Sandra’s crown prince
Sandra Bullock says her adopted seven-month-old baby boy Louis has been welcomed into her family with open arms. “I didn’t think it would be a boy,” she admitted. “We don’t have any boys in our family. Boy, is everyone really happy about that. So, he’s like the crown prince. You know, it’s nothing but girls in our family. My cousin in Germany has one son. Can you imagine how miserable my father is? I mean, every pet was female. But it was just the hierarchy that needed to be broken.”
The 46-year-old Oscar-winning actress also revealed that she was destined to be a mother one day, and would have gone to any lengths to have a child. “I think everything works out the way the universe wants it to work out. We had always said it didn’t matter where the child came from,” she said. “If they had any issues that were medical issues, we didn’t care. It’s like the child that needed us in the home is the child that’s going to be placed.”
Sandra also spoke candidly about parenthood and said she was relieved when the adoption process was finalised. “He’s from New Orleans, he’s a little Cajun cookie. It felt so rich… It felt like it was time, you know… I wanted to do everything exactly the same way everyone else did,” she added. “And, it was… He was always mine, you know. It wasn’t like I felt like someone was going to take him away. But it was nice to have someone say, I think you’re a fit parent.”
