New York – Angelina Jolie says she and boyfriend Brad Pitt want more children, and will likely adopt their next child to try to balance their “mixed-race family.”
Jolie and Pitt have three children: 5-year-old son Maddox, adopted from Cambodia; 23-month-old daughter Zahara, adopted from Ethiopia; and 6-month old daughter Shiloh, born to the couple in May.
“I want Mad (Maddox) to know that as our family grew and we all came together, we didn’t just start having children, biological children,” the 31-year-old actress said Thursday on ABC’s “Good Morning America.” “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.”
Jolie said it’s important to balance how their children perceive their family. “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,” the actress said. “What’s best for the children as they grow? … We don’t just want to have different children from different countries. That’s not the point.”
