Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are reportedly considering adopting another child - less than three months after welcoming son Pax into the family.

Echoing rumours about an adoption of an Indian child while filming A Mighty Heart in the country last year, Angelina is said to have set her heart on adopting an orphan from Prague, where she is currently filming Wanted.

According to the Sun, Angelina has been making regular visits to a Catholic orphanage in the Czech Republic capital and has bonded with one child in particular. Partner Brad Pitt flew in from a brief spot of filming in Montreal, Canada over the weekend to meet the child and to begin the official adoption process.

A source told the newspaper: “Angelina … had told Brad she felt it was time to extend their family again.”

“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.”

The family have been based in Prague while Angelina works on the film but are thought to have flown to New York yesterday for a fortnight during a break in the filming schedule.
