Angelina Jolie Plan To Adopt Another Child

Angelina Jolie says she and Brad Pitt, who have three children including a newborn daughter, are planning to adopt another child, just weeks after giving birth to daughter Shiloh Nouvel, in an upcoming TV interview. “Next, we’ll adopt,” Jolie tells CNN’s Anderson Cooper in an interview to air Tuesday on “Anderson Cooper 360″ (10 p.m. EDT). The exclusive interview airs this week as part of a special edition of “Anderson Cooper 360??” marking World Refugee Day.

Angelina said she and Brad will decide which country their next infant should come from based on what will be best for Maddox, four, and Zahara, 16 months, the two adopted children they already have.
“We don’t know which – which country. But we’re looking at different countries,” the actress tells Cooper. “And we’re – I’m just – it’s gonna be the balance of what would be best for Mad and for Z right now. It’s, you know, another boy, another girl, which country, which race would fit best with the kids.”
Same goes for Brad Pitt, who earlier told Vanity Fair that he would love to have kids until someone stops him.
“I would love all girls,” he mused.

She also admitted she was “terrified” during Shiloh’s birth in Namibia by Caesarean section and was relieved when she heard the baby’s first shriek. “That was my whole focus,” she said. “I just wanted to hear her cry.”
“We had a moment of thinking,” Angelina Jolie said, “Why did we leave that other one? Is that the kid I also didn’t adopt?”
“We’d love more children,” Angelina continued, “And fortunately we have the resources to be able to get help where we need it or to have big enough place.”

Jolie’s adopted daughter Zahara, now about 15 months old, is from Ethiopia, and son Maddox, 4, is from Cambodia. The children’s surnames were legally changed to Jolie-Pitt earlier this year after Pitt, 42, announced his intention to become their adoptive father.
The couple’s younger daughter, Shiloh Nouvel Jolie-Pitt, was born on May 27 in Namibia in one of the most highly anticipated celebrity stories of the year.

Angelina Jolie also told CNN reporter Anderson Cooper in her interview that she had a stupid income for what she does, of which she aknowledged she gave a third to charity.
“I had a stupid income for what I do,” she said. The money does make a difference and Jolie does see change. She said she feels “lucky” because she is able to visit the places that receive her money.
“I can meet some people who say, ‘God, we really need a well, or these cars are broken. Or we need something in the camp that’s … at school.’ And I can go back a year later and see it built or see the cars.”
In June, magazines like People and Hello reportedly paid the couple millions to publish the first photos of the new baby, with the couple announcing that the money would go to charity.

In addition to the Jolie interview, “Anderson Cooper 360??” will feature reports from CNN Chief International Correspondent Christiane Amanpour and CNN Africa Correspondent Jeff Koinange about poverty, famine and refugee camps across Africa.
In recent years, Jolie’s acting career has generally been overshadowed by her work as a goodwill ambassador for the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees.
