A business associate of the couple told Daily Express Jolie became teary-eyed several times over the orphans of war in the Syrian conflict.
Jolie has recently had her ovaries and fallopian tubes removed last month due to a cancer scare a month ago, preceded by a double mastectomy in 2013 to beat the dominant cancer gene that runs in her family. Having had her health issues seen to, she and Pitt believe it may be the right time to add another child, preferably an orphaned girl from Syria.
Jolie, who is a U.N. Goodwill Ambassador, has gone on field in areas of conflict over 40 times in the last 10 years, and six of those visits were to Syrian refugee camps where an estimated 70,000 children have been orphaned of one or both parents in the midst of the civil war.
In November 2013, Jolie made an impassioned plea to the world to help save an entire generation of Syrian children who have been orphaned, traumatized and isolated in the ongoing conflict.
Currently, speculations have risen she and Pitt are ready to make good on her appeal with the legal adoption of a Syrian child.
Jolie, who is turning 40 next month, is celebrating a clean bill of health after her surgeries have drastically lowered her risk of cancer, and is now looking to aid her Syrian cause by making an addition to their growing family.
