Angelina Jolie wants to adopt another child from Ethiopia.

The actress and her long-term partner Brad Pitt - whose relationship is rumored to be going through a rocky patch - are reportedly planning to travel to the African country to find a fourth disadvantaged child they can give a home to.

The couple - who are already adoptive parents to six-year-old Cambodian boy Maddox, Vietnamese son Pax Thien, three, and two-year-old Zahara, who was born in Ethiopia - believe another baby will strengthen their relationship and help Zahara feel more secure within the family.
A source close to the couple - who also have a 14-month-old biological daughter, Shiloh - told Britain's Daily Mail newspaper: "Brad and Angelina have made no secret of the fact they are keen to extend their rainbow family.

"Angelina, in particular, feels very strongly that while Shiloh will grow up seeing the family resemblances between herself and her natural parents, and Maddox and Pax will have a connection through their birthplaces, Zahara has no such close-knit bond. Brad and Angelina hope that by finding a brother or sister for her, it will help Zahara feel more comfortable and happy in her own skin, and also bring them closer together."

The couple are said to be planning to visit Ethiopia's Wide Horizons agency, the same place that introduced them to Zahara, in November.

Angelina, 32, recently admitted she and Brad, 43, were planning on adopting again.

She said: "I want to find an equilibrium between family and work. Brad and I want to continue to adopt, but keeping a big family is expensive."



Angie seen having a chat with James McAvoy before they go off for an evening of shooting their new movie, 'Wanted', in Chicago last night.

Poor Shiloh. She will be raised with the notion that she was loved least by her mom because she was born of her womb with a “silver spoon in her mouth”. Children in hollywood are becoming like Paris and her dogs, unconditional love and devotion with out haveing to potty train them all for a price. Pathetic…Angie is just trying to fill that void her mother left when she died. Her belief that she is being a humanitarian by adopting all of these children because men come and go but children are forever, is wrong. I see a future like Drew Barrymores for Shiloh. Poor thing, when she is older I can see her wondering why her mom is so distant from her why she is so quiet and why she looks at her that way. I think Angie has a lot of probles that are barried way deep down inside her and Brad is only there for the sake of the kids. At least they’ll have a great dad to turn to when things are tough. Outward perception of peace can be a lie, they are actors, never forget that.

I really hope this is NOT true..

She’s finally figured out she gets more pictures taken if she’s holding the normally ignored baby so that explains why she’s holding her now. Photo op bitch.

“believe another baby will strengthen their relationship”

anyone with brains knows having/getting a baby to fix a troubled relationship is the WORST reason to have one. unfortunately, people do it all the time. i have a close friend who did that…got deliberately pregnant during a rough patch with her husband hoping a baby would draw them closer…yes, after 4 months of sleepless nights, fights over unequal childcare responsibilities, and her not whipping herself back into super-fit shape instantly they got separated. and of course custody became a central issue in the divorce with them using their baby as a financial and emotional weapon against each other. to this day my friend denies she had the baby to try and save her marriage, but it’s pretty damn obvious she did.

my older sister had her second child during a VERY bad patch in her marriage for the same reason. at least now she admit she had her son to try and keep her husband attached to her (she will never admit that to her kids, that would be awful). and again the kids became a tool in their never-ending divorce and custody fight.

for the sake of the kids (not the parents) i hope ang and brad stay together b/c those kids have been through enough, esp. Pax who just got yanked out of an orphanaged into a life bombarded by strangers and paparazzi. those kids don’t need to bullshit that would result of Brangelina split up….it’s likely Ang would go psycho if Brad tried to get partial custody of any of the kids (except Shi who i suspect she would throw at Brad).

Omg didn’t she say that they are stressed enough with the current children, why the hell would you add more right now? They’ll soon be like that couple with the 17 kids i think it is…the duggars.

Yea poor Pax let him adjust for a while. Brad take Shiloh and run
