Pitt and Jolie deny adoption rumours

Brad Pitt has denied reports that he is planning to adopt a fourth child with Angelina Jolie.

It was rumoured that the pair intends to fly to Ethiopia in November in search of a baby girl to help Zahara - who was adopted from the country in 2005 - feel more secure as she grows older.

The couple have already adopted children from Cambodia and Vietnam, and have a biological daughter, 15-month-old Shiloh.

Jolie admitted choosing Vietnamese son Pax earlier this year so that Maddox, who was born in Cambodia, could see the similarities between them. She also revealed at the time that she hoped to find a second African baby for Zahara to bond with.

But Pitt's spokeswoman Cindy Guagenti told TheCelebrityTruth.com that reports of a fourth adoption for the couple are false.
