Angelina Jolie is opening up about her divorce from Brad Pitt.

In an interview with Vogue India, the Mr. & Mrs. Smith star gave a rare look into the couple's 2016 divorce, telling the outlet that the decision to separate after two years of marriage was done with "the wellbeing" of their six childrenMaddox, 18, Pax, 16, Zahara, 15, Shiloh, 14, and 11-year-old twins Vivienne and Knox—in mind.

"I separated for the wellbeing of my family," she said. "It was the right decision. I continue to focus on their healing."

She also addressed her silence following their separation, explaining how the speculation surrounding her and Pitt's relationship affected their children.

"Some have taken advantage of my silence, and the children see lies about themselves in the media, but I remind them that they know their own truth and their own minds," she added. "In fact, they are six very brave, very strong young people."

"Each is a beautiful way of becoming family. What is important is to speak with openness about all of it and to share," she began. "‘Adoption' and ‘orphanage' are positive words in our home. With my adopted children, I can't speak of pregnancy, but I speak with much detail and love about the journey to find them and what it was like to look in their eyes for the first time."

"All adopted children come with a beautiful mystery of a world that is meeting yours," the Changeling star continued. "When they are from another race and foreign land, that mystery, that gift, is so full. For them, they must never lose touch with where they came from. They have roots that you do not. Honor them. Learn from them."

She added, "It's the most amazing journey to share. They are not entering your world, you are entering each other's worlds."

Noting that her children Maddox and Pax were adopted from Cambodia and Vietnam, respectively, and that the countries were once at war with each other, Jolie said that she's "grateful" to have both boys in her life.

"I did originally think not to adopt from Vietnam because Mad was Cambodian and the two countries have a complex history," she recalled. "Then I was reading a book on human rights and found myself staring at an image of a Vietnamese fighter held captive by Americans. I thought of my own country and our involvement in south-east Asia."

Jolie continued, "I thought of focusing on a future where we were all family. I am very blessed to have been allowed to be their mom. I am grateful every day."
