CARING: The Hollywood couple already have six kids

Angelina, a UN Special Envoy for Refugees, had wanted to rescue three brothers she met on a mission to the war-torn country.

“The oldest was very quiet but never left Angie’s side during the visit.

“Angelina was heartbroken to learn the three of them had seen their father taken away by Syrian soldiers and their home was bombed. And they lost their mother in the bombing.”

Angelina, 40, and 51-year-old Brad, whose three eldest children are adopted, are currently completing the adoption red tape.

“Brad was concerned about how it would impact their other kids."

“Angie didn’t put up a fight. She knew it just wouldn’t work."
