The actress plans for the future ahead of surgery to remove her ovaries.Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt plan to add more children to their family of six kids, but the family will have to face a couple more challenges before bringing home a new baby.Angelina has opted to undergo another preventative surgery to remove her ovaries, but not before harvesting her eggs in anticipation of creating another child with her partner, Brad.“Angie knows Brad wants more children, so she’s decided to freeze her eggs before the procedure so that they can add to the family in time,” a source told Star magazine.The Oscar-winning actress had a double mastectomy in February 2013 after learning she carried the same genetic disposition as her mother, Marcheline Bertrand.“She’s amazing to muster the strength to face yet another major medical procedure and still plan for another baby,” the source said.Doctors estimated Angelina faced an 87 percent risk of breast cancer before the surgery, according to her New York Times editorial, My Medical Choice, she wrote last May. Her risk of ovarian cancer is 50 percent.“Once I knew that this was my reality, I decided to be proactive and to minimize the risk as much I could,” she wrote about her decision to undergo the first surgery that dropped her chances of breast cancer to under five percent.Angelina chose the double mastectomy first because of the extensive nature of the surgery. She managed to keep the three months of procedures private and continued to work during that time.She adopted her first child Maddox from Cambodia in 2002. Three years later she adopted daughter Zahara from Ethiopia. Brad then adopted both children himself, with their surnames changed to Jolie-Pitt.The couple welcomed its first biological child, daughter Shiloh, in 2006. The next year they adopted son Pax from Vietnam.Kids five and six were twins Knox and Vivienne, born in 2008.
