Brad Pitt Reportedly Wants To Adopt New Baby With Wife.Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt reportedly want to expand their brood of six to seven -- or maybe eight. Jolie and Pitt are parents to Maddox, 13; Pax, 11; Zahara, 10; Shiloh, 8; Knox, 6; and Vivienne, 6. Although the two have not publicly said that they want to adopt a Syrian orphan, a rumor that they do is flourishing. A simple search of Jolie’s name on Twitter will quickly bring up “Syrian orphan.” Jolie, 38, and Pitt, 49, want to have a biological baby together and adopt another child, a source told U.K. news site the Sun. “Angie and Brad's attitude toward kids is the more the better -- and that once you have several a few more makes no difference,” and insider said, according to the London Standard Evening. “The publicity would help draw the world's attention to what's going on there. The twins are now 4 and Angie and Brad have agreed it's time for more kids. They're crossing their fingers that they'll bring their next child home soon.” The couple has three biological children together: Shiloh, Knox and Vivienne. Their other children were adopted from other countries. Maddox was born in Cambodia, Zahara is from Ethiopia and Pax is from Vietnam.Jolie, the director of “Unbroken,” recently visited Iraq and discussed her travels to that country in an op-ed for the New York Times. “I have visited Iraq five times since 2007, and I have seen nothing like the suffering I'm witnessing now,” she wrote in the piece, published Tuesday. “For many years I have visited camps, and every time, I sit in a tent and hear stories,” she explained. “I try my best to give support. To say something that will show solidarity and give some kind of thoughtful guidance. On this trip I was speechless.”

She’s famed for making a successful career for herself in the acting world, but over the past few years Angelina Jolie has been busy continuing her work as a UN Goodwill Ambassador.And now, the Hollywood star and her husband Brad Pitt are set to be introduced to Pope Francis in a special ‘VIP meet-and-greet at the Vatican,’ according to Us Weekly.The 39-year-old actress was spotted with her daughters Shiloh, aged eight, and nine-year-old Zahara at Ciampino airport in Rome on Wednesday afternoon – prompting further speculation she is due to meet the leader of the Catholic Church in the next few days.Dressed in a chic black overcoat and knee-length leather boots, Angelina was unable to hide her smile as she headed towards her car with her young girls by her side.According to the publication, the American star’s head of security flew out to Italy earlier on to do a security check ahead of the family’s arrival.A source revealed that both Angelina and Brad ‘admire the Pope’ and ‘like the Pope's message’ after he famously spoke about homosexuality in 2013, where he said: ‘If someone is gay and he searches for the Lord and has goodwill, who am I to judge?’ Meanwhile, the couple – who have been together for nearly a decade - finally cemented their relationship after tying the knot in August.Angelina recently spoke about their reasons for marrying after such a long time, and how she feels their relationship has changed since becoming husband and wife.
'What was lovely about it was that we didn't feel there was something missing or that we needed to get married. We felt so complete, and the commitment to children is one that you cannot walk away from, so we already had that commitment,' she told Daily Mirror.'It was really that we wanted to re-commit in a deeper way, and we wanted to celebrate the union with our children.'However, despite being a long-term couple, she added that she can feel a change somewhat since becoming a wife: 'And it does feel different when you say, 'my husband' or 'my wife'. It warms you in a different way and you look at that person a little differently.' Angelina and Brad will partner up professionally yet again in the film By The Sea, which will hit theatres in 2015. They will portray on-screen husband and wife in the drama, who end up striking up a friendship with locals of an ocean side town while stopping by during their travels.

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie supportive of Shiloh’s choice of gender-identity

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's eight-yer-old daughter dresses as a boy and wants to be called as ‘John.’ Back in 2008, Pitt in an interview with Oprah Winfrey on her show revealed that even when she was just 2½ years old, their daughter Shiloh already chose to identify herself as a boy. Said he then: “She only wants to be called John. John or Peter. So it's a Peter Pan thing. So we've got to call her John. ‘Shi, do you want...’ – ‘John. I'm John.’ And then I'll say, ‘John, would you like some orange juice?’ And she goes, ‘No!’ So, you know, it's just that kind of stuff that's cute to parents, and it's probably really obnoxious to other people.”Wife Jolie back in 2010 also told Daily Mail: "I don't think it's for the world to interpret anything. She likes to dress like a boy and wants her hair cut like a boy and she wanted to be called 'John' for a while. Some kids wear capes and want to be Superman and she wants to be like her brothers. It's who she is. It's been a surprise to us and it's really interesting, but she's so much more than that - she's funny and sweet and pretty. But she does love a tie..."
Now, after four years, the whole Jolie-Pitt family still addresses Shiloh as 'John.' At the premier showing of her mother's Unbroken film, her being seen and photographed sporting a short haircut and wearing a suit and tie much like those of her older brothers Pax and Maddox did serve to provoke media attention.As Pitt noted years before, their decision to support their child's choice of gender identity will have some social media users opposing and criticizing them on the issue.However, many more did agree with them. Lisa Suhay at Christian Monitor is one of those who sides with the couple. She wrote: "Jolie and Pitt are doing something very wise and brave by setting an example for other parents to get past the idea that boys will be boys and girls will be princesses, by allowing their child to explore who she is and trust they will recognize her, not by her dress, but by who she is day-to-day - their child."
