Holy rumor mill
I didn’t get a chance to check my mail until lunch time today and I was amazed at the sheer volume of alert emails I’ve received saying that “sources” are saying that Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are ready to adopt a baby, another girl from Africa. Unfortunately, none of these sources are reputable yet - for instance, there’s no word from People on this.
It’s insane the way the rumor mill grinds these stories out. First everyone is swearing that Angelina is pregnant, and then when that doesn’t work, they all turn around and decide Angie and Brad are adopting. I’m amazed anyone can keep up. If the couple ever read the tabloids, they’d probably be exhausted over all the things they’re “supposedly” doing.
Which do you think will happen first? Will Angelina give birth to another baby or will they adopt?

I THINK BRAD AND ANGIE WILL HAVE ANOTHER BIOLOGICAL BABY FIRST BEFORE THINKING ABOUT ADOPTING. I DO NOT BELIEVE THEY WILL ADOPT ANOTHER ONE AS OF NOW , BECAUSE OF SO MUCH GOING ON IN Z’S CASE. LET THEM TWO MAKE MORE BEAUTIFUL BABIES . MAY GOD BLESS THEM MORE,THEY ARE SUCH GREAT GREAT PARENTS.

Personally, I’d have a biological to determine which sex to adopt next. They have two of each which is already a nice balance of gender. However, as they keep saying they want a rainbow family and won’t stop at four, we can only wait and see.

Who knows, for the dream couple would be the same adopting or having bios baby. They feel comfortable with both options.

This isn’t helping the rumors, but I’ll play along…
I’m willing to bet that their doing neither right now.

I’m hoping biological but Angie and Brad are unpredictable so I’ll expect the unexpected which is probably neither.

I was bored and started watching youtube vids of Angie and Brad and this one stood out. It’s only Angie though.

I read in one of those gossip column that James Haven said that Angelina and Brad are about to adopt another little girl from africa. I am a devoted fan of them both and if they want adopt that is there business not the world. One question, Why is Angelina brother telling the family business? I think that is private, I know we the fan and would like to know, but somethings are private and should not be said to the public.

chevjuls- I was just thinking the same thing about her brother. Lately he has been quoted an awful lot divulging information about their relationship.
But I am not sure whether they will adopt or have another biological child first. Four children is a lot of work and I am sure they want to ensure that adding another child does not effect the other children in a negative way (such as pulling away their needs and attention).
It is their personal business and I think they would be better served to keep it private and let us all in on it when it is a final decision one way or another. Can you imagine the media storm if she becomes pregnant or if they adopt again? I would hide that info. for awhile before losing further privacy!!
But all in all, I wish them happiness in either decision :-)

I read in one of those “gossip column” that James Haven said
Its a gossip column. They make it up. I doubt they spoke to James Haven or that he said anything. That is thier job, to make up stuff.
When they add to their family, we will know,
and I’ll be happy for them.

I know that we all like Jolie and Brat and that’s why we come to this website. However, I just wonder if anyone of you have thought about the US Primary election. It is all about your country ( I live in Asia).

I’m only following the US elections with mild curiosity. I’m not American. :) I tend to stick more closely to my own Canadian politics.

chan, i have thought about the elections, but i usually post relevant thoughts on websites that pertain to this news/topic. anyway, news about the election is everywhere, so, one can’t help but to actually think about it (not to mention discuss it) on an almost daily basis. :)
as for this rumor about a new addition, i strongly believe it is a rumor. justjared mentioned that the story was reported by the uk’s daily mirror, not quite reputable.

for the love heaven, i can’t write properly tonight :) (sorry, i just read my preceding post.)
i agree with loren about james. so many zines have claimed that they spoke to james, and most of those zines are just gossip rags.
anyway, let’s just wait and see if the family will soon welcome another angel. :)

I think they are trying for bio first. Since bio will take about 9 months if they managed to concieve so they still have time to prepare Mad, Z, Pax and Shi.. If they are trying for adoption then maybe in another year…

You are all correct folks. One thing about rumors, is that the sources can say anything because it is a rumor. I believe they are not doing either but the tabs want something juicy to talk about including James Haven’s name. Everybody is speculating including laineygossip.com. Like what one of you said, Brad and Angie are very secretive and unpredictable. They should be because they have the right of privacy even though they are public people.

even thought i love to see how their next bio-baby looks like… im leaning more to adopting. as they will save one more life, and make another “abandoned” happy.

im going to correct myself. they will make another child happy, when their life could have been very different, and not as good as they could have with Ange & brad. z, mad, and pax are sooo very lucky ange & brad chose them.

How much fun it is to speculate! I think Angelina looked especially curvaceous at the recent award ceremony and I wonder if she is already pregnant, but quite rightly not mentioning it in case something goes wrong.
Chan, the election is important for all the world, but many posting on this site are not american…
If you wish my views, you can see them on ‘the guardian’ british newspaper chatrooms… only joking! Have a good day, sweetie. :)

I think it is difficult to say because they are unpredictable. Personelly I think it would be better if they had a biological child because they have 9month to prepare the little ones for it… but we dont know how well the kids are adjusted to the situation so if Angi and Brad think it is alright then they will adopt again. A child from africa would make sense as well as another biological silbling for shi, because Angi said once that everybody in the family should have one with the similar background… Z and Shi are waiting ;)
Its strange what James told the mag (he often tells personal stuff but with his good relationship to Angi it must be ok for them). If Angi and Brad would like to adopt, they would have visited Africa woudnt they? May they want to but not so soon… anyway its all guessing, gossip should leave them alone, they know what they are doing.

Right now, we are all speculating, let’s wait & see wether they are adopting or having another biological, for sure they will do both. They want balance in their family.
Academy awards had just made an announcement this morning, they snubbed Brad & Ange, but happy with Ben Afleck for his nomination for the Assassination Of Jesse James. At Today show, they say they were surprised Angelina Jolie didn’t make it, they were expecting her to be nominated but she didn’t. I guess, I will not watch Oscar night this month. God bless the Jolie-Pitt’s.

chan, the Democratic candidates specially Clinton & Obama had their tongue wagging debates in South Carolina. They completely forgotten that Edwards was part of the debate team. Politics are getting dirtier. There’s strong possibilty that Clinton will win the Democratic primary & I hope McCain wins the Republican primary. I saw John Voight supporting Republican candidate the other day, he just stand on the background.

Well, Brad & Ange didn’t get the nomination today at The Academy Awards, I will not be watching the Oscar either since my favorite actors are not there.
Casey Affleck was nominated for the Assassination Of Jesse James, good for him, I hope he wins.

biological hopefully..maybe she’s already pregnant :D

Bee, I remember Angie saying that about balancing the family, so I am going to say that I think adoption might come first. And since Pax was to balance with Madd, an Africa adoption would be too balance Zee. I truly believe that these children feel so much love from their parents that it doesn’t matter if it is a bio child or another adoption. As for the rumors about Angie’s brother, I hope he uses good judgment on what he says because it could become a bone of contention. Chan, I care a great deal about who becomes our next president, but it a long time until August when the two parties have their conventions. I am personally hoping for a Democrat in the White House next year.

If they choose to have another biological child I hope Angie will do it before she is much older b/c of the stress it puts on the body.

MaryAnn, thats what I wanted to say. For balance a child from africa would make sense as well as a biological child. Lets wait and see on which wonderful way this wonderful cute family is expanding :)

Whether or not they have another biological baby or adopted child,they are good parents and they love children.I read where she is wanting another Brad baby,then maybe they will consider adopting.
I hope for the biological baby, and I hope it is a boy this time.I want to see what a little baby Brangelina will look like.If the baby looks anything like Shi,then we can look forward to another Brangelina in the future.Just look at Shiloh.
