There may be a new child joining the Jolie-Pitt brood.

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie may be trying to adopt a fourth child, this one from Vietnam, according to press reports.

The Hollywood couple have reportedly filed papers with the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services to adopt a boy from the Tam Binh orphanage in Ho Chi Minh City, the country's former capital where the stars spent Thanksgiving.

According to Long Duc Vu, the head of the Bureau of International Adopted Children -- aka the Ministry of Justice -- authorities in Vietnam still haven't been contacted. The director of Tam Binh Orphanage, Trung Van Nguyen, is still awaiting direction from the Ministry of Justice.

If the adoption goes through, the boy would join the family-in-progress consisting of adopted boy Maddox, 5, adopted girl Zahara, 2, and Jolie-Pitt blood offspring Shiloh, 9 months. The couple is reportedly looking to adopt a boy around the age of 3 or 4.

The Jolie-Pitts currently make their home in New Orleans, but have been jetting around the world for various work-related, personal and humanitarian purposes. Jolie, 31, last starred in "The Good Shepherd" and can be heard as the voice of Grendel's mother this summer in "Beowulf." Pitt, 43, starred in the Oscar-nominated "Babel," and next stars in "The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford," which will be released in the fall.
