Actress and U.N. activist Angelina Jolie is adopting her second child, a newborn Ethiopian baby orphaned by AIDS. "Her name is Zahara," Jolie tells PEOPLE MAGAZINE
Jolie has often talked of adopting a second child. After a trip to Ethiopia earlier this year, Jolie said of Maddox: "My son is in love with Africa, so he has been asking for an African brother or sister."
Jolie , 30 says the girl's full name is Zahara Marley Jolie.
The head of Ethiopia's state-run adoption agency, Hadosh Halefom, tells the Associated Press: "The paperwork has gone through. Miss Angelina's request was accepted last week."
"Angie's over the moon," a source close to the actress tells PEOPLE. "It's a dream come true. She's always wanted to extend her family."
As for rumors that Jolie and Brad Pitt are planning a family together, the source said. "This has nothing to do with her relationship with Brad Pitt. People are going to try to say it's about their relationship. But it's not. Angelina's adopting as a single mother, and she wants that emphasized."
