Angelina Jolie told NBC's "Today Show" anchor Matt Lauer that she and husband Brad Pitt would very much like to add children to their growing family and are already planning for another adoption.
When asked whether Jolie had something specific in mind for a new adoption, she told Lauer simply, "yeah."
The actress did not elaborate on the adoption plans and said there are restrictions anyway on beginning a new process until at least six months after new children come into a family to provide appropriate time to adjust.
The latest addition, twins Vivienne and Knox, were born three-and-a-half months ago. "We have so many children that they're not really stunned anymore when kids come home," Jolie said.

Why don't you try enjoying your infants for longer than 5 seconds.

I cannot even big to communicate to you how sick this makes me.
I think it's possible to be addicted to kids - especially when you don't have one and you want one so badly.
I'm not bothered by these two though. To me, I think it's kinda neat to see people with shitloads of money doing more than just donate it to charities. I don't think it's possible to argue that these adoptive kids will have a better life in their care than they would have otherwise. I just don't think it's a bad thing.
I am getting quite a bit of crap about having children eighteen months apart, so I can only imagine. I want my children somewhat close in age, because I want a large family, and I don't want the oldest and youngest to be drastically far apart in age. I don't care if other people think I'm insane, it's my life. And it's now or never. I ain't gonna live forever.
Sorry.
I would have a dozen kids, if I could afford it. I admire how they're giving these children a much better life than the alternative that they were born into. I'm staunchly pro-life, so I can never knock someone for adopting. Nate and I hope to adopt someday. We don't have as much money as Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, but we do have a house, food, clothes, and LOTS of love to give!
I am torn on this. First I think it is great that they are adopting (though have they adopted in the US yet....we have kids here who need a home as well) and I love that they have such a culturally diverse household. They have the money to do this and I do admire what they do for childrens charities and you know their kids are going to have a great upbringing.
However, I often wonder....and maybe it is is because I don't have alot of siblings, how do you give all your children the individual time and attention they deserve? I have wondered when people have really large families how it is possible to do this?
LOL. I think it's great to adopt, but I also think that with that much going on, there has to be somebody getting neglected. I'm sure little Maddox is like--who are all of these jokers?
TD That's EXACTLY what I'm thinking!!!
I think it's possible to be addicted to attention...to yourself.
i think you hit the nail on the head there Iris....Brangelina is addicted to attention. they annoy me.
now, do i think it's great that kids who need to be adopted are getting adopted? yes i do. on the flip side, do i think they're going a bit overboard? yes i do.
I'm all for adopting lots of kids. But I'm worried if I have kid #3 will my other two get neglected? To some extent, yes. So I guess I'm torn on how many kids is too many for each person. Hmmmm.....
