Los Angeles - Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt want to open a foster home.

The Hollywood couple - who are currently expecting twins - are keen to help underprivileged children throughout the world.

Angelina - who also has three adopted children, Maddox, six, Pax, four, Zahara, three, as well as two-year-old biological daughter Shiloh with Brad - said: "We keep thinking, 'Is there ever going to be a time when we don't have kids in the house?'

"Maybe we'll eventually start a foster home or something. We have a clinic that handles children so there are ways of looking after kids without actually physically having them in your home and we're doing more and more of that. But I think we will adopt again. I'd like to do it again."

The couple have shown their desire for a large family by recently purchasing a 35-bedroom French mansion and have been finding novel ways to ensure their kids are entertained throughout the summer.

A source said: "Brad and Angelina got a Slip 'n Slide from Toys 'R' Us and a sprinkler for the kids, and picked up water guns so they could have water wars all summer long."

Meanwhile, Angelina has revealed she has no plans to marry Brad but may change her mind if the children put pressure on her.

She told Australia's Sydney Morning Herald newspaper: "We want to raise these children together - we're committed to them and that's the priority.

"It's not about some contract binding us to have to be dedicated to each other, but that we were going to start building this family and be close just because we are.

"So we don't need to do it but one day we will. Maybe if the kids start asking - they'll probably be the ones to make the decision." - Bang Showbiz.com
