Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt Reportedly Adopt Seventh Child
Update, 9/22: While rumors of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt adopting another child have been circulating for months, Radar Online reports that the couple has officially begun the adoption process. After visiting Syria on a humanitarian trip, Jolie met three young Syrian orphan siblings whom she wanted to adopt, a source revealed. "Angelina was heartbroken to learn the three of them had seen their father taken away by Syrian soldiers, and their home was also bombed. And they lost their mother in the bombing."
