"Our goal is to seek a safe home for the child. Jolie has not promised to give anything to the centre," US Weekly magazine quoted him as saying.

Van Trung has also revealed that the little boy was abandoned at a Ho Chi Minh City hospital as an infant, and then taken to the orphanage. He said that the staff at the centre tried their best to locate his parents but failed. The centre’s director also said that the boy was in good health and liked playing soccer.

"He is in good health. He is a little bit shy," Trung said. The boy will be given to Jolie at a ceremony in Ho Chi Min City.
