Angelina Jolie: I'm not adopting a Haitian orphan

Angelina Jolie denies she's intending to add to her brood

Angelina's rep has denied she's about to welcome child No 7 into her home with partner Brad Pitt.
The Oscar-winning actress was reported to be about to adopt 4-year-old Leah, a Haitian orphan who lost her entire family in the country's earthquake.
'Angelina's lawyers are in the process of getting an authorisation so Leah can spend some time with her in America,' a source claimed in the Daily Mirror.
'That's standard procedure, basically they need to make sure Leah will adapt well.'
'A lot of observers from groups such as the Red Cross are ensuring that Angelina is treated like anybody else and not fast-tracked, which would be viewed invidiously.'
But Adam Waldman of Washington's Endeavor Group says: 'Earlier this
week, The Mirror and others reported that Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are in the process of adopting a child from Haiti. There is no truth to these rumours.'
Spokesman Mr Waldman says Angelina is instead meeting with Haiti officials, Haitian legal experts and non-governmental organisations regarding a new initiative of theJolie-Pitt Foundation.
Angelina is mum to Shiloh, 4, and twins Knox and
Vivienne
, 2, plus adopted trio Maddox, 10, Pax Thien, 7 and Zahara, 6.
