Angelina Jolie Wants At Least Two More Children
Angelina Jolie sat down with Britian's Stylist magazine, according to Life & Style, and confessed that she and Brad Pitt would like at least two more children: one adopted and one biological.
"I can see further additions to the family -- both adopted and our own," Angelina, 34, tells the British magazine Stylist in its October issue.
Brad and Angie plan to add two more children, if not more, to their family, confirms an insider close to the couple. "They want one more biological baby and an adopted baby -- for now," the insider says. "But who knows what the future holds. Some people get addicted to drugs and alcohol, but Brad and Angie are addicted to children."
"Addicted to children": does that seem likely to you?
Angelina does seem to realize that she's already stretched pretty thin.
"We have to make sure we can devote enough time to each of them," she tells Stylist, referring to Maddox, 8, Pax, 5, Zahara, 4, Shiloh, 3, and 15-month-old twins Knox and Vivienne. "There's always one of ours demanding that I help color in something very important with crayons."
While visiting Syria as a United Nations Ambassador, a mother was embarrassed about how her five children were behaving. Angelina reportedly told the mother that her children "were even naughtier!" Angelina has also admitted that life with six children was "absolute chaos at times." I can see that :)
Well, you look at families like the Duggars with 18 children and another on the way and think maybe it's not so bad. Or do you still think Angelina and Brad should think long and hard before expanding their family?

It's not like they're poor and unemployed like OctoMom. They have enough money to hire people who can help them out. I would never have that many kids, but if it makes them happy...

My thoughts exactly/ These two can afford it, they can hirs nannies and helpers to aid them and they seem to be doing well so far. If this is what is making them happy then the world should just let them be.

Ugh, spare me.

and, how would you know this?
Isn't it obvious? They each have been putting put about two movies a year. Working on set requires long hours and neither has stopped doing movies so who's raising those kids? The nannies

Sorry, that's not obvious to me...seems like they take turns making movies. I really am not a fan of either one, but there's no need to crucify them based on assumptions which, I know, you think are obvious.

If she wants kids, and can give them a good life, then why not?

Yep, have as many as they both can handle.

Correction, their nannies can handle...puleez
I think i could never handle more than say.. 4 kids, but my grandparents had more kids than angie and they did just fine. I don't know, from what's written in tabloids i'd say they're doing pretty well, so if they feel like they want a huge family, that's fine. Being addicted to kids isn't, they're not toys/pets, but i doubt that's what AJ (and Brad even less) is really thinking.

They can afford it and they obviously love their children so yeah, go for it. Brad said long ago that he wants a big family.
Beware before reading, I'm putting a very opinionated statement below LOL.
People like the Duggars disgust me. There are so many children in the world needing to be adopted and loved. I'm fine with a couple having 2 of their own children because in essence they are continuing themselves and leaving no more than they were (when they die), and with as man people as there are in this world that's more than enough. The adoption part doesn't bug me. I love it when people adopt and if I could afford to take care of my family (2 kids, me & hubby) plus more kids I certainly would. But people like them (breeders (and I mean people birthing more than a few kids(4 is a good number 1 for each hand of the parents) bug the crap out of me. I think their (the Duggars) plan was to take over the world, if their children breed like they did the world will be filled with Duggars in less than 1000 years. Gross!
Like I said my opinion...

With that attidude, perhaps you'd be better off living in some country that doesn't respect your civil liberties, like China where they try to impose rules about how many daughters a family is allowed to have. I get it...it's "your opinion" and you're entitled to it. I just think it screams overbearing and controlling.
Not really I just don't think its the job of the other children or nannies to raise the kids. And when people start having to many kids its gets to that point if they can afford nannies that the older children care for the younger ones. Plus its not a control thing, its a use your brain thing. The world is already over populated so how does having more children help the planet. People don't get it if we keep going the way we're going their wont be a world left for our children in 500 or so years.

Don't they say that once you have 3, any more is just the same chaos? They'd be better parents if they didn't both have such hectic, time-consuming careers, but I guess there are other priorities. There is no way these two are full-time parents. It just isn't possible.
Didn't I read somewhere that the kids they already have are all "slow" academically and do not play well/socialize with other children? They drag those poor kiddies all around the world. They have no solid base. No permanent home. No structured schooling. They shouldn't have more children. They need to properly care for the ones they have. And just because they have money doesn't mean they will have happy kids. Kids don't care about cash. They care about structure and security and not having to go thru the Nanny to get to Mom or Dad. Idiots. They collect children like they're dolls.
She is so stupid!
Poor kids, poor Brad "the Washcloth" Pitt!

It's not about money!Taking care of a child is a serious business and they do not seem to know it!

I know that everyone thinks they got the money to take care of them so who cares? But really?! Seriously, having so many kids is never an ideal situation you can't possibly spend your time with ALL of them, even if they do have nannies. What's the point of having more kids if other people are taking care of your kids??
Thank you. Money doesn't raise children. Parents raise children and it isn't a part time job.

Here, here!
one of them is always with them at least. Like now they both are with them since july.

how do you know whether they are doing a good job or not? Has Maddox run out and started doing drugs?
there are lots of people out there that have quite a few kids and jobs and they are just doing fine.
Where are the police?
Where is the prosecutor?
Where is the state care?
If Brad's not up for it I can pitch hit for him if he's interested.
don't compare them to the duggars, who stayed home and raised their children. the duggars didn't jetset around the world leaving their kids with nannies half the time.
We will never know if the kids take drugs.
This will always be a mystery.
The public always gets presents a "clean family".
really? tell that to ryan o'neal, the lohans, michael douglas, the hulk hogans, the osbournes, and all the other celebs with kids in rehab.
yes , those all kids have movie star parents. Brad and Angie are trying to do things differently. micheal duglas has only 1 child from his first marriage. the ausborns only3, the hulk only 2. See, numbers are not the problem the problem is the atmospher they grow up in.

well if they want to and can, then they can do whatever they desire. it's not like they're out partying and not taking care of their children.
1623820 points
Just because you can, doesn't mean you should.
and who are you to tell them (or anyone else) what they should or should not do?
I expect them to have at least to more. adopted and bio and call it at 8. I would love to see more jolie-pitt kids. They are adorable. Brad and Angie are doing their best to be the best parents they can be. At least one of them is always with the kids.

This isn't a new interview. It's cut and paste. Even if it was new, why are people acting so shocked? BOTH Brad and Angelina said they plan to have more kids. This isn't news. Nobody knows this family so you sound ridiculous saying that the kids are way behind, have severe emotional problems, and the parents never spend time with the kids. They never work at the same time. If they do have committments overlapping it's never for more than a day or two. It's bizarre that everybody says they are neglectful parents yet parents like Jennifer and Ben Affleck and Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rosdale are perfect parents eventhough they work at the same time in different coasts/countries.
addicted? yes
calling bs on this quote. no mom of a child through adoption would ever say, "both adopted and our own."

I noticed that too. I thought it was an odd statement and don't believe she would say that.
All the people here who think we dont need to have more children need to watch on youtube demagraphics it pretty scary. I am in no way a fan of the 2 of them but I think they do spend time with their children and they are well taken care of and travel is very education for children.

They seem to be better parents of 6 than some people are of 1. If they want a dozen, then more power to them. I can't see them wh*ring out the kids and doing a reality show.

Agreed. And really, what business is it of anyone's? They aren't draining anyone's pockets but their own. Everyone looks happy and healthy. Adopting three children is a far sight better than none. I don't see these kids being involved with drugs, or negative behaviors in their future. And having been a nanny in my past life, and still enjoying relationships with both the parents and the children I cared for, not all children are negatively affected by having nannies thank you very much!
I believe Angelina is excessive about everything. First it was an excess of drugs, then excessive sex with both genders, then working too hard and too many movies, too many children, then she is also excessive about loving being pregnant. I think 6 children is enough, especially when the rumors are that Brad is stressed out and overwhelmed. Of course the decision is theirs, but in my humble opinion 6 is enough, and I would reccomend: no more children! enjoy what they have , 6 healthy, beautiful kids!!

That is the mentality of an addict.

I feel tired just thinking about all the work that must be involved in taking care of the six they have now. I have two boys and a full time job and I've got nothing left at the end of the day as far as energy goes, how on earth do they do it with six?
