Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie To Adopt Again; Child #7 Reportedly Imminent
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are adopting another child, according to a report. The Hollywood power couple that is called Brangelina are reportedly welcoming a little girl to their brood of six.
The “Mr & Mrs Smith” co-stars already have a large family by Hollywood’s standard, with six children in total. But it appears that the loving parents want another member added to their happy family.
“Angelina and Brad have spent much of the festive period discussing extending their family,” Grazia magazine quoted an unnamed source as saying. “They’ve been open with the children about it and they are all excited at the prospect.”
With three children adopted from different countries, and three biological born in other nations, where would they adopt their next child?
Apparently, they had considered Jordan to be their next destination, but the adoption process in the Arab kingdom proved to be a difficult one. So instead, they are looking into orphanages in Ethiopia, where their eldest daughter, Zahara, was born.
“They have always wanted Zahara to have a sibling who shares her African heritage,” the source continued. “Ideally they’d like a girl aged between two and three.”
Brangelina are said to be seeking advice from Dr Jane Aronson, an adoption expert, to help with the procedure. They are also building an AIDS clinic in Zahara’s name in the African nation; therefore, they are expected to visit in April.
The added, “There is likely to be a visit to Ethiopia in the next few months to check on proceedings at the clinic. But they will visit orphanages at the same time. They hope to have everything in place to go ahead with the adoption around April.”
Angelina previously said in interviews that they weren’t ruling out another adoption, but they wanted everyone to settle in first before adding another child. That was years ago, around the time that she has given birth to her youngest children.
And judging by the looks of their children during public outings, they seem to be really getting on so well already. So perhaps it’s time to add another child again.
Brad and Angelina are parents to adopted children 12-year-old Maddox (born in Cambodia), 10-year-old Pax (born in Vietnam), and 9-year-old Zahara (born in Ethiopia), as well as to their biological kids 7-year-old Shiloh (born in Namibia) and 5-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne (born in France).
