next movie, an action film called ¡°Wanted,¡± set to begin shooting in Eastern Europe in May. Variety said she will play an assassin who teaches the ropes to an aspiring hitman
