Angelina Jolie set to adopt tsunami orphan

Angelina Jolie is set to adopt an orphan from one of the regions devastated by the recent tsunami.

The stunning actress, who already has a three-year-old son adopted Cambodian son, Maddox, has been so moved by the effects of the Asian disaster, she wants to visit hard-hit Sri Lanka to help and find a child she can give a loving home to.

She told American TV show 'Celebrity Justice': "I think if children need a home, to adopt them is wonderful.

I will be looking into orphans that have just lost their parents, but always wherever there's a need. So we'll see how big my family grows over time."

The Oscar-winning beauty - who recently shelved plans to adopt Russian baby boy after discovering it could take up to six months to get him - has made no secret of her desire to have a large family - saying she wanted a "rainbow of children from around the world".

She added: ""I prefer to adopt. With every adoption I save a further child from the orphanage."

Angelina, 29, recently went through the process of being evaluated by an agency so she could become a mother again.

She revealed at the time: "I always thought that when Mad started school and was a bit more independent of me, it would be time to introduce another baby. That's what I'm doing.

"I'm in the process of being evaluated as an adoptive mom. They're visiting my home, taking my fingerprints, all that stuff. It's very exciting."
