Oscar-winning actress Angelina Jolie - who has three adopted children and three biological ones with partner Brad Pitt - has reportedly started the process to adopt a baby girl from Syria.
Pitt is said not to be keen on the idea, but Jolie went ahead.
A source said: "He has made it clear that six children are more than he can handle. The idea of one more seemed ludicrous, but Angie is determined to complete her rainbow family."
A spokesman for the Immigration and Naturalisation Service in Washington confirmed that "only Angelina's name was on the adoption papers".
Jolie adopted her eldest son, Maddox, from Cambodia in 2001, and was legally his only parent. She went on to adopt Zahara from Ethiopia in 2005 and soon after getting together with Pitt, he legally became the father of both children.
The couple then adopted Pax from Vietnam in 2007.
