Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie Not Adopting, Rep Says

K D Griffin
For days now rumors have circulated that Brad Pitt and life partner Angelina Jolie were set to adopt a Czech orphan that Jolie has become attached to while filming in the Eastern European country.

According to an article published in the Sun, Jolie had visited a Catholic orphanage on numerous occasions and had become very attached to one of the youngsters.

The Sun quoted a source that was supposedly close to the Oscar winning actress: "Her maternal instincts are in overdrive and she felt a bond with the kid straight away. She called Brad and said she had found a child who would fit in perfectly with the other kids. If everything goes smoothly, Angelina will have an Eastern European son to add to her brood."

Additionaly the Sun reported that Pitt had flown from Montreal, where he was wrapping up Benjamin Button, to meet the child.

Celebrity Truth has spoken with Pitt's publicist, Cindy Guagenti, about the adoption story, she said the story is "not true."

Pitt and Jolie are briefly in the United States for a short time while she she promotes A Mighty Heart and he does the same for Ocean's Thirteen.

Jolie is currently filming Wanted with Morgan Freeman in Prague where she and Pitt continue to be the center of much media speculation. Every day has seen new pictures of the power couple and their family surface.

In recent interviews Jolie has said she will try and take a year off to spend time with her family. She also told Parade magazine that she and Pitt might chuck it all in a few years.

"Brad and I have a lot of kids, and we want to have more kids. And they demand a lot of time. It takes a lot just to get all of them fed and clothed and out the door to different schools on time. It's fun, and we love it. But you can't balance everything. I think both of us only plan to work for a few more years. We'll try to just stop sooner or later, so we can be home and travel, and just live."

The Jolie-Pitt brood now includes Cambodian son Maddox, five, Vietnamese son Pax, three, Ethiopian daughter Zahara, two, and natural born daughter Shiloh.

    Brad has talked about there is a limit to his acting career in the past, now that he has the kids I would think they would both be more selective and work less and less. It seems from the photos that most of the parenting tasks like taking the kids to school are done by one of the two of them, and they spend the whole weekends together with the kids. Seems kind of typical of big families

    I think they started off with the best intentions for these kids, but the more they keep adding, the less attention they seem to be able to give them. Its good to hear that they are not adopting this time. I think they should take a breather for a while. Great article!

    This reminds me of those animal hoarders you see on the news. But I am sure they are taking care of them.

    This reminds me of a funny Flash video I saw of Brad Pitt on the phone with "another woman" because Jolie was too busy with the kids - maybe not nice but it was funny! Nice job on the story.

    yeah seems like if they want to be parents, they might want to spend a little more time with them!
