Another adoption for Angelina
Showbiz Desk
NEW
YORK—Angelina Jolie is still playing it coy when it comes to her
apparent domestic bliss with Brad Pitt, even as nuptial nattering grows
louder, but she’s more than happy to fess up about her desire to adopt a
third child in the near future. “I’m planning on it,” the painfully
skinny mom of Maddox, 4, and Zahara, 9 months, told People at the
inaugural benefit for the Worldwide Orphans Foundation Monday in New
York. “Most of the night I just thought about how quickly I want to
adopt again. It’s a very special thing. There’s something about making a
choice, waking up and travelling somewhere and finding your family.”
She was equally effusive about adding to her brood when questioned by
“Entertainment Tonight,” enthusing, “Oh yeah, definitely and
absolutely.” Jolie, 30, who attended the fete with doppelganger brother
James Haven (best known as the guy she locked lips with moments after
she won her Oscar), isn’t sure where her next child will come from,
although she was reportedly once interested in adopting from Russia.
“There are so many wonderful places,” she marvelled to People. “There
are many parts of Asia, Africa, South America, so sooner or later I’ll
end up everywhere, I’m sure.” When and from where Jolie will bring home
another baby is most likely a decision she’ll make with Pitt, who is
still in Canada filming “The Assassination of Jesse James.” The
family-craving actor accompanied Angie to Ethiopia when she picked up
Zahara in July and is reportedly called “daddy” by Maddox, whom the
actress adopted from Cambodia in 2002.
Jolie wistfully told the New York Post last year that she hoped one day
she “might be fortunate to fall in love and get married and realize
that, with the help of a partner,” she could adopt many more kids. “My
dream is to have under one roof many different cultures and many
different religions,” she told the New York Daily News in 2003. “I think
that would make for amazing people.”
Maddox is apparently all for the idea of another sibling, with Jolie
revealing to “ET” that the Mohawk-topped tyke can’t get enough of his
new little sister: “If anything, I have to stop him from kissing her too
much.” |
