The adoption rumors are true. In her first interview since welcoming daughter Shiloh Nouvel into the world, Angelina Jolie confirmed she’ll soon be looking to adopt again.

“Next, we’ll adopt,” the actress said in an interview on CNN’s Anderson Cooper 360.

She’s including handsome hubby, Brad Pitt, in those plans, of course. Jolie’s two other children, 4-year-old Maddox and 16-month-old Zahara, were adopted from Cambodia and Ethiopia, respectively. Pitt is currently in the process of adopting the pair, as well.

While Jolie says her next child will be from another country, she hasn’t decided which one or whether she’s planning on a boy or a girl. It would dpend on what would be best for “Mad and Z,” the beauty stated.

Also in the interview: Jolie admitted she was terrified during Shiloh’s birth, praised her medical team in Namibia and said Pitt was by her side.

“He was in the operating room. And we had amazing doctors. And everybody was so lovely.”

While the couple is back in the U.S., neither side has lost sight of the people they met and experiences they shared abroad. Jolie was inspired by those she helped in her role as UN Goodwill Ambassador.

“You think, ‘Jesus, the things these people go through,’ ” she says. “I owe it to all of them to get myself together and stop whining about being tired and get there and get focused because, God, it’s the least I can do with what they live with.”
