Brand Pitt and Angelina adopting?

MANILA, Philippines – A tweet has revived rumors that Hollywood actors Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are interested in adopting a Filipino child.

The tweet posted Feb. 28 read: “Confirmed: Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt inquired about possible adoption of a Filipino child from Hospicio de San Jose in Manila.”

Although it did not site a source, this particular bit of info has been re-tweeted by the site’s users, including by @Karen_DaviLa. The item was also later picked up by several tabloids, and mentioned on a Journal Online news update on Mar. 1.

Geronimo, who claims to have participated in outreach programs at Hospicio de San Jose, insisted that he was assured that all adoption inquiries made to the institution are confidential. Geronimo is not a spokesperson of the orphanage, nor is he affiliated with it.

It will be noted, however, that power couple dubbed Brangelina’s latest adoption issues, as of February this year, have to do with a child from Haiti and not from the Philippines. The couple has been rumored to be in the “latter stages” of adopting a seventh child into their brood—which is something the couple has denied through their spokesperson.

Despite the many rumors and even jokes surrounding Pitt and Jolie, especially with regards to adopting more children, they are nevertheless a picture of a happy tight-knit family. They already have their adopted children: son Maddox, nine, from Cambodia in 2002; Zahara, six, from Ehtiopia in 2005; and Pax, seven, from Vietnam in 2007. The couple also has three biological children: four-year-old Shiloh and two-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne.
