The couple are reportedly planning to adopt again. 

A source apparently told Radar Online: “Angie wanted to adopt all three, but when she got back to the United States, and told Brad about it, he said no.

“Going from six children to nine was just way too much, and Brad was concerned about how it would impact their other kids.

“But Angie didn’t put up a fight. She knew it just wouldn’t work. But they compromised at adopting one.”
