Don't believe everything you read!
Adam Waldman, an advisor to Angelina in her philanthropic efforts, told U.S. news website The Daily Beast that the Oscar-winning actress was in Haiti working on a project to improve child welfare and safety.
Angelina has never even met the four-year-old Haitian orphan called Leah, who British and other newspapers claim she is in the process of adopting, Waldman told The Daily Beast.
"Earlier this week, the Daily Mirror U.K. and othersreported that Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are in the process of adopting a child from Haiti," Waldman said in a statement.
"There is no truth to these rumours. Rather, Ms. Jolie is focused on enhancing the welfare and legal protection of children within Haiti. As such, she has been meeting with government of Haiti officials, Haitian legal experts and non-governmental organizations regarding a new initiative of the Jolie-Pitt Foundation. The recently launched Jolie Legal Fellows Program will assist the justice system in Haiti to improve child protection," the statement added.
Angelina, 35, and partner Brad Pitt have six children, three of whom -- Maddox, Pax and Zahara -- were adopted from Cambodia, Vietnam and Ethiopia respectively.
The star of Salt and The Tourist was named a United Nations Goodwill Ambassador in 2001 and has made several trips to Haiti, as well as donating US$1 million to relief efforts for the victims of the 2010 earthquake. Reuters
