Angelina Jolie to adopt orphan baby from Syria

But now the Maleficent star, 43, intends to go it alone – even though the couple are still battling over custody of the six children they already have.

A source close to Angelina confirmed: “She has always wanted to help an infant from that region and saw no reason why she shouldn’t start the adoption ball rolling by herself.

“Brad admires the fact that divorce is not deterring her from completing the plan they had together. He thinks it’s a bold move – and he’s promised to support her every step of the way.”

Earlier this month, child psychologist Stan Katz told Los Angeles Superior Court that an official custody evaluation has already begun over their children: biological Shiloh, 12, 10-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne and adopted Maddox, 17, Pax, 14 and Zahara, 13.

They will all be individually interviewed by social workers and attorney Jim Fedalen, an expert in California family law, declared: “They are having their say and what they say could have enormous sway over the court’s decision.”

Angelina is still pressing for full primary custody with agreed visitation rights for actor Brad, 54, who has said he is “heartbroken” at being separated from their brood for protracted periods.

The children could be welcoming a new sibling soon if Angelina’s request to adopt another child is accepted by authorities.

Her friend said: “She is hoping she’ll be able to fast-track the process. In her role as a UN goodwill ambassador, Angelina has seen for herself the nightmarish fate of so many refugees. She has toured orphanages in neighbouring countries and has privately cried over so many children losing their parents.

“The timing doesn’t bother her one bit; she’s determined to push ahead with this despite everything else that is happening with her and Brad’s other youngsters.”
