Angelina Jolie is rumored to be adopting a third baby.

The pillow-lipped beauty - who has already adopted two children, Maddox, four, and nine-month-old Zahara - has hinted she is ready to add another child to her family.

The actress - who is dating Hollywood star Brad Pitt - told People magazine at the recent Worldwide Orphans Foundation benefit: "It's a very special thing. There's something about making a choice, waking up and traveling somewhere and finding your family."

She added: "Most of the night I just thought about how quickly I want to adopt again. There are so many wonderful places. There are many parts of Asia, Africa, South America, so sooner or later I'll end up everywhere, I'm sure."

The star also revealed she is planning to help build a pediatric AIDS centre in Ethiopia after witnessing the plight of orphans when she adopted her baby daughter.

She said: "I personally am not willing to wait any longer for action by the US or any government while children are suffering and dying. I know some of the kids that were next to my daughter - two of them passed away, with symptoms very similar to hers."

"I really do believe that if I didn't get her out at that time, that she wouldn't be here. She was days away (from death)."
