Jolie Planning to Adopt Another Child

(AP) - Angelina Jolie says she and Brad Pitt, who have three children including a newborn daughter, are planning to adopt another child.

"Next, we'll adopt," Jolie tells CNN's Anderson Cooper in an interview to air Tuesday on "Anderson Cooper 360" (10 p.m. EDT).

Jolie, 31, gave birth to daughter Shiloh Nouvel Jolie-Pitt in Namibia last month. The couple have two older children, 16-month-old Zahara, adopted from Ethiopia, and 4-year-old Maddox, adopted from Cambodia.

"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."

Both Maddox and Zahara's surnames have been legally changed to Jolie-Pitt after Pitt, 42, announced his intention to adopt the children.

The Jolie interview will air Tuesday as part of CNN's entire day of programming devoted to World Refugee Day.

1. Ah Yes! Finally! Jolie acts so colorblind and PC, she is just like everyone else, picking her next kids race on what would fit in well with her other adopted children. How about practicing what you preach! How about adopting one of the thousands of children here in AMERICA that need a loving home. Arggg, she is so annnnnoying!

2. Right on! Children are to be loved not collected like dolls. Why not pick an inner city kid here in America, Angelina? AMERICA...the country who pays to see your GOD AWFUL movies. She is so stupidly pretentious...those kids are gonna grow up to be drug addicts and right the next Mommie Dearest novel...

3. What is this whore trying to prove? And I thought shes done collecting human. With two still on nappies and another one on the way, just wonerdering how many kids she'll be adopting before Brad yell....Uncle!!!!....I wonder what he has to say about this. This cow is doing all the talking these days, may she cut his tongue out to one day drape it around her neck to show her undying love. Wouldnt you be enjoying the new addition to your family before embarking on another human collecting?

4. I read an article about Angelina Jolley once in which she talked of cutting herself and bleedng with her huusband. She also commented about the fact that she could not wait until she had wrinkles and things such as this. She has finally achieved birthing a child and adopting more. These things are in the news and all of us are reading watching and very happy for her and Mr. Pitt. However, the facts remain she is carrying a bottle instead of natural breast feeding I noticed, she is starting a family husbandless, with a man who looks like her son, and she has finally gotten her wishes she is looking older and with drooping face, and wrinkles she so wanted. There is more to having a family and children than this.... So sorry........Liz

5. I do believe there are Plenty of Homeless Children that are in NEED of GOOD homes. Perhaps, They might consider this As an adoption idea. Instead of bringing more people into this country, from other countries.

6. there are plenty of children in This country that need to be adopted, Are they good enought..????? We already have Enough people from other countries in here right now.

Also while these people are wearing their Designer clothes.they might consider how much food that would fffed people in this country, instead of lusting for Designer clothing, and Expensive Toys...!!!!!

9. I THINK MS. JOLIE GOT JUST WHAT SHE DESERVED, THIS HOME WRECKING SLUT. I WOULDN'T LET HER ADOPT ONE OF MY DOGS. AND WHAT IS WITH BRAD, HE LOOKS UGLIER EVERY DAY. SHE HAS HIM DYING HIS HAIR HER COLOR AND I AGREE HE HASN'T SAID 10 WORDS SINCE HE'S WITH THAT UGLY BEACH. SHE LOOKS LIKE SHE'S ALMOST 50 AND I HOPE SHE IS NOT ALLOWED ANY MORE CHILDREN. SHE DOES TRY TO COVER HER NO GOOD DEEDS WITH CHILDREN . SHE DOESN'T HAVE ANY ACTING ABILITY. HOPE HER NEXT MOVIE FAILS MISERABLY.

11. Ok, Sure she goes to other countries and gets kids so say bad stuff about her for doing that and beleive me i agree with you we have kids here that could use a good home why not try and impress some americians by adopting an american kid, what about the older ones no one wants she has so much why not give them a chance why does it have to be a baby. I beleave we should help our own country . Sure they keep having kids in other countries and their starving and dying their so put a stop to them having so many babys and they would be having so many problems, whats that old saying have only as many as you can affored to take care of well teach it to those people. As far as the husband stealing well that happens anywhere it is just being blown out of wack because she is a famous. I do belive we need to help our own country before we can help others and as far as that goes tell the president to stop letting all the other people in our country, have you been to a gas station lately. Why not start at the top and then worry about the actors later.

12. nice comment cheryl trusas,
they can spend there money however they wish, it belongs to them.
why don't you try getting a real job move out of the project and stop living off taxpayers money?? then maybe there would be more for those who are in true need of it, and not free loaders??? who pays most of your rent in the project?? the taxpayers of massachusetts thats who, get off you @ss and get a job do something with your own life first before complaining how others should live and spend there own money, not the taxpayers money.

13. Aloha,
Angelina Jolie is a modern day hero. I admire her, her work for the poor, her desire and ability to love so completely. Only special people can adopt and truly give those children the love they need. Those children will be raised to love everyone. They will be taught tollerance of others, acceptance of those who are different, to love everyone regardless of race, creed, color, religion,or sexual orientation. They are already winners. I am so happy for her that she has found her place in the world and that she has been able to put together such a wonderful family. I wish her and Brad all the happiness in the world and best wishes for a happy, healthy and safe life for them and their children. Aloha

14. I admire Angelina and Brad for adopting out of the county if they can provide a loving stable home for their children. From what I see day in and day out in the tabloid and tv new shows there is never a "nanny" in site. They are always photographed with their children. So if they can emotionally and financially support the children the have then good for them.
I personally know just how hard it is to adopt from the UNITED STATES. It takes years and years of counseling, home visits and paperwork shuffling to even get approved and once approved there is no guarantee that you will even get a child. And lets just say you happen to be "one of the LUCKY ones" to get a child, most of the time the parent that gave up that child has up to 1 year to reclaim that child from you without proving they are fit. So you have invested 1 year of love, support, and attachment only to have that child ripped from your arms. So adopting out of the county is sometimes the best or only choice for many people in the US.
I have 4 friends that had to adopt outside the US for many of those reasons and I am still waiting it out. Adopting out of the county can cost thousands of dollars and these countries have thousands of babies that are in great risk of starvation, horrible disease and MOST LIKELY DEATH. I think it is AWESOME that she is saving at least 3 children in this world from that horrible fate. She is also bringing a lot of awareness to the adoption crisis going on in this world today. Many woman and men in the US can not have children of their own and/or do not have the means to adopt out of the county.... BUT if they have enough money, space and unbelievable ability to love unconditionally it is a great alternative.... IN FACT I am happy that they are adopting outside the US so that regular people like me that do not have that kind of free flowing money, still have a chance at getting a baby from inside the US.

I applaud her and Brad for taking these children into their hearts and rescuing them from an eventual death sentence.

Angelina and Brad keep up the good work and raise those children to be productive citizens.
