Angelina Jolie & Brad Pitt Adoption Plans Ruined by Madonna
One report had claimed that Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie would adopt a baby while they were in India working on the film, 'A Mighty Heart.' But now those plans have reportedly been scrapped and the reason being reported is the grief Madonna has been hit with over her recent adoption.
The Sydney Morning Herald is reporting that the Hollywood couple - who have a baby daughter Shiloh and two adopted children, five-year-old son Maddox, who is Cambodian, and Ethiopian daughter Zahara, who is 22-months-old - planned to give a home to an Indian orphan but have been put off by the criticism Madonna has received for adopting a 13-month-old Malawian boy
A source told Britain's New magazine: "No one wants to be dragged through the heartache that Madonna has. It's a real shame.
"Angelina was so saddened. When people start questioning the legality of adoption, of whether you'll be able to keep the child, it gets into a territory that's just heartbreaking."
The article also claims that the source revealed: "Angelina has a philosophy that people enter your life for a reason - that you go to a place for a reason. This made India a perfect spot for them to explore introducing a new culture into their lives. She believes so strongly in adoption.
"Brad would prefer a boy no older than 18 months to even out the sexes but Angie has told him she can't guarantee she won't fall in love with a little girl. They had originally hoped to be able to bring the child home before Christmas, and had even thought of a name, India, to honor the child's homeland."
Brad has said he would like at least six children, enough to make a mini-soccer team, while Angelina earlier said she wanted thirteen.
