Despite rumors of instability in their relationship, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are reportedly preparing to travel to Ethiopia in three months to adopt their fourth child.

Friends claimed Angelina hopes to find a sibling that resembles her daughter Zahara, also adopted from Ethiopia.

According to sources close to the pair, they hope that another adoption will shore up their relationship as well as helping Zahara, the Ethiopian girl they adopted two years ago, feel more connected to the rest of the family.

“Brad and Angie have made no secret of the fact that they are keen to extend their rainbow family,” said a source close to the couple. But they’ve always been very careful to ensure that they leave enough time between kids so that that each child fully integrates into the family and feels truly settled.

“Angie in particular feels very strongly that while Shiloh will grow up seeing the family resemblance between herself and her natural parents, and Maddox and Pax will feel a connection through their birthplaces, Zahara has no such close-knit bond.

“They hope that by finding an Ethiopian brother or sister, preferably sister, for her, it will help Zahara feel more comfortable and happy in her own skin. Both Brad and Angelina are incredibly excited about the latest addition to the Jolie-Pitts and if anything will bring them closer together, then this is it.”

According to the Daily Mail, Angelina and Brad plan to travel to Ethiopia’s Wide Horizons adoption agency in November (the same agency they adopted Zahara from) to find their newest addition
