Following months of speculation and secret negotiations, the couple may be adopting two-year-old Moussa from war-torn Syria, adding to their three adopted children and three biological children.
The toddler is currently isolated in the Altinozu refugee camp in Turkey, but his life could soon change.
In her role as a United Nations ambassador for refugees and displaced people, Ange had visited the camp earlier this year and it was then that she met little Moussa.
“Angelina heard about him from a translator and she was obviously upset, but Moussa was just beaming from ear to ear and when he saw she was wiping tears from her eyes he toddled up to her and gave her a hug and it was a very emotional moment and everyone was suddenly laughing and smiling,” a charity worker had said adding that “she kissed him on the top of his head and then they were basically inseparable for the rest of the visit."
Extensive checks confirmed that baby Moussa was an orphan and that is when Angelina allegedly began the process of filing for adoption.
Moussa could be joining Cambodian-born Maddox, 13, Vietnamese Pax, 11, and nine-year-old Ethiopian Zahara, as the adopted members of the chaotic "Brangie bunch", which also includes biological children Shiloh, 8, and twins Vivienne and Knox, 5.
While the prospect of seven children under the age of 13 is enough to send many parents into a panic, Brad and Ange are taking it in their stride.

Reminds me of the time when people had to worry about Peshawar type disasters but were more concerned with reham cooking sausages in a video. Like....please get your priorities straight...
