Angelina Jolie can't help but be affected by the plight of so many homeless youngsters during her travels to war-torn Syria.

Now, after several health setbacks of her own, the 39-year-old actress and husband Brad Pitt are reportedly moving forward with plans to adopt a Syrian child.

Angelina and Brad are already parents to six children, three biological including Shiloh, eight, and six-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne, and three adopted, Maddox ,13, from Cambodia, Pax, 11, from Vietnam, and Ethiopian Zahara, 10.

'The time is right': Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are said to be moving forward with plans to adopt a child from war-torn Syria

A business associate of the couple told the UK's The Express that Angelina and Brad want to adopt a little Syrian girl.

'She has been moved to tears on several occasions over the plight of youngsters orphaned in the Syrian conflict,' the source told The Express.

'Now she has sorted out her health issues, she and Brad believe the time is right to adopt another orphan from there, most likely a daughter.'

As special envoy for the UN High Commissioner for Refugees, Angelina has made more than six visits to Syrian refugee camps and has been an eyewitness to the atrocities happening in that sphere of the world.

Brad Pitt's rep denied that they are planning to adopt a child in Syria; DailyMail.com has also reached out to Angelina's representative with no immediate response as of yet.

'Very close to their hearts': Brad and Angelina are both very busy but have cleared their schedules to allow time to adopt

At least 70,000 children have lost their fathers and another 3,700 more have lost both parents who were either feeling civil war, thrown in prison or killed.

Angelina implored the world 'to save a generation of traumatised, isolated and suffering Syrian children from catastrophe' during a speech in November 2013.

The Oscar-winning actress-turned-director and her longtime love are both on the same page when it comes to bringing another orphaned soul into their home.

And they want to do it this year, hopefully by the end of summer 2015, a friend told The Express.

'This is something that has become very close to their hearts,' the pal said. 'They would like to accomplish it, if possible, before the end of summer because, even though they are both busy, their diaries are relatively light for most of 2015.'

Last month Angelina - who married Pitt in the summer of 2014 - revealed that she could not biologically have children again as she had her ovaries removed.

The Beyond Borders beauty had the operation to prevent cancer cells from taking over the organs - her beloved mother Marcheline Bertrand died from cancer in 2007.

And two years ago, Angelina underwent a double mastectomy as another preventative measure.
