'Brad Pitt's publicist has confirmed that the actor is in the process of becoming the adoptive father of Maddox and Zahara Jolie. In court papers filed Friday, it was revealed that Brad and Angelina are petitioning the court to change the names of the children to Maddox Jolie-Pitt and Zahara Jolie-Pitt. Pitt's publicist admits that they are "confirming that Brad Pitt is in the process of becoming the adoptive father of both children," but says that no further comment will be made on the matter.
'Rumors are floating that the adoption is one of the first steps towards cementing the family - prenups have also apparently been drawn up for a future marriage between the pair.'
(that's not my spelling of 'rumors' btw!)
