There’s no doubt that raising six children has kept Angelina Jolie busy over the last few years.
But with two of them having now flown the coop and the youngest teens becoming more independent, the star is hoping to add another bundle of joy to her brood.

Ange, 47, has previously adopted from Cambodia, Vietnam, and Ethiopia.
This time, she’s said to be looking to Jamaica to find a child in need of a forever home.
Adding weight to these rumours, Ange recently flew into the Caribbean island nation.
She was seen attending a literary festival, but sources are positive she is looking at more than just books while there.
“Angelina has been talking about adopting another child for over a year now,” says a close insider.
“With Maddox and Pax off doing their own thing and Zahara away at college in Atlanta, she’s really suffering from empty-nest syndrome.”
Along with Maddox, 21, Pax, 19, and Zahara, 18, Ange is mum to Shiloh, 17, and twins, Knox and Vivienne, 14, whom she shares with ex-husband Brad Pitt.
We’re told Ange has already floated the idea of a new baby by the kids and “they’re all just as excited as she is,” says the source.
While Ange has been dating, she’s struggled to meet the right partner.
Friends say she is feeling “lonely as hell” but knows the joy a new baby brings is “better than anything she could ever get from a man.”
“She misses the bustle of having young kids depend on you for everything,” continues the source.
After all, the Maleficient actress has previously admitted that motherhood is “the most wonderful thing” she has ever done.
“There is nothing that gives me more pleasure than entertaining my children,” says Ange.
