Brangelina to adopt seventh child NOW??

And it’s not gonna be Chinese orphans as what was widely reported the past few weeks! This time, the rumor is that Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are getting a little girl from Africa! Womans Day reports that despite their twins Knox and Vivienne being just six weeks old, the Jolie-Pitts are already in the FINAL stages of adopting their seventh child — supposedly to give Zahara a playmate and not feel estranged as she’s the only one dark-skinned in the family. Both Pax and Maddox are tanned Asians while the rest are creamy whites like Angie and Brad. Jane Pitt, the actor’s mother, has already expressed concerns about how tired Brangelina are with their two new babies but it seems Angelina Jolie is still determined with the African adoption. A source says,

Angie never planned to have biological children, she always saw herself adopting. She and Brad made a pact that they’d adopt as soon as possible after the children were born.”

Angelina Jolie to adopt Chinese orphans soon??

Goodness! And to think she just had twins! But according to Britain’s Daily star, Angelina Jolie (and Brad Pitt, I guess) is *really* already contemplating another adoption. And this time, they want to get a kid from China. Sources said Angie was so devastated by the China earthquake last May that she’s been in touch with relief workers with regards to adopting, and has even received photos of a few orphaned kids. The source revealed,

“She’s made overtures offering a home to one earthquake orphan, or even two if they are siblings.”

Two?? WOW! That would put her brood with Brad Pitt to eight! Will they still have enough time for them? Won’t the other children be jealous? Especially with the arrival of the cutest twins ever? Daddy Brad says it’s not the case, at least for Maddox. The hunky actor shared to Hello magazine that Maddox (shown in the mag looking down at Knox in his arms and has a blue streak in his hair) has been “asking when we can have more.” LOL!

Brangelina still wants more kids!!

GOLLY! Come August, the Jolie-Pitt bunch will number six lil people — but Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are not fazed by that number and say they still want more for their family! During the recent Cannes Festival, the pregnant actress revealed,

We keep thinking, ‘is there ever going to be a time when we don’t have kids in the house?’ Maybe we’ll eventually start a foster home or something. We have a clinic that handles children so there are ways of looking after kids without actually physically having them in your home and we’re doing more and more of that. But I think we will adopt again. I’d like to do it again.

Guess it’s all okay coz Angelina Jolie did admit they have multiple nannies to care for their children — though she insists they do not spend the night. Thus, requiring her and Brad Pitt to really spend time and take care of their children themselves. Angie shared,

“When I’m working, Brad’s home with the children and vice versa. We do have nannies that help us, but nobody spends the night. We also spend a lot of time completely alone with our children. We’ve kind of found a balance.”

Mia Farrow LOVES Angelina Jolie =)

If you don’t know who Mia Farrow is, you’re definitely not old yet. Hehe! Good for you! ;-) Mia Farrow is another actress, who, like Angelina Jolie is into charities, adoption, and humanitarian work. Nice huh?? Read the full report below.

Pax Thien is officially a Jolie-Pitt!

Last Wednesday, Hollywood supercouple Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie were seen having a dinner date with Clint Eastwood and his wife. The occasion? The adoption of their 4-year-old son, Pax Thien was finally official! =) TMZ reports,

“After receiving permission from Vietnam, where Pax Thien was born, the adoption needed approval from the L.A. County Children’s Court in Monterey Park, California.”

And that court approval was received by Brangelina last February 20. They soon headed out to Brentwood, California where they celebrated. According to “Jefe” at zimelela.net, Brad and Angie were over an hour late for their reservation. He related,

“… just a sighting of Brad Pitt. With Angelina Jolie. And Clint Eastwood. They were over an hour late for their reservation at the restaurant we had just finished eating at, and thus got turned away. They handled it very well, casually walking out and [went] across the street to a mid-market Italian joint.”

Angelina Jolie is pregnant with TWINS!

angie_preggy.jpgYes, twins! And that’s according to three websites (X17, Star and Bauer Griffin) with Star CONFIRMING the news. According to them, it was last week when Angelina Jolie discovered she was pregnant with twins. Their source says,

Brad and Angelina are absolutely ecstatic. But I still think there will be more adoptions to come.”

Man, I do not know what to make out of all these rumors! Angie’s brother, fellow actor James Haven, recently said that Brangelina are adopting an African girl, and now this twins news! Which is true and which is a ploy to lead everyone astray?? LOL! The pregnancy rumor itself started when Angelina Jolie appeared glowing and looking very healthy last January 7 in the Critics’ Choice awards. Observers also noticed that while Brad drank beer, and others at their table got champagne, the Beowulf actress stuck to water. Also, there’s that cancellation of Angelina Jolie’s scheduled European trip due to “private” reasons. Hmm..

Angie is adopting from Africa again!

Or so says her brother, actor James Haven. Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have spoken about having baby #5 but rumors pointed to the actress conceiving their biological child #2. Apparently this was not the couple’s plan. James told the Daily Mirror that Brangelina will start looking at African orphanages over Easter in the search for a baby girl. He revealed:

“They are creating one big family and will keep adopting as long as they are able to. Angie and Brad talk about how much they have been taught by their kids. In many respects Angie saved Zahara’s life and there are so many more children whose lives she could save and she talks about that constantly.”

Wow, Angelina Jolie really wants to save the world – even if that means adopting all orphans, but of course, just adopting one child at a time. Hehe! You go gurl! We’re proud of you! =)

Angelina Jolie feared being a bad mom!

Hmm, I guess celebrities have their moments of insecurities too!

In the case of Angelina Jolie, she was insecure of not being a good mother She didn’t realize how challenging motherhood is until she had her first adopted child, Maddox from Cambodia, last 2002.

Angelina Jolie shared to the media recently, “They put him (Maddox) in my arms and I stared at him and I started crying and he smiled. I hadn’t held children before in my life. I was always considered so dark and I thought maybe I shouldn’t be someone’s mom because I’m not so sure about myself – am I going to be the best mom? The fact that this little kid seemed so at ease gave me the courage to feel I could make him happy and so we became a family.”

I’m sure by now you know you’re a great mom Angie! For sure, you had the confidence to adopt more, and even have your own (hi Shiloh!). If you still don’t believe that you’re doing a great job being a mother, I’d personally ask your kids to tell you. LOL!
