Feb. 12 2010, Published 4:50 a.m. ET
Angelina Jolie was recently in Haiti touring hospitals and meeting with refugees in her role as UNHCR Goodwill Ambassador. Jolie took time out from her busy schedule to talk with CNN’s Christiane Amanpour, who asked Angelina about reports that she, and partner Brad Pitt, are planning to adopt from the earthquake ravaged country.
"I'm always open to children around the world. We're that kind of a family; Brad and I talk about that," Jolie said. "But that's not what we're focusing on at this time, by any means. We're not here for that."
