There's no way I can know for sure, but my guess is probably not.

They are not taking the child away from his family. The family either doesn't want the child or cannot afford to raise him, so it is a good thing that someone else is willing to take care of him.

will that child be glad he or she was taken into modern society for a better life! Maybe he/she will wish to go back to original home and if help is needed in its own country-- perhaps become involved.

There's no such thing as "natural history", your history is what you make of it. If a Vietnamese born girl is adopted by an American family, then this girl will grow up to be just as American as anyone else even if she was born some place else. If later on in life she wishes to go back to her birth place, she is free to do so and figure out what her life would've been like if she hadn't been adopted, and if she wants to make a life there she can do so, it's up to her.

Personally, I'd choose to live under the same roof as Angelina's rather than an orphanage.
