Angelina Jolie Opens Up About Her Decision To Have Shiloh

I'm confused. I thought Angelina Jolie getting pregnant was by accident. I didn't realize that it was a decision that was thought through. I checked my archives and don't have anything from her talking about how it all happened. If anyone has any old quotes from Angie about getting pregnant, email them to me. I am curious to reread them.
UPDATE: Thanks Brandi! She did say it wasn't planned. But it could be interpreted a few different ways. It could just mean Angelina never thought she would WANT a child. Either way, Shiloh is beautiful and the family is happy. Click here to read it.
Angelina sat down with Reader's Digest and talked about Brad Pitt, the moment she gave into having her own biological child and the hope to have many, many more.
On realizing she wants biological children:
"Before I met Brad, I always said I was happy never to have a child biologically. He told me he hadn't given up that thought. Then, a few months after Z came home, I saw Brad with her and Mad, and I realized how much he loved him, that a biological child would not in any way be a threat. So I said, 'I want to try.' "

On how she went from single mom of one to part of a family of six in just three years:
"I met this amazing person, and we realized we had very similar views on how we wanted to live our lives. It's happened quickly, with so many children. Yesterday, picking up the kids from school, Brad turned around in the car, and there were three of them. He couldn't stop laughing."

On deciding to adopt a toddler from Vietman:
"As kids get older, it's harder for them to be adopted. ... Something changed for me with Shiloh. We had Mad and Z, and neither looked like Mommy or Daddy. Then suddenly somebody in the house looked like Mommy and Daddy. It became clear to us that it might be important to have somebody around who is similar to the other children so they have a connection. Mad's very excited that his brother is from Asia."

On her wanting more children:

"Yeah, yeah. More biological, more adopted."

On finding quality time with Pitt:
"Right now, that's our problem! We hang out. We try to talk over the swing set. We'll have a date night once everybody is settled. ... Especially now with Pax, he still gets scared if I'm gone more than a few hours. But we'll get them occupied with a movie and popcorn and try to run off and lock the door for a bit."

On what Pitt finds sexy about her:
"I could be dressed up in the sexiest outfit for a photo shoot, and by his behavior, he'll let me know that's nice, but it's nothing as sexy as when I'm home surrounded by the kids or reading books, educating myself."

Thank you BGee for bringing some factual sense to this discussion. The irony is that more people will comment to this post and completely ignore the facts that you have just presented.

Jan 05 was when Brad and Jen went public with their separation. Sometimes things are not what they seem and it would not have surprised me to find out that they actually were separated way before then...like when she forgot to mention Brad in her thankyou speech, or when she stated in an interview that he was not the love of her life.

I find it amusing how people are debating on whether or not the child was accidental while not appreciating that Jolie and Pitt donated 1 million to help relieve victims of Darfur tragedy
