Are Brad and Angelina already planning another adoption?


Both Star Magazine and The National Enquirer have stories this week that despite just having twins, and a household of six children that they describe as "chaotic" and a "cuckoo's nest," Brad and Angelina are planning on adopting again. This rumor is now being reported online, and we may as well cover it. Of course they've both been open about wanting to have a large family, but it seems more than a bit premature to adopt again at this point and I'm not sure this is true:

NATIONAL ENQUIRER: THEY WANT TWO MORE CHILDREN AND ARE WORKING ON IT NOW

Globe-trotting Angelina Jolie is going to expand her brood to eight children and adopt at least two more kids - one from China and another from Africa, the Enquirer has learned.

Even though the "Wanted" star is still recovering from giving birth to twins, she's already planning new additions to her rainbow family.

She intends to head back to Ethiopia to adopt early nexy year - so 3-year-old Zahara can have an African sibling.

The stunning actress and boyfriend Brad Pitt have also been deeply moved by the children who've been orphaned by the Chinese earthquake in Sichuan. The power couple are already working on adopting a baby from China by the end of 2009, disclosed an insider.

STAR MAGAZINE: THEY PLAN TO ADOPT ONE ORPHAN FROM EITHER ZIMBABWE OR MYANMAR

[Angelina Jolie is] so intent on adding to her rainbow brood, says a source, that even while holed up in hospital in Nice, France before the July 12 birth of son Knox and daughter Vivienne, she was already diving headfirst into the adoption process to rescue another orphan.

"There she was in the hospital about to have two babies, and still she was thinking of all the helpless ones alone out there in the world," says an insider.

"She was poring over photos and profiles of children while confined to her bed. It was like the process she went through to find Pax while pregnant with Shiloh

Now insiders tell Star that Angie, 33, and Brad, 44, have narrowed down the search for needy little ones to two of the most troubled countries in the world - Zimbabwe and Myanmar.

The National Enquirer is a much more reliable source than Star, but both are suspect in this case and I would hope that Angelina and Brad are just laying low and enjoying their family. Who am I to judge, though? These two have the resources of a small country at their disposal and if they want to have a bunch of kids more power to them. I know a family with 10 children, all biological, that range in age from 18 months to 18. I'm pretty sure they don't even have a nanny. The older kids take care of the younger ones, so it could be a little easier than Brad and Angelina's arrangement in some respects, but the Jolie-Pitts can hire as many people as they need.

Brad and Angelina have said they want a "soccer team," from between 7-9 children, and they they want to raise them while they're young. Angelina has even talked about opening an orphanage. These reports of another adoption in the works could possibly be true. If they do adopt another one - or two - we're sure to hear about it and see plenty of pictures so I guess we'll know soon enough.
