According to Dailymail.co.uk, Brangelina was supposed to adopt their seventh kid from Burma but certain laws of the country prohibited the Hollywood couple.
Speculations are growing that the couple are shifting their sights on the Philippines for their 7th baby.
According to report, the Pitt-Jolie’s private plane landed at Ninoy Aquino International Airport last week, before returning to New York on Monday evening, not to plan the couple’s vacation but apparently to look for the next member of the Pitt-Jolie family.
“Brad and Angelina flew out together. They want to add to their family and tried to adopt from Burma but the authorities are very strict, so they decided to look at the Philippines,” says a source.
A spokesperson for Pitt and Jolie declined to comment.

The buzz that Brangelina are in Manila started when a US-registered private plane landed at Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) Friday afternoon. The passengers reportedly booked a room in Shangrila.
There were speculations that the couple will fly next to Boracay and stay at the newly-opened Shangrila five star international resort hotel in the island. Workers of the said hotel denied the rumors.
However, a source from the resort confirmed that a representative of Brangelina booked a suite this coming lenten season. It’s not confirmed, though, if the famous couple will use it.

Synopsis: “I was born under unusual circumstances.” And so begins “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button,” adapted from the 1920s story by F. Scott Fitzgerald about a man who is born in his eighties and ages backwards: a man, like any of us, who is unable to stop time. We follow his story, set in New Orleans from the end of World War I in 1918, into the 21st century, following his journey that is as unusual as any man’s life can be.
