Jolie-Pitt wants another more adopted child

Jolie is a forceful envoy for the UN Children's Fund (UNICEF) and some reports say she and Pitt would like to adopt another child to add to Pax, who came from Vietnam in 2007, Zahara who came from Ethiopia in 2005 and Maddox who Jolie adopted from Cambodia with her former partner Billy Bob Thornton.

Jolie and Pitt also have three children of their own, Shiloh, who was born in Namibia in 2005, and twins Vivienne Marcheline and Knox Leon, born in July, 2008 in France.

"They're the greatest little people I've ever met, and they give me so much joy," Jolie said of her adopted kids.

Today's stars are not the first to build up a brood of children among the world's most fortunate.

In the early 20th century, American singer and dancer Josephine Baker adopted 12 children -- from countries ranging from Finland to Japan, Ivory Coast and Colombia -- in part as part of a protest for the black civil rights movement.

She called them her "Rainbow Tribe" and for a while lived with them in a French chateau.
