Angelina Jolie says she and Brad Pitt will adopt another child next.

The star, who only gave birth to the couple's daughter, Shiloh, three weeks ago, said they would decide what country their next infant should come from based on what would be best for the two adopted children they already have.

Maddox, four, is from Cambodia, while 16-month-old Zahara came from Ethiopia.
Their surnames were legally changed to Jolie-Pitt earlier this year after Pitt, 42, announced his intention to become their adoptive father.

"Next, we'll adopt," Jolie, 31, told CNN's Anderson Cooper. "It's gonna be the balance of what would be the best for Mad and for Z right now.

"It's, you know, another boy, another girl, which country, which race would fit best with the kids."

The actress also admitted she was "terrified" during Shiloh's birth in Namibia by Caesarean section and was relieved when she heard the baby's first shriek.
"That was my whole focus," she said. "I just wanted to hear her cry."

Jolie, a UN goodwill ambassador, said she donates a third of her income to refugees around the globe and other causes. "Yeah, well, I had a stupid income for what I do," she said.

The interview will be broadcast on Wednesday 21 June at 10am on CNN International as part of World Refugee Day.
