Rumors on Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt considering adoption again do surface every now and then, with almost clock-like precision. It is that time of the year again, as word in the media has it that the famous actors are thinking, and have even made some preliminary moves, to adopt another child from Ethiopia.

One source, professing to have first-hand accurate information, has spoken to the tabloids and spilled the beans on the reported plans of the couple to add yet another member to their already large brood. “Brad and Angelina have seen pictures of a two-year-old girl they’d love to adopt. If everything goes to plan, Angelina will file papers in person in the capital city of Addis Ababa in the New Year, and they will pick up their new daughter two days later.” the spy is quoted as saying.

As it happens, Brad and Angelina do actually plan to travel to Ethiopia in just a few days, but the purpose of the visit is, at least officially, that of visiting the HIV/AIDS center they founded there after they adopted 4-year-old Zahara. “I can’t say anything about when they are coming, but yes, when they come to Ethiopia we will expect a visit from them.” an official from the clinic told the British Grazia magazine.

Back on the realm of gossip and hearsay, the same source that “uncovered” the secret adoption plans also claims that the two stars, who already have a large family of six (three natural children and three adopted), want to add more members to it, while the other kids are still young. It seems that the explanation for that would be that it would allow them to get over the nanny stage, and focus on other stuff.

“Angelina gets a kick from saving kids and giving them this amazing life they would have never had otherwise. Yes, they might be adding to their family fast, but they want all their kids to be roughly the same age, so they do the nanny stage and get it over and done with. Another kid in the house will make no difference to the noise and chaos they already have.” the so-called spy told the US tabs.
