Angelina Jolie appeared on Good Morning America and the subject of her expanding family was discussed. Jolie dislosed that she and Brad Pitt will most likly adopt their next child. The couple currently have 5-year-old Maddox, 23-month-old daughter, Zahara, and 6-month old daughter, Shiloh.
"I want Mad to know that as our family grew and we all came together, we didn't just start having children, biological children," Jolie says.
She does admit that having another biological child is a definite possibility, but that they plan on adopting another child together first.
"I even think that I did make it clear that we, we would think about adopting next, which is important for me in the balance of how — in our own family, our kids perceive it," Jolie said.
"Yes, we have Shiloh and it's been a wonderful experience, but we want to find another brother or sister in the world for our family."
She even went so far as to dislose that she is currently on birth control. "I'm on the pill,” she said.
"You know, now the questions are more when you have a mixed-race family, do you balance the races so there's another African person in the house for Z? So there's another Asian person in the house for Mad? Shiloh has Brad and I she can look at," Jolie says.
"What's best for the children as they grow?” she ads. “We don't just want to have different children from different countries. That's not the point.”
The actress said that she and Pitt try to enjoy the normal aspects of parenting and make special time for each child.
"Really, the big special times are just like this morning, just very, just a lot of nothing together. Just sitting around coloring. We broke the coffee machine. We tried to fix it," she said. "We were playing with the kids, just trying to find somebody's bottle, change somebody's diaper that's, you know, gone leaky and just all that good stuff."
She says that Pitt is a very active father and a great partner for her.
"He really enjoys them," Jolie said. "He woke up very, very early this morning and let me sleep in because I had this interview. ... Dealing with the two girls and bottles and food, which is not easy to do, on his own, for quite a few hours this morning so I could rest. ... He's just a really great partner, a great, great man."
