Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have filed paperwork to adopt a boy from Vietnam, according to press reports.

The pair have three children -- Maddox, 5, Zahara, 2, and Shiloh, 9 months.

A source in Vietnam tells US Weekly the couple have filed papers with the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration services to adopt a boy from the Tam Binh orphanage in Ho Chi Minh City, which they visited in November.

The pair have long been vocal about their desire to raise more international children.

Their son Maddox was born in Cambodia, while daughter Zahara was born in Ethiopia.

Jolie said recently, "If we're going to have 10 kids, we'd like to raise them while we're young."

As much as they want to help the world, I think they should settle down and concentrate on their family before adding more children

I think having/adopting kids is Angelina's way of hanging onto Brad. She used Maddox to lure him in, adopted Zahara to hook him, had Shiloh to keep him when he expressed that he wanted his own kids, and now is getting another one because he's probably losing interest. Didn't we just read that they're in therapy? If they're already having problems, adopting more kids is not what they need to be focusing on right now.

nothing like a bandaid baby to heal a troubled relationship.

I agree.

I think it's great what they're doing, but kids want and deserve their fair share of attention to feel secure. No doubt it's very confusing for them to have to share the spotlight even more every year or so. Not to mention all that travelling.

What's the rush? I totally doesn't get this at all, I love kids too, but this is ridiculous.

I think Angelina would be doing this whether Brad was with her or not.

For what it's worth, I don't think she has him roped in, held down or tied up. I think Brad is a big goofy asshole and frankly I wonder what Angelina or his ex-wife ever saw in him. His appearance may appeal to some, but he seems so fucking dumb that it'd wear off quickly.

Too many, too soon

Now they can get a bus and ride around like the Partridge Family.

Agreed. Pitt is as dumb as a rock. Angie does what Angie wants, and she would be adopting kids a la Mia Farrow with or without him. My guess is she'll dump him, not the other way around.

I don't really see how it would be another kid stealing the spotlight any more than it would be for a child in any other family whose parents had a new kid every year or so. People are so determined to find fault here.
