Pitt and Aniston to adopt, says brother

Hollywood golden couple Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston are adopting a baby, according to the actor's younger brother Doug.

The Troy star and his stunning wife wed in July 2000 and have made no secret of their desire to start a family since Aniston finished filming Friends earlier this year.

Aniston has said: "We are absolutely in the process of having a baby.

“It's where we're headed."

Doug, 37, told British weekly Closer he is looking forward to becoming an uncle, saying: "I'm really pleased.

"We're delighted that Brad and Jen are adopting. It will be a great addition to the family."

The good-looking pair admitted they are house hunting in England for a place to bring up their child and have looked at homes in the ancient town of Rye in East Sussex.

Pitt explained: "I've always liked England. Jen also likes it and Europe, so we'll be looking for a place soon.

"Europe is a great place for kids to grow up."
