Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are set to adopt a baby from Burma.
The couple have reportedly enlisted the help of Dr Jane Aronson, who runs the Worldwide Orphans Foundation, and a leading Burmese monk to help arrange visits to local orphanages in the war-torn country.
Angelina and Brad - who already have three adopted children, Cambodian boy Maddox, six, Vietnamese son Pax, three, and Ethiopian girl Zahara, two, and a 16-month-old biological daughter Shiloh together - are said to be desperate to find a girl to help Zahara feel more settled within the family.
As well as adopting a child from the region, Angelina also wants to use her role as a UN Goodwill Ambassador to help Burma.
A source is quoted as saying: "Angelina feels she is barely making a dent in the suffering she sees throughout the Third World as she travels incognito to different countries as a United Nations representative.
"She's in talks to go into Burma and help with students and AIDS victims who are suffering terribly."
Angelina, 32, has made no secret of her desire to expand her family, previously saying: "I want to create a rainbow family. That's children of different religions and cultures, from different countries.
"I believe I'm meant to find my children in the world somewhere and not necessarily have them genetically. I like to think with every adoption I'm saving another child from an orphanage."

A witness said this when staying at the same hotel on September 8 “It was amazing. As soon as the cameras were off, she just shut down and looked very angry.They were waiting for the elevator and Angelina had her arms crossed. I heard Brad say, ‘It’s okay. Don’t be upset.’” But when he reached out to her, the witness recalls, “Angelina jumped like she was being burnt with a cigarette. She scowled and said something under her breath,” the witness says. “Brad still tried to comfort her again,” but Angelina, says the onlooker, pulled away and angrily cursed at Brad.
