Actors Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have already adopted three children from different countries while having one of their own, but according to recent reports, their “rainbow family” is far from being completed. Sources close to Hollywood’s golden couple claim the two are currently searching for a fourth addition to their family, this time from Africa. "Brad and Angie have made no secret of the fact that they are keen to extend their rainbow family," said a source close to the couple. "But they've always been very careful to ensure that they leave enough time between kids so that that each child fully integrates into the family and feels truly settled. After adopting 3-year-old Pax Thien from Vietnam earlier this year, from a region closer to Cambodia where Jolie’s first adopted son, Maddox, was born, Jolie and Pitt hope that this way they’ll help Zahara Marley, the tot Jolie adopted from Ethiopia in June 2005, to feel more comfortable and connected to the family as she grows up. "Angie in particular feels very strongly that while Shiloh will grow up seeing the family resemblance between herself and her natural parents, and Maddox and Pax will feel a connection through their birthplaces, Zahara has no such close-knit bond. "They hope that by finding an Ethiopian brother or sister - preferably sister - for her, it will help Zahara feel more comfortable and happy in her own skin." The rumors of a fourth adoption emerged amid speculation of the couple’s crumbling relationship, and another child might help them overcome their differences.
