After spending much of the last two years immersed in work, Angelina Jolie has another project on the horizon, and this one is family related. Various sources are reporting that she and husband Brad Pitt have wrapped up top secret negotiations and adopted a 2-year-old boy from Syria. The couple are already parents to three adopted children as well as three who are biological.
According to a new report by Express, Jolie first met the little boy while visiting Turkey as a United Nations ambassador for refugees. She was visibly moved by the experience and the boy came and gave her a hug. The two bonded and spent the rest of the visit hanging out together, with him making a lasting impression.
"The Hollywood pair have reportedly adopted a 2-year-old boy born in Syria, taking their brood of six to a group of seven children. Woman's Day, an Australian website, said the A-list couple are set to welcome 2-year-old Moussa to their fold any day. Moussa will be the couple's seventh child, and the website suggests he is an orphan currently living in a refuge camp in Turkey but born in Syria. ... Angelina is said to have first met the child when visiting the camp as part of her work with UNICEF," explained the source.
It is interesting because while promoting Unbroken in recent months, Jolie seemed far more interested in politics and world issues than she did in ever acting in another role again. She pretty much admitted that she was more likely to direct from now on while focusing on other things. From the sound of it, other things will include integrating a seventh child into the family.
