brangelina brood
Angelina Jolie plans to add one more to the mix - adopting another child from Africa.



Despite the rumors that persist of a Brangelina break-up, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are planning to travel to Ethiopia in three months to adopt yet another baby. This would make the Brangelina brood tally grow to 5. Five years ago Angelina adopted 5-year-old Maddox from Cambodia, prior to her relationship with Pitt. Both Angelina and Brad adopted 2-year-old Zahara from Ethiopia, two years ago. Their only biological child, Shiloh, was born last year. Earlier this year, they adopted Pax Thien, 3, from Vietnam. All of the children bear the Jolie-Pitt moniker. A source close to Brangelina said:

“Brad and Angie have made no secret of the fact that they are keen to extend their rainbow family, but they’ve always been very careful to ensure that they leave enough time between kids so that that each child fully integrates into the family and feels truly settled. Angie in particular feels very strongly that while Shiloh will grow up seeing the family resemblance between herself and her natural parents, and Maddox and Pax will feel a connection through their birthplaces, Zahara has no such close-knit bond.They hope that by finding an Ethiopian brother or sister - preferably sister - for her, it will help Zahara feel more comfortable and happy in her own skin. Both Brad and Angelina are incredibly excited about the latest addition to the Jolie-Pitts and if anything will bring them closer together, then this is it.”

The Daily Mail reports that Brad and Angelina will visit Ethiopia’s Wide Horizons Agency in November, the same agency where they adopted Zahara.

I would hope that adopting another baby with Brad is not an attempt on Angelina’s part to have a stronghold on Brad. If the rumors are true about their strained relationship, they should definitely think twice before adding an innocent baby into their family. Those poor kids will be crushed if these two split. It’s the children who I feel sorry for the most if that happens. Eh, but who knows…they could stay together forever too.
