Angelina Jolie's Brother: 'We Are Now Orphans'Angelina Jolie and brother James Haven consider themselves orphans following the recent death of their mother - even though their father Jon Voight is very much alive.Actor Haven, whose mother Marcheline Bertrand lost a long battle with ovarian cancer on 27 January (07), claims Jolie's empathy for parentless children comes from her very own experience with their father.Haven says, "There were times when our father was awesome but my biggest memory is that he would look more to our faults than to our strengths, and that's what was so hard."Now that our mother has died we're two orphans, Angie and I, so she has a deep understanding of the orphans she adopts."Jolie and partner Brad Pitt are parents to three adopted children; Maddox, five; Zahara Marley, two; and Pax Thien, three; as well as biological child Shiloh Nouvel, 10 months.Meanwhile Jolie's brother says Angelina's relationship with partner Brad Pitt has totally changed her life, according to her brother James Haven.Jolie is raising three adopted children Maddox, Zahara Marley, and Pax Thien, and biological daughter Shiloh Nouvel with the Ocean's Thirteen star - and Haven is convinced his sister has found a partner for life following failed marriages to Jonny Lee Miller and Billy Bob Thornton.Haven, 33, says, "Brad has changed my sister a lot. They have an extraordinary bond, it's not on the usual level.
"He's great with her and I've never seen a brood like that who are all so supportive of one another.
"Brad is so strong for her. When she feels vulnerable, he has the most incredible strength. She says she couldn't have adopted more children after Maddox without him.
"I've never seen any sign of tension between them, and if it keeps going the way it's going, they'll be together for life."
